The title gave Pécs a unique opportunity to transform its economic structure into a culture-based economy, saying a final good-bye to the shock and pain caused by closing down its mines.
No we can move on. The ECoC title offers a great opportunity not only to the city but to the entire South Transdanubian region as well.

Pécs Cantat will turn the city into the Singing Cultural Capital of Europe and it aims to show the unique level of choir singing in Pécs and to attract people through the language of music to discover the Hungarian Capital of Culture in 2010.

You can learn more about the Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture project on the offical website: http://en.pecs2010.hu/ or please read the following brochure prepared by the Hungarian Tourism Office.
