Gyöngyös in Hungarian means the place with pearls, perhaps referring to the beautiful location of the city, where the Great Hungarian Plane meets the Mátra hills. Gyöngyös is also called the city of grapes and wines, and the Gate of the Mátra mountains. It is also a city of tradition and Hungarian folklore. Keeping these in mind we collected some of the pearls of Gyöngyös, places that can be of certain sightseeing interest for the WPCF 2014 participants.
