Eger Walking Tour

Eger, Hungary

Why Walk Eger

Eger's hilltop castle, where Hungarian defenders famously resisted an Ottoman siege in 1552, overlooks a compact old town of baroque churches, minarets, and thermal baths. The Valley of Beautiful Women (Szekesvolgy) outside town is a horseshoe-shaped valley of wine cellars where visitors taste Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood) and other local wines. A 40-meter Ottoman minaret — the northernmost in Europe — survives from 91 years of Ottoman rule.
