Budapest
Budapest is the capital city of Hungary. We sometimes travel there for a trip but it is about 130 km from Győr.
If you travel to Budapest, I suggest, you should see the Heroes' Square, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Gellért Hill. If you have time, go for a long walk to Margaret Island or should go to the ZOO in Budapest to visit the two icebears.
