Full description
Spend the day in the picturesque town of Eger, the 2nd largest city in northern Hungary, and best known for its castle, thermal baths, Turkish minaret and baroque buildings. Flanked by the Bükk Hills of the Northern Uplands, it is also where the rich Bull’s Blood wine of Egri Bikavér is produced. During the tour, you will visit the 19th-century neoclassical Cathedral and facing Lyceum, with its 20,000 volume library and famous Specula and Planetary Museum. See the baroque Minorite Church and intricate wrought iron gate of Fazola at County Hall. Go to Eger Castle, built in the 13th century after the Mongol invasion, and located at the top of the cobblestone streets of Dózsa György tér. Your tour includes entrance to the castle, where you can see historic statues and paintings. After optional lunch and a wine tasting in the valley of Szépasszony-völgy, continue to Egerszalók at the foothills of the Bükk. Relax at one of the best spas in town, where 2 thermal springs emerge as geysers near the settlement border. The medicinal water is highly sought for the treatment of circulatory and muscular ailments, such as arteriosclerosis, rheumatic disease, bile, and stomach problems.

Our trip to Eger with wine tasting was excellent. We took a drive to the pretty village of Eger and explored the village and castle. After exploring we were taken for some wine tasting at Nimrod Kovak winery. We tasted 5-6 wines which were all outstanding. We were greeted warmly by the sommelier of the winery who was very informative and happy to ask all of our questions. Lastly we visited a spa in the nearby village of Egerszalok and took a relaxing dip in the thermal pools. Our guide Tom was very friendly and informative. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an exceptional day trip. Thank you Tom for making sure we had such a memorable trip.
