As the plaque on the ground in Fő tér reminds you, Sopron used to be an important stop along the Amber Road, and fragments of Sopron’s Roman past – in the form of reconstructed Roman walls and outlines of 2nd-century buildings – can be found at the open-air ruins behind the city’s town hall. At the time of writing, a footpath was being built that will shortly encircle the remnants of the city’s defensive walls and other ruins of interest.
