In your free time, you can visit the 1000-year old city of Eger. With its heroic past, rich monuments, famous wines and thermal baths, it is one of the most famous towns in Hungary. Eger is usually considered to be a historic town, yet it is also noted for its splendid Baroque architecture, wine, thermal and medicinal waters and lively student population. It is most famous for its castle, cathedral, red wine, Baroque palaces and Turkish remains, including the northernmost minaret in Europe. Eger was built around a former cathedral, founded in the 10th century by the first Hungarian king, St. Stephen. The city flourished during the middle Ages when winemaking became the main source of income. During the 18th and 19th centuries several beautiful buildings were built in Baroque and Neo-Classicist styles. The historic buildings of Eger make the city an architectural gem.

Eger is also a well-known wine region. It produces the famous ‘Bull’s Blood of Eger’ (Egri Bikavér), which has long been Hungary's most recognized red wine. It's a blend that has varied over the years, although it is originally based on the Kékfrankos grape. The famous white wines of the region are based on local varieties, like Egri Leányka, Olaszrizling and Debrői Hárslevelű. Our guests can witness the unique cellar which is part of a, more than 140 km long, wine cellar system that extends under the whole town of Eger.
