Miskolc features a unique combination of natural thermal springs and medieval history. The city is home to the Miskolctapolca Cave Bath, set within natural limestone caverns, and the reconstructed Castle of Diósgyőr. In the Lillafüred resort area, visitors find Hungary's highest vertical waterfall alongside the Anna and István limestone caves. The urban center holds the National Theatre—Hungary’s oldest—and the Greek Orthodox Church, which houses Central Europe’s largest iconostasis, while the Avas Hill provides panoramic views from its 72-metre TV tower.
