Eger

Eger has served as an episcopal centre in northern Hungary since the early 11th century. Set on the Eger Stream below the Bükk Mountains, the city is known for its compact Baroque centre, thermal baths and deeply rooted wine culture. Eger Castle recalls the 1552 siege, when its defenders repelled an Ottoman assault; the nearby Ottoman minaret is among the northernmost surviving monuments of its kind in Europe. Local cellars pour Egri Bikavér, the region’s celebrated red blend, while the Valley of the Beautiful Woman gathers many of them in one district.
