Pápa
This pleasant town, where prestigious schools educated a number of celebrities, including novelists and poets, is referred to as 'the Athens of Pannonia'. Standing in a protected park, the Esterházy Mansion (1 Fő tér) today houses the music school, the castle museum tracing the history of the town and the library. The 200-year-old working blue dye workshop, housed at the Blue Dye Museum (12 Március 15. tér), is an industrial rarity which offers a glimpse of the various stages of the process of printing white patterns on a blue background. The Gránátalma Pharmacy Museum (5-7 Jókai utca) continues to operate to this day as pharmacy. The town's most recent attraction is the Várkertfürdő, which may serve as a refreshing final stage of a long sightseeing tour.
