when:
A hands-on strudel-making workshop in Győr promises to lift the veil on grandma’s legendary magic trick and turn childhood dreams into flaky reality. On Monday, 2026.02.23, at 9000 Győr, Szent István Road (Szent István út) 8, participants will learn the time-honored technique of stretching traditional homemade strudel dough so it pulls and pulls without tearing. With a few pro tips, anyone can confidently bake the real deal at home. Pairs will work together to stretch one strudel sheet, and by the end, 16 strudel rolls will come out of the oven.
The program’s offer is straightforward: get hands-on with dough, master the thin-as-paper stretch, and finish with a generous yield. The organizers reserve the right to change the date and program, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates.
Győr makes a good getaway base—and not just for pastry lovers. In the Little Hungarian Plain (Kisalföld) region, in the city’s garden district about 5 miles from the historic center, a 45-bed youth lodging house offers clean air and calm rural freshness. Built in 1994 with a two-wing layout, it features a chapel on both floors. It’s available year-round by prior arrangement. Even without booking rooms, you can rent the dining hall, lecture room, and kitchen for an extra fee. This house is also tailored for retreats and courses, providing a quiet, reflective environment.
Prefer to be in the middle of it all? In the very heart of Győr’s historic old town, on Jedlik Ányos Street (Jedlik Ányos utca), a listed Baroque mini-palace houses the Barokk Hotel Promenád****. Its elegant double and triple rooms include a family room, a bio room, and a Baroque suite. Each room is named after a local luminary, with decor and in-room notes reflecting the story behind the name—ideal for both business trips and leisurely city breaks.

Beer with centuries of heritage is reborn at the Apátúr Brewery (Apátúr Sörház), operating under the aegis of Széchenyi University and the Saint Maurus Benedictine Priory.
