Description: Eger is one of the most beautiful baroque towns in Hungary. It is the home of the famous and delisicious Egri Bikavér /Eger Bull's Blood/ wine. Beside the excellent red and white wine Eger is known as the place where István Dobó and his small troop in 1552 resisted the Turkish Army for more than a month.”The Stars of Eger” written by Géza Gárdonyi is about the town of patriotism.
The best overview of the city can be had by climbing up to the castle. A short distance to the west of the castle stands the 14-sided, 34-metre-tall minaret. The second largest church in Hungary is the Archbishop's Cathedral and it has the country biggest organ. For wine tasting visit the cellars at the horseshoe-shaped Szépasszony völgy./Valley of the Beautiful Women./ |
