Hungary Sopron Travel Guide 2024: Everything you need to know

The city of Sopron is located in the most western part of Hungary on an isthmus of land that pokes into Austria, near Lake Fertö (Lake Neusiedl).

Only 75 kilometers south of Vienna, it is directly west of Lake Fertő, the Fertőtáj UNESCO World Heritage site, and makes a great day trip or a stopover between Lake Balaton and Vienna. I love this city for lots of reasons.

It is a charming medieval village with quirky theatre groups, a firewatch tower, Hungarian dumplings, goulash, great Sopron wine served in unique Buschenschank or Poncichter wine taverns.

In this travel guide, you’ll find a brief history of Sopron, why and how to visit, what to see, what’s unique about this little city, and where to stay.

Q. How is Sopron pronounced?

A. Sopron is pronounced,  “Shop-ron.”

Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈʃopron]; German: Ödenburg, Slovene: Šopron. Hyphenation:  Sop‧ron

Main square in Hungary Sopron

Sopron is one of those magical hidden places in Europe. Its history includes its origins as part of the Roman Empire when it was known as the walled city of Scarbantia.

Scarbantia is still here – its Forum building and old Roman city walls have been excavated and are right next to the old town main square.

A Free Royal City

Trip Anthropologist

During the 9th–11th centuries, the Hungarians came to Scarbantia, built a castle, and named the town Suprun after a castle steward named Suprun. 

The children of Sopron’s nobility were held hostage by the Hungarians but the people seem to always have good political radar. When the Hungarian King, King Ladislaus IV arrived at the city with his armies, the city opened its gates for them. The King rewarded Sopron with the rank of a “free royal town.”

It was also during these early centuries of Sopron’s growth as a city that many Croatians settled in the area to tend the abandoned farms. The long history of Croatian settlement around Sopron is why the Croatian language is one of the recognized languages of the region including Hungarian and German.

The most loyal town in Hungary

Peace Memorial in Sopron Hungary

In the 16th century, the Ottomans occupied most of Hungary, but Ottoman Turks who ravaged Scarbantia in 1529 didn’t occupy the town and the region north of Lake Balaton remained a part of Hungary. As a result, the city’s importance grew as it became a refuge for Hungarians fleeing the Ottomans.

During the early part of the 20th century, this part of Hungary was settled by Germans as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sopron became known as Odenburg in Germany.

It was during the aftermath of WWI when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was broken up that the German-controlled areas of northwestern Hungary were given to Austria.

The local people didn’t welcome this and local unrest was rife. Because of it, a plebiscite was held in 1921 and the surrounding eight villages and Sopron voted to remain Hungarian. This date became an annual city holiday and reminds ins residents of Sopron’s status as the most loyal town in Hungary.

War and the 20th Century

Trip Anthropologist

The past century was a tumultuous one. Sopron suffered greatly in World War II from bombings, invasions, and its eventual capture by the Soviets in 1945. Under Soviet rule, the socialist government attempted to turn Sopron into an industrial city. Sopron did manage to maintain its medieval town center and many of its landmarks.

In 1989 Sopron was a catalyst for the mass flight of East German citizens escaping to the west during the Pan-European Picnic. This was a protest held on the borders of Hungary and Austria.

The lifting of the Iron Curtain created a well-known moment when hundreds of citizens could escape from the GDR. This successful crossing paved the way for the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall in November of 1989. 

Sopron Today

Trip Anthropologist

The modern-day city we see today is a part of the European Union. It has turned its economy around and now recognizes the heritage of Sopron’s German-speaking culture. It has become an officially bilingual city with both Hungarian and German used for traffic, street, and direction signage.

The Castle district was once enclosed by the city’s walls. It has been refurbished in a major urban architecture project, as has been Syzlenski square, making Sopron’s inner city a great place to walk around.

Győr is the county seat of Győr-Moson-Sopron county and the other main towns around Sopron are Mosonmagyaróvár and Kapuvár. Being so close to the Austrian border and with great transportation links, Sopron is popular with day-trippers and people traveling between Budapest or Lake Balaton and Vienna.

The population of Sopron is around 63,000 citizens with 10% of the population being Croatian which is why you will also see Croatian signs around the area (and why there are some great Croatian pubs here)!

Sopron is located just beyond the Austrian frontier and Lake Fertő . Vienna is only 75 km away from Sopron and Hungary’s capital, Budapest, is only 200 kilometers to the east. Visitors also come from Slovakia as well as international destinations.

One of the reasons for Sopron’s popularity is that it has become known as the “dental capital of the world” and offers first-class dental treatment that is affordable.

Sopron is within easy reach of Vienna by car and you can take the A2 from Vienna to the A3 and then onto the Sopron exit directly to the city.

From Vienna, trains leave for Sopron every hour . The journey will take around 1 hour and 20 minutes and Sopron is the last stop on the line. This means that Sopron is an ideal day trip from Vienna.

Sopron can also be reached from the nearest international airports, which are Vienna and Bratislava. There are direct trains from both cities although you must take the train from the airport to the central train stations in both cities.

Bratislava is only a one-hour drive, or 2 hrs and 48 minutes by train, connecting through Győr.

I can think of so many reasons to visit and so many things to do, including exploring the old Castle district: its baroque Main Square with its cobbled streets, fascinating medieval houses, renaissance architecture, and old Roman archaeological site in the middle of town.

Then there’s the lovely Croatian pubs and Hungarian cafes and restaurants, the best local wines from the vineyards in the Sopron hills, and even inexpensive dental work – what else do you need?

Did I mention the centuries-old monasteries converted into ridiculously cheap accommodations around Sopron?

Baroque architecture, cobblestone squares, museums, churches, wine taverns, and a fire watch tower can all be seen in one day. An overnight stay in Sopron will give you two full days of exploring the city.

A third day will allow you to get out into the Sopron hills, the wine district, and Lake Fertö or to see one of Sopro’s many festivals such as the Fairy Festival.

Below are all the main sights in the old city (the Castle district).

Old Town Main Square

Main Square in Sopron, Hungary

On the Northern side of Old Town,  Sopron is the main square (Fő tér), which is surrounded by beautiful and elegant architecture.

The center of the square’s focus is the Holy Trinity Column which is a striking baroque monument erected to commemorate the end of the Black Death. It was erected in 1701 and by the end of the 18th century, it had become an important symbol to the people of Sopron. Decorated with figures of patrons and saints the monument was a tribute of gratitude to God for ending the plague.  

The square itself encompasses the City Hall (Eggenberg House), Storno-ház (opposite City Hall), and Fabricius-ház (see below). At Christmas time, it is also the site of the Christmas market.

The Storno- ház (Storno House) is one of cities grandest baroque buildings that date back to the 15th century. It is now a museum that holds the treasures of Ferenc Storno and his family.

It’s worth seeing inside Storno House not just because of its grand baroque architecture, but also because its rooms are decorated with stunning antiques including furniture, paintings, arms, weapons, and china and glass treasures collected by the family over the centuries. 

Storno House, Sopron, 8, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 During the works to the Museum Quarter, the Storno House exhibitions are closed. January-December: Tuesday-Sunday: 10.00-18.00 On Mondays, the exhibition is closed.

Fazbricius-há z (Fabricius house)

Trip Anthropologist

Fabricius-ház is, strangely, Hungary’s first national monument. It was given the title by King Louis II. Its Gothic Hall is especially worth seeing.

Fabricius-ház means “Two Moors house” and contains two very different types of museums. The first displays items used in everyday Storno life from centuries past.

But this 14th-century Baroque house with 17th and18th-century interiors also contains excavated treasures from the Roman period. This is quite a fitting modern-day use of the building, as a Roman bath has been discovered in the basement and it is now a dedicated space for a Roman lapidary museum.

Fabricius House, Sopron, 6, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 During the work to the Museum Quarter, the Fabricius House exhibitions are closed. January-December: Tuesday-Sunday: 10.00-18.00. On Mondays, the exhibition is closed.

The Goat Church

Goat church in sopron hungary

The Church of the Assumption in the main square is nicknamed the Goat Church. Why “Goat Church”?Local stories say a goat herder uncovered a treasure on the site and you will see on the Holy Trinity Column a goat being hugged by an angel.

A gothic church, the interior is mainly Baroque with a stunning red marble pulpit. The church is decorated with fading frescos and animal stone carvings representing human’s deadly sins.  it is the main Roman Catholic church in the city and Coronations were once held here, as well as sessions of Parliament.

Tűztorony (Firewatch Tower)

fire tower sopron

The iconic landmark and the de facto symbol of the city is the Tűztorony or Fire Tower which stands 58 meters high. Watchmen used to stand on the balcony to warn the people of encroaching fires and potential enemies.

The watchmen were also known for their musical prowess and were often a feature of weddings and celebrations taking place in the center of town. The tower itself stands on Roman foundations and consists of several architectural styles including a baroque crest placed on top in 1676.

1676 was the year in which much of the town was destroyed by fire. The city was rebuilt over the next few decades with Hungarian baroque buildings being erected in place of the destroyed medieval ones.

Sopron, Main Square Tel.: 99-311-327 Monday-Sunday 10:00-18:00 July-August Sunday- Thursday 10.00-18.00, Friday and Saturday 10.00-20.00

Scarbantia Roman Forum

Scarbantia_Archaeological site in Sopron

Scarbantia’s Roman Forum is next to the main square and has been excavated deep below the lines of multi-storied houses all around it. The partially excavated Roman ruins in the very center of the city are part of what makes Sopron unique. They were only discovered in the 1980s although a few statues were found 300 years ago. Excavation of the Capitolium began in 1956.

At one time Scarbantia guarded the Roman road north to Italy and was designated by the Romans as a municipium. It was a city with a Capitolium, amphitheater, waterworks, and the Forum that you can see today.

It’s also possible to see some of the remains of the oval-shaped wall that was 3 meters thick and 8 meters high and had mighty gates and fortified towers between its lengths.

Liszt Ferenc Conference and Cultural Centre

Trip Anthropologist

Second, only to the Firewatch Tower in terms of importance to the city, the Ferenc Liszt Conference and Cultural Center was once the city’s Community House, dating from 1873. Unfortunately, one of the Rondelles of the old Castle wall was pulled down to make way for the building. It has been a casino and the site of many important balls and concerts.

It is one of the most photographed buildings in Sopron and has been renovated to now include an auditorium for 1200 people.

Plays and concerts are held at the Center as are lectures. There is a ticket office at the Center where you can buy tickets to see performances in two of Sopron’s theater venues including the Petőfi Theater but also other venues around the city such as the Cave Theater (and Quarry). There is a little public cafe on site where the theater’s performers hang out.

Address: 9400 Sopron, Liszt F. u. 1.

Bakery House Museum (Pékmúzeum)

Trip Anthropologist

From 1686 (the year that Sopron was destroyed by fire) until 1972, Bakery House was a working bakery. When the last baker died, the city purchased Bakery House ( a part of Negyedi bakehouse ). It purchased all the contents of the Bakery and it is now a museum that shows you what a bakery looked like in Middle Europe a few hundred years ago.

The bakery is in the west wing of the building. You will see a coat of arms above the entrance that depicts two lions breaking a piece of pretzel.

It is known as the Pékmúzeum and you can probably guess that Pék is the Hungarian word for bread! It is located within the old farmer’s district located outside the city’s walls as was common in this part of Europe from the medieval period.

It’s a fascinating area to stroll around. The main streets in the farmers and craftsmen district are Balfi, Bécsi, Fövényverem and Halász streets.  It’s an easy stop on a one or two-day itinerary to central Sopron and is near the equally fascinating Poncichter district (see below).

Sopron, 5, Bécsi street Tel.:99-311-327 Open May-September: Tuesday-Sunday: 14.00-18.00, closed October to April. It can be visited by groups by booking in advance at [email protected]

Vineyard hungary sopron

Red wines and Buschenschank taverns

During the Roman occupation farmers in Sopron began cultivating wine grapes and producing both red and white wine.

According to stories from the winemakers, Napoleon’s soldiers who invaded Sorpon paid for their wine with a blue frank note, which the name of the most famous Hungarian wine  Kékfrankos  came from.

The red wines made from the Kékfrankos can be found internationally, but for a true Sopron experience, try a few different varieties in the unique  Buschenschank  taverns. They only exist in this part of Hungary.

They date back to the 17th century when winemakers would open their kitchens and courtyards to the public as licensed premises. Sopron winemakers didn’t store their wine out at the vineyards, they stored it in the city under their own homes!

The  Buschenschank  is similar to the  Heuriger  in eastern Austria. I find the newer Sopron region wines often have quite a rustic flavor, perfectly suited to the humble origins of the  Buschenschank  wine taverns.

 Although famous for its red wine, Sopron does grow white grapes and in the communist era, both white and red wine were mass-produced. The area is becoming known for quality wines that match Austrian varieties but are much less expensive.

Poncichter District

Trip Anthropologist

The farmers who grow the grapes were masters at using all the available areas for growing crops and they began to grow beans among the vines. They were known as  Poncichter  (bean growers) and you can find  Buschenschank  or  Poncichter  wine taverns in the “Poncichter District” in Sopron. This is an area encompassing Balfi, Gazda, Szentlélek, and Szent Mihály Streets on the edge of the city center.

As in Austria, you will find an object like a wreath or a bottle or a ribbon outside the taverns or hung over the doorways to show that they are open.

Local cuisine

Trip Anthropologist

The planting of beans between the vines by the  Poncichter  has led to Sopron’s traditional cuisine incorporating many bean dishes from salads to main courses and even a sweet bean strudel. This must surely be one of the strangest effects of wine production upon cuisine!

Spiced cabbage is one of the Hungarian dishes that is commonly served in the Sopron area and usually meals are meat-heavy with substantial goulashes and stews. Both can be more like soups, and dumplings are often sliced and more bread than dumpling-like.

The local restaurants also serve Croatian favorites many of which include cabbage but also veal dishes and pasta surprisingly. Together these different traditions and histories combine to make this little corner of far-western Hungary a unique experience.

Street festivals, markets, the Christmas market, and street stalls sell popular Hungarian street foods such as Lángos . These deep-fried flatbreads are common in Sopron wherever there is street food available!

Sopron (pronounced "shop-ron"; German: Ödenburg, Croatian: Šopron, Latin: Scarbantia) is a city in Hungary , close to the Austrian border, with a population of about 62,000 (2017). The town is officially bilingual, and its historical German language name is Ödenburg .

History [ edit ].

sopron tourist map

When this area was the Pannonia Superior province of the Roman Empire , the city's name was Scarbantia . Its main square was then the forum. During the period of mass migration the once prosperous Scarbantia declined to become a lifeless city of ruins; a new settlement was created here only after the Hungarians took over the territory. Hungarians strengthened the old Roman city walls and built a castle. The town was named in Hungarian after a castle steward named Suprun. In 1273 King Otakar II of Bohemia occupied the castle. Even though he took the children of Sopron's nobility with him as hostages, the city opened its gates when the armies of King Ladislaus IV of Hungary arrived. The king rewarded Sopron by elevating it to the rank of free royal town. In 1529 the Turks devastated the city, but it did not fall under Turkish domination. Many Hungarians fled from the occupied areas to Sopron, and the city's importance grew.

While the Ottomans occupied most of central Europe, the region north of lake Balaton remained in the Kingdom of Hungary (1538–1867). In 1676 Sopron was destroyed by a fire. The modern-day city was born in the next few decades, when Baroque buildings were built to replace the destroyed medieval ones. Sopron became the seat of the comitatus Sopron. Until 1918, the town (bilingual names Oedenburg - Sopron) was part of the Austrian monarchy, province of Hungary; in Transleithania after the compromise of 1867 in the Kingdom of Hungary. Following the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after local unrest, Sopron's status as part of Hungary (along with that of the surrounding eight villages) was decided by a controversial, local plebiscite held on December 14, 1921, with 65% voting for Hungary. Since then Sopron has been called Civitas Fidelissima ("The Most Loyal Town"), and the anniversary of the plebiscite is a city holiday. Sopron suffered greatly during World War II and it was bombed several times. The Soviet Red Army captured the city on April 1, 1945. On August 19, 1989 the "Pan-European Picnic" took place near Sopron, when the "Iron Curtain" between Austria and Hungary was lifted for a few hours, allowing some hundred East German citizens to cross the border.

Orientation [ edit ]

sopron tourist map

  • After being suppressed during the Cold War, Sopron's German-speaking culture and heritage are now recognized again. As a consequence, many of the city's street-and traffic-signs are written in both Hungarian and German making it an officially bilingual city due to its proximity to the Austrian frontier.

Getty Images/Panoramic Images

Hungary’s ‘most faithful city’ (a reference to a 1921 referendum when Sopron opted to stay part of Hungary rather than be absorbed into Austria) has been around for a while, first settled by the Celts, then the Romans (as a trading spot along the Amber Route from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic and Byzantium), then a succession of Germans, Avars, Slavs and Magyars. In recent times, this little town also indirectly brought about the most dramatic event of the late 20th century – the fall of the Iron Curtain. Today it is the most beautiful town in western Hungary, its medieval Inner Town (Belváros) intact and its cobbled streets a pleasure to wander. And if that weren’t enough, it’s also famous for its wine, surrounded as it is by flourishing vineyards.

30 Pictures to Inspire You to Visit Sopron, Hungary

Sopron, Hungary is yet another charming Central European city that the majority of travelers have no idea about. Until recently I also knew next to nothing about this place. The name sounded familiar but that’s mostly due to the location of Sopron, right on the border with Austria.

If you had asked me about what to see in Sopron my mind would have gone blank. But then I was planning my first proper trip to Hungary , where I wanted to see something else than Budapest , and as soon as I googled Sopron pictures I knew I wanted to go there.

Sopron didn’t disappoint. Quite the opposite, actually. The city turned out to be so much better than I expected.

I was immediately enchanted with beautiful architecture, winding lanes, and numerous Sopron attractions. Even if I spent only a few hours in Sopron (I went there as a day trip from Gyor ), I fell for the place and I believe it’s one of the most underrated destinations in Central Europe.

Why visit Sopron

The area of Sopron was inhabited already in the Roman Empire times before Hungarians arrived on this land. Once they settled, they developed the place by adding the castle and town walls, among other improvements in the town.

Sopron was mentioned in the 12th century as one of the most important centers in the region. Over the centuries the importance of Sopron only grew. Today you can find numerous monuments and ruins that are great proof of the long and rich history of Sopron.

The Old Town might be small but it’s the prettiest with cobbled streets and beautiful houses. It reminded me a bit of Sighisoara in Romania as both places have a bit of an edge under all the beauty.

It’s worth wandering around to enjoy the old-times vibe of the town, this is Central Europe at its finest and remnants of various architectural styles, from Roman Empire to Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque structures.

While there is so much charm and beauty outside don’t miss some of the interiors, especially of the sacral buildings like the Blessed Mary Benedictine Church or the synagogue.

And don’t focus only on the Old Town. Outside of it, you will find some of the finest examples of the architecture from the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century, such as Petofi Theater, the post office, or numerous palaces.

Since Sopron is located right at the border with Austria you can get a multicultural vibe there, it feels like the town is at the crossroads of two worlds which is kind of appealing.

If you are looking for an unusual day trip from Vienna , Sopron is a good option with direct and frequent trains and the journey times just a bit over an hour.

What to see in Sopron

While for me one of the best things to do in Sopron was simply wandering randomly around and getting to know the place at a leisure pace, there are actually pretty many Sopron monuments that are worth checking.

Here are some of the most important ones that you shouldn’t miss:

  • Firewatch Tower, and especially the view of the city. There is also a museum of local history here if you would like to learn more about Sopron
  • The eclectic City Hall from 1895
  • Beautiful houses at the Main Square, such as Storno House, Gambrinus House, or Kossow House
  • Holy Trinity Column, a perfect example of the Hungarian Baroque, from 1701
  • Blessed Mary Benedictine Church – the oldest church in Sopron, worth visiting inside for the frescoes, the lancet windows, and the unique Capistran pulpit
  • Széchenyi Square with beautiful palaces and the statue of Széchenyi
  • Old Synagogue from the 13th century and the Synagogue from the 14th century, both located at the Új utca in the courtyards
  • Houses at Új utca, a great overview of how the architecture of Sopron has changed over the centuries
  • Templom utca with important sacral buildings (such as Great Lutheran Church or Former Benedictine convent and impressive Baroque houses
  • Scarbantia Archaeological Park
  • The Castle Wall Promenade

But Sopron offers so many more places to visit. Basically, every house in the Old Town hides a long history and there are numerous spots worth checking outside of the center too. Sopron really is packed with monuments and I’m honestly surprised the city isn’t more popular among tourists.

Sopron is also the place where Ex-Emperor Karl’s plane landed in 1921, for his ill-fated second attempt to reclaim the Hungarian crown: https://andreasmoser.blog/2021/11/02/emperor-karl/

From your report, it looks like he should have just hung around to enjoy the lovely town. But his wife, eager to get back on the throne, wouldn’t have had none of that, of course.

Thanks for the info and the link, that’s really interesting! :)

Sopron is definitely one of underrated cities in Hungary. When I was there last year, only few tourists were around. maybe because of high covid regulations. So I could enjoy in the city and walk among empty streets. If no cars are there, one could think he is in 18-19th century. Although few hours is enough for old town, it is easy to spend much more time. I was in Sopron 3 days, with a daytrip to Szombathely. View from firetower was excellent. Or if you have a car, you can drive to Karoly viewpoint (kilato). It is on hill outside city. If you have extra time, I recommend visiting Fertod castle. It is less then hour away in direction to Gyor.

Thank you for the tips!

Thanks. My grandparents are from Sopron. Horvath and Kovacs. I know too popular to pin point. Bolla also.

Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapses after being struck by cargo ship.

How Baltimore’s Key Bridge collapsed – a visual guide

Photos and maps show how Francis Scott Key Bridge snapped after a vessel collision

  • Baltimore bridge collapse live updates

What happened in Baltimore on Tuesday morning?

A major bridge in Baltimore in the US state of Maryland collapsed after a container ship collided with it early on Tuesday, sending a number of vehicles into the chilly waters.

Rescuers pulled out two survivors, and were searching for more in the Patapsco River after reports that a 948ft Singapore-flagged container ship leaving port on its way to Sri Lanka had crashed into the 1.6-mile (2.57-km) Francis Scott Key Bridge, named after the author of the American national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.

The state’s governor has declared a state of emergency to get federal resources quickly deployed. Joe Biden said search and rescue efforts were a “top priority” and that all indications were that the episode was a “terrible accident”.

What do we know about casualties?

Six people remain unaccounted for after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, authorities said – all believed to be construction workers who had been repairing potholes on the bridge. Two people have been rescued so far, with one of them in serious condition.

The temperature in the river was about 47F (8C) in the early hours of Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Several vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the crash, including one the size of a tractor-trailer.

What do we know about the ship and the cause of the collision?

Ship-tracking data showed the Dali – a 290-metre (948ft) cargo ship with a capacity of 10,000 containers – was at the location of the bridge where the accident occurred at about 1.30am ET (0530 GMT) on Tuesday. The vessel had left Baltimore at 1am and was headed for the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, according to the maritime data platform MarineTraffic.

Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, said a preliminary investigation into the Key Bridge collapse “points to an accident”, and the FBI in Baltimore said the collapse of the bridge was not a result of terrorism.

The ship’s crew reported losing power and issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Moore said.

Video posted on social media showed the vessel ploughing into one of the bridge’s central supports in darkness, causing much of the bridge to give way as a number of vehicles fell into the Patapsco River below and the ship caught fire. Synergy Marine Group, the manager of the Dali, confirmed it had collided with one of the pillars of the bridge.

The same vessel was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.

How important is Baltimore port and what will the impact be on trade there?

The bridge leads to the Baltimore port, one of the busiest in the country and an important hub for shipping on the US east coast, especially in transporting road vehicles.

It is also the largest US port by volume for handling farm and construction machinery, as well as agricultural products, and a cruise terminal, according to Reuters.

Port traffic was suspended until further notice following the bridge collapse, and there will probably be grave consequences on commerce in the region.

The bridge’s collapse has revived scrutiny not just of this specific structure but also the overall health of bridges across the US, many of which are considered to be in poor condition. Maryland’s governor has said the bridge was “fully up to code”, while some experts have pointed out that the span, completed in 1977, was conceived before an age of supersized container ships.

What are the implications for road transport in Maryland?

With four lanes, the bridge is part of Interstate 695 and serves as a major route along the ring road that encircles the city. The bridge carries 11.3m vehicles a year, according to the Maryland transportation authority.

Authorities have called the incident a “major traffic alert” and closed all lanes in both directions of the I-695 Francis Scott Key Bridge. Highway signs as far south as Virginia have warned drivers of delays.

How the Key Bridge Collapsed in Baltimore: Maps and Photos

By Weiyi Cai ,  Agnes Chang ,  Lauren Leatherby ,  Lazaro Gamio ,  Leanne Abraham and Scott Reinhard

On Tuesday, a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed into the water seconds after it was struck by a cargo ship, sending vehicles on the bridge into the river below. The ship lost power and issued a mayday call shortly before it hit the bridge.

A video shows the cargo ship striking the bridge and the resulting collapse of the bridge.

The ship, a 948-foot-long cargo vessel called Dali, was about a half hour into its journey toward Colombo, Sri Lanka, when it hit a main pillar of the bridge. All crew members are safe, according to the ship’s owners.

Follow our live coverage .

A mayday call from the ship gave officials enough time to stop traffic at both ends of the bridge. The waters where the bridge collapsed are about 50 feet deep. By Tuesday morning, six construction workers who had been fixing potholes on the bridge remained missing as divers and other emergency workers on boats and helicopters continued to search for them. Two others had been rescued, and one was in the hospital.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was opened in 1977 and carried more than 12.4 million vehicles last year. The bridge was one of the three major ways to cross the Patapsco River and formed part of Baltimore’s beltway.

The Port of Baltimore is a major trade hub that handled a record amount of foreign cargo last year. It is an especially important destination — the nation’s largest by volume last year — for deliveries of cars and light trucks.

Overall, Baltimore was the 17th biggest port in the United States in 2021, ranked by total tons, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The bridge collapse brought marine traffic there to a standstill, with seven cargo or tanker ships stranded in the harbor as of Tuesday afternoon.

Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency for Maryland and said that his office was in close communication with Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. transportation secretary. The White House issued a statement saying that President Biden had been briefed on the collapse.

What time is the solar eclipse? Search your ZIP code for a viewing guide

Get ready for a spectacular show: A total solar eclipse will occur above the U.S. on the afternoon of April 8 . Most Americans will be able to see it in some form, but the distance between your location and the path of totality will determine how much of the sun will be covered by the moon. Many places in the U.S. − Rochester, N.Y., Cleveland, and Austin, Texas, to name a few − will see a total eclipse, in which the sun is completely obscured. Other locations will see a partial eclipse. Search for your ZIP code below or select a major city to reveal the time, duration, peak and percentage of the eclipse in your area.

What time is the eclipse? How long will it last? What will it look like?

Can't see our graphics? Click here to reload the page.

When is the eclipse?

On April 8 the moon will travel along the path of totality in North America starting in northern Mexico. The shadow of the moon will pass into Texas a little before 1:30 p.m. local time. It will then cover portions of the Midwest and East Coast and touch southeast Canada before it moves out to sea, according to NASA .

If you buy or are given eclipse glasses, be sure they are made by companies the  American Astronomical Society  and NASA have certified as safe. Eclipse glasses should all have the "ISO" (International Organization for Standardization) icon. The glasses also must have the  ISO reference number 12312-2 .

If you cannot find certified glasses, there are other ways to view the eclipse, including with a shadow box you can make yourself. Whatever you do, don't look at the sun without proper protection.

How to travel around the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore: A look at the traffic impact and alternate routes

By Rohan Mattu

Updated on: March 28, 2024 / 9:15 AM EDT / CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE -- The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday  led to a major traffic impact for the region and cut off a major artery into and out of the port city. 

A bridge column was hit by a large container ship around 1:30 a.m., sending bridge workers and vehicles into the Patapsco River. A water search for six missing workers turned to a recovery effort Tuesday night.

Drivers are told to prepare for extra commuting time until further notice.

Alternate routes after Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

Maryland transit authorities quickly put detours in place for those traveling through Dundalk or the Curtis Bay/Hawkins Point side of the bridge. The estimated 31,000 who travel the bridge every day will need to find a new route for the foreseeable future. 

The outer loop I-695 closure shifted to exit 1/Quarantine Road (past the Curtis Creek Drawbridge) to allow for enhanced local traffic access. 

The inner loop of I-695 remains closed at MD 157 (Peninsula Expressway). Additionally, the ramp from MD 157 to the inner loop of I-695 will be closed. 

Alternate routes are I-95 (Fort McHenry Tunnel) or I-895 (Baltimore Harbor Tunnel) for north/south routes. 

Commercial vehicles carrying materials that are prohibited in the tunnel crossings, including recreation vehicles carrying propane, should plan on using I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) between Essex and Glen Burnie. This will add significant driving time.   

10.jpg

Where is the Francis Scott Key Bridge? 

The Key Bridge crosses the Patapsco River, a key waterway that along with the Port of Baltimore serves as a hub for East Coast shipping. 

The bridge is the outermost of three toll crossings of Baltimore's Harbor and the final link in Interstate 695, known in the region as the Baltimore Beltway, which links Baltimore and Washington, D.C. 

The bridge was built after the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel reached capacity and experienced heavy congestion almost daily, according to the MDTA. 

Tractor-trailer inspections

Tractor-trailers that now have clearance to use the tunnels will need to be checked for hazardous materials, which are not permitted in tunnels, and that could further hold up traffic. 

The MDTA says vehicles carrying bottled propane gas over 10 pounds per container (maximum of 10 containers), bulk gasoline, explosives, significant amounts of radioactive materials, and other hazardous materials are prohibited from using the Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95) or the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895).  

Any vehicles transporting hazardous materials should use the western section of I-695 around the tunnels, officials said.

Where could Ohio traffic be bad during the solar eclipse? See the map from ODOT

sopron tourist map

If you travel for the solar eclipse next month, you may be stuck in traffic for a while.

Officials expect 150,000 to 575,000 visitors when the total solar eclipse casts its shadow over Ohio on April 8. The 124-mile-wide path of totality  will cross the state from southwest to northeast, briefly blanketing cities like Dayton, Mansfield, Akron and Cleveland in darkness. Cincinnati and Columbus are just south of totality.

The total eclipse will last only a few minutes, but some of the state's major highways could be jammed for hours as people head home.

To help emergency responders prepare − and give visitors a preview of what could happen − the Ohio Department of Transportation created an interactive online map forecasting traffic that day.

ODOT spokesman Matt Bruning said the numbers predict possible demand, not the number of vehicles on the road: "The maps were trying to highlight potential areas of concern for safety agencies − not necessarily 'where to avoid' for the public."

More: How Ohio is planning for traffic jams during the April solar eclipse

When will eclipse traffic be the worst in Ohio? Where?

ODOT mapped out potential scenarios based on the number of visitors to Ohio: 150,000, 350,000, 575,000 and 625,000. Consultants crunched the numbers using anonymized cellphone location data for a typical day in Ohio and travel patterns in Kentucky and Tennessee during the 2017 eclipse.

The April 8 eclipse will begin in southwest Ohio around 3:08 p.m. and last fewer than four minutes, with the exact time depending on your location.

Southwest and central Ohio may experience some gridlock that morning, and all four models show demand increasing in the hours before the eclipse. But the real snarls are expected once it's over. The heaviest traffic appears in the forecast late afternoon and doesn't appear to ease up for hours.

Bruning said ODOT expects the worst congestion in northwest Ohio around Toledo and Findlay, the closest viewing spot for eclipse tourists from Michigan. Other areas that could be busier than normal include Interstate 71 and Interstate 270 in the Columbus area, Interstate 75 from Dayton to Cincinnati and Interstate 77 between Akron and Canton.

You can view ODOT’s forecasting map at bit.ly/ODOTeclipsemap .

How can I prepare for eclipse traffic in Ohio?

The biggest piece of advice: Be patient. Motorists should also keep their gas tank full; pack a cellphone charger, water and snacks; and have a paper map on hand in case cell service is bad.

State officials also recommend eclipse-watchers stay put afterward, instead of hitting the road once it's over. To that end, Ohio's tourism arm  is promoting other activities in the path of totality, from museums and parks to restaurants and breweries.

Ohioans who live within totality are encouraged to watch the eclipse  at or near home.
