Beautiful surroundings, great atmosphere. Unfortunately we could not enter the main building, because it was closed, so give a call before you visit.

Took a train from Gyor to visit, then took the long walk up to the abbey, no taxis, it was early December though. Parts of the abbey are beautiful and old, but it has been rebuilt over the years.

The monastery has been almost completly rebuilt in recent years, the only section that shows some old gothic parts is the church.

Kind of off the beaten path but well worth touring. Near Gyor http://www.worldheritagesite.org/sites/pannonhalma.html
