The tower is in a nice area for walking and the view from above is nice. The walk up is not too difficult.

We walked underneath this very impressive tower, built by locals to warn of fires by trumpet blast! Slightly spoilt during our visit by a very large pink banner advertising the upcoming music festival!

We spent several days in the Sopron area and marveled at how the bustling city has modernized and at the same time has made so many refinements to its centuries old buildings and infrastructure. We last visited Sopron in 1996 to visit my wife, Agnes', birthplace and where she and her family fled from in the 1956 revolution.Sopron is about a 1 hour drive south of Vienna and has incorporated Viennese culture and language (Austrians find the city a popular weekend destination themselves). It is also a short train ride from Vienna to central Sopron. The famous fire tower is a sight to behold. Fine restaurants and accommodations along with places to visit will make for a great itinerary. Young people do speak English and most wait staff and hotel staff are fluent and all are most friendly. Get on-line to the Sopron, Hungary visitors site and look over the attractions in and nearby. We stayed at a new guest facility that has 4 private villas surrounding a large swimming pool and is across from a beautiful recreational lake and a 10 minute drive to central Sopron. The owners name is Attila and Andi Buzonics, a friendly young couple. If you want to see what old Europe looked like but with fine cosmetic improvements then this is an excellent place to see it and in modern comfort.
