Veszprém, Medieval fortress town in western Hungary.

Veszprém spreads across seven distinct hills, with its castle district positioned 266 meters above sea level, 15 kilometers north of Lake Balaton.

The city received its first episcopal seat in 1009 and maintained a prominent role as a religious center throughout medieval Hungary's development.

The designation 'City of Queens' stems from Hungarian queens receiving their coronation crown from Veszprém's bishop throughout medieval times.

The local transportation network includes 30 bus lines operated by V-Busz company, connecting all major districts and surrounding settlements.

The city features Hungary's first episcopal palace, established in the 11th century, which now functions as an architectural museum displaying medieval artifacts.
