Eger Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
city in Hungary
About Eger
Eger is mainly known for its castle, thermal baths, historic buildings (including the northernmost Turkish minaret) and, above all else, the best Hungarian red wines in the "Valley of the beautiful women". When you plan your trip, it looks like a small town for which half a day is more than enough, but 3 days may not even be enough to enjoy it fully, even in the winter. In 2017, it was home to 54,000 people. The majority of visitors come for a single day (mostly Slovakians), not staying overnight. Ukrainians and Russians frequent the castle, as do many Italians. Around the town you may also run into many German-speaking visitors.
