Join a hands-on Italian pasta-making workshop in Győr in 2025 and dive into a delicious, flour-dusted adventure that’s equal parts craft and feast. You’ll learn how to make iconic shapes like farfalle and ravioli from scratch, color them with dramatic black cuttlefish ink, and pair them with simple-but-stellar sauces and fillings. Creativity runs wild on the garnish front—your imagination sets the limit. The vibe: friendly, practical, and all about rolling, shaping, and tasting as you go.
The workshops run at Placc on two Tuesdays—November 4 and November 18, 2025—both in Győr. The menu is focused and satisfying: ravioli and farfalle, made fresh with guidance and tips you can actually use again at home. Expect a close-up look at Italian kitchen essentials, from dough textures to balancing sauces, plus tricks for bold pasta colors. It’s a feel-good way to level up your home cooking and have a great night out centered on real Italian flavors.

Make a Weekend of It
If you want to linger in and around Győr, there are plenty of places to stay, from riverside inns to Old Town baroque gems and relaxed suburban spots. Think quiet water views, easy strolls to the historic center, and a mix of sports, culture, and good food within walking distance.
One standout is a charming lakeside holiday village made up of twelve thatched-roof cottages. It’s a stunner: a tranquil park setting with a lake that turns into a summer favorite for families and young crowds. The beachy vibe draws swimmers and sunseekers on hot days, and there’s a kayak and rowboat rental on hand for easy adventure. Anglers love it year-round, and the reed-roof cottages clustered in the middle of the park create a postcard-perfect atmosphere. If you’re after nature, space, and unhurried mornings, it’s an easy pick.
Riverside Calm Near the Center
Prefer urban convenience with a nature backdrop? The Amstel Swan Guesthouse (Amstel Hattyú Panzió) sits on a 54,000-square-foot lot right on the Mosoni-Danube, just a short walk from Győr’s historic core. It’s a calm green-zone escape that’s still central, with plenty of options for active downtime. The 22 air-conditioned rooms come with color TV, phone, minibar, shower, and WC. The on-site restaurant is one of Győr’s favorites and doubles as a go-to event venue. The kitchen leans on carefully selected ingredients, seasoned chefs and servers, and modern kitchen tech—exactly the combination you want after a day of exploring or a night of pasta rolling.
Retreat-Style Simplicity
For a quieter, community-focused stay, there’s a youth accommodation option on Győr’s suburban edge, about 5 miles from the city center in the Little Hungarian Plain (Kisalföld) region. Built in 1994 with a two-wing layout and chapels on both floors, the 45-bed house runs year-round by prior arrangement. Fresh air, green views, and rural calm make it ideal for rest, downtime, or reflective gatherings. Even without booking rooms, you can rent the dining area, lecture hall, and kitchen for a fee. It’s a solid venue for retreats, courses, or group meetups that need space to focus and unwind.
Sleep in a Baroque Postcard
If Old Town charm calls your name, the Baroque Hotel Promenade (Barokk Hotel Promenád****) sits right on the pedestrianized Ányos Jedlik Street (Jedlik Ányos utca), in a landmark baroque mini-palace that’s been turning heads since the early 1600s. Rooms are elegant and comfortable, with doubles and triples, plus a family room, a bio-room, and a baroque suite for something special. Each room is named after a notable figure from Győr’s history, with decor and in-room notes to match. Whether you’re in town for business or leisure, it’s an easy base for museum-hopping, café-crawling, and crossing bridges at sunset.
Classic Comfort With Live Music
Just 10 minutes from Győr’s beautiful downtown, BOLERO Hotel blends the feel of a classic civil-style hotel with an inviting restaurant and atmospheric live music. It’s right off the M1 and Route 81 leading into the city center, yet still pleasantly quiet. Couples, families, business travelers, and friend groups chasing good food and an easygoing evening scene will all feel at home here. Think comfort-first rooms, laid-back service, and a dining room that knows how to set a mood.
How to Plan It
– Book your pasta workshop date early—November 4 or November 18, 2025—since hands-on classes fill up fast.
– Pick your stay based on your vibe: lakeside tranquility, riverside convenience, Old Town baroque flair, suburban retreat, or a classic hotel with live music.
– Bring your appetite and your curiosity. You’ll be kneading dough, shaping pasta, and stirring pots—then eating the results with sauces and fillings you just made.
Győr is ideal for a quick culinary getaway: historic streets, water everywhere, and a kitchen culture that delivers. Come for the pasta, stay for the river walks, and leave with recipes you’ll actually use.
