Eger Essentials

Eger is defined by its medieval history and viticulture. The city’s core features the 16th-century Ottoman minaret, the neoclassical Basilica, and the Baroque Archbishop’s Palace. At its heart lies the castle, famous for the 1552 siege, with its extensive underground casemates. Beyond the historic center, visitors can explore the thermal baths or visit the Valley of the Beautiful Woman, a collection of wine cellars carved into volcanic rock known for the regional Bull’s Blood wine.
