The museum of Eger castle is Hungary’s most visited museum. All schoolchildren have been here at least on a school outing or imagined themselves as one of the heroes of the novel Eclipse of the Crescent Moon (Egri Csillagok) with its symbolic message for Hungarians. It is a destination that you can never tire of, for there is everything here: exceptional architecture, history, wine districts, Eger Bull’s Blood, a Protected Designation of Origin wine, a huge basilica, underground casemates and a network of cellars, hot springs and baths with a unique water composition, a national park for walking or cycling, streams full of trout, waterfalls, a Lipizzaner stud-farm, theatre and so on. Eger is a destination for outings you never get bored with and now it is also a conference town with modern hotels and meeting halls.

Visitors are admitted to the beautifully renovated fort standing in the inner town. Besides relics of the Turkish era (the northernmost minaret of the Ottoman Empire is here), the most beautiful buildings date from the baroque age and there are many historic monuments.
