Retiring in Hungary: 7 Best Places to Retire in Hungary
4) Gyor, Hungary
With a population of over 125,000, Gyor, Hungary is another city that expats recommend. An expat in Gyor described living there saying, "I have lived in the Gyor area since 2008 and enjoy it very much. The city is more like a town, and the pace is slower than Budapest, which is why I like it. I teach at the university and enjoy all the people I have come in contact with. Housing is very reasonable, shopping is similar to most US places, just not the sprawl you are used to. You can get around by bike and bus everywhere as well. Like most Hungarian towns the transition to countryside is abrupt, and there are outlying villages that are just that. Very little suburbia."
