Brief Information About Szombathely

Szombathely is one of Hungary’s oldest cities and the administrative center of Vas County. It is considered an important cultural and economic center of the western part of the country. The city’s population is approximately 75,000–80,000 people, and its area is approximately 37 square miles (97 km²).

The city is located in western Hungary, not far from the Austrian border, near the Alpine foothills, approximately 137 miles (220 km) southwest of Budapest. Nearby cities include Zalaegerszeg and Sopron, and on the Austrian side — Graz and Vienna, making Szombathely an important cross-border transportation hub.

Important trade and military routes of the Roman Empire passed through here. After the fall of Rome, the city experienced periods of destruction and rebuilding. During the Middle Ages, Szombathely became an episcopal center, and in the 18th–19th centuries, it actively developed as a regional administrative and trading city.
