The main sights are Káptalan Hill at the confluence of three rivers (Danube, Rába and Rábca), Püspökvár, and the residence of Gyor’s bishops, that can be easily recognised by its incomplete tower. And many others sights worth to see.

Ignatius church and both sides of the Terraced house with the Medicine Museum in the ground floor and Széchenyi pharmacy, with original baroque equipment and wonderful frescoes.nThe local thermal and experiential watering place was opened in 2003.
