Privat heldagstur til Eger - historie, kultur og vin
Beskrivelse
Eger er en smuk barok by beliggende i det nordlige Ungarn og kendt for sit slot, termiske bade, historiske bygninger (inklusive den nordligste tyrkiske minaret) og røde vine. Turen dækker en fantastisk gåtur i centrum, hvor du kan besøge den næststørste katedral i Ungarn. Der er 17 kirker i byen: f.eks. i barok eller i Zopf-stil. Eger borg er berømt for sit succesrige forsvar mod den osmanniske invasion i 1552. I dag er det et beskyttet historisk monument. Byen har en masse seværdigheder fra den tyrkiske æra, for eksempel den tyrkiske minaret og det tyrkiske bad. Byen og regionen er også berømt for sine vine. "Den smukke kvindes dal" er en del af Eger, der har adskillige vinkældre, og mange af dem serverer turister med deres egne vine.

Eger Slot er en middelalderlig fæstning i Eger, Ungarn. Historisk set er det kendt for at afvise det tyrkiske angreb i 1552 under belejringen af Eger. Under den mongolske invasion i 1241 flyttede biskoppen af Eger til en stenet bakke i byen Eger. På bakken blev der bygget et nyt slot, og det udviklede sig hurtigt. I 1552 angreb en osmannisk hær på 35.000-40.000 soldater slottet, som havde 2.100-2.300 forsvarere. Belejringen mislykkedes, da tyrkerne led store tab. I alt 1.700 af forsvarerne overlevede. Derefter belejrede tyrkere slottet igen i 1596, hvilket resulterede i en tyrkisk sejr. I 1701 eksploderede østrigerne halvdelen af slottet.
Det er minareten, der har overlevet i landets bedste stand. Tårnet er 40 meter højt og altanen, der kredser om terrassen, er 26 meter høj. Deroppe bliver pusten taget af udsigten, men det skyldes - udover det fantastiske panorama - også at have overvundet 97 høje trin i vindeltrappen for at komme op. Dem med bevægelseshandicap eller højdefobi vil måske minareten give gode minder, når de beundrer den snarere udefra, men dem, der kan lide udfordringer, er det virkelig værd at klatre op på altanen også!
Når man ankommer til pladsen, kan man se, at pladsen er fuld af liv, der maler menneskemængder: det er et populært socialt sted for unge, det er hvor små børn kan løbe rundt, cyklister og rulleskøjteløbere kan fordrive tiden med deres akrobatiske shows og også et populært mødested for elskere. Dobó-pladsen er virkelig levende om sommeren, på dette tidspunkt kan du fornemme en slags middelhavsatmosfære. I fokus på pladsen kan man finde et monument dedikeret til en meget afgørende historisk begivenhed i Eger. Mens du går, kan du tage plads, beundre skønheden i barokarkitekturen.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle eller mere formelt Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, St. Michael og den ubesmittede undfangelse også kaldet Eger Cathedral er en religiøs bygning tilknyttet den katolske kirke, der fungerer som lacatedral for ærkebispedømmet Eger, som ligger i Eger. Katedralen blev bygget i det 19. århundrede af József Hild på bestilling af ærkebiskop János László Pyrker.
Eger er berømt for sine lækre vine og historiske vinregion. Det er mindre kendt, at den berømte vinavl i Eger blev etableret af italienske og Vallon-bosættere i 1200-tallet, så vinen har næsten hele tiden været til stede i Eger, og nu til dags er det bedre at sige, at man kan finde fremragende vine i Eger. Det mest populære sted for vinsmagning er Szépasszony-dalen (Den smukke kvindes dal).
Det berømte termiske feriested Egerszalók ligger kun få minutters kørsel fra Eger. Vi besøger den spektakulære "Salt Hill og vandterrasser". De er naturligt bygget af to termiske fjedre.

We had a wonderful time on our guided tour to Eger. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and punctual throughout the trip. The whole experience felt well-organized and personal — a true white-glove experience. Eger itself is a great destination, and having such a capable guide made it even better. Highly recommend. 5 stars.
Our guide Gergely was great! We were able to customize our trip (visit Gödöllő palace), never felt rushed and still were able to hit all the highlights of the planned tour.
Eger was a charming town with an interesting castle. We ate lunch at a wonderful restaurant recommended by our guide and had a little time to explore the town and get coffee afterward. The wine cellars were fun to explore as well but our focus was Eger. Our guide was very knowledgeable in the history of Hungary and enjoyable to ride with. Would highly recommend this tour!
We were traveling to Eger to see the area where my grandfather lived before emigrating to the United States in 1905. Gergely was very helpful in locating archival photographs of Eger from the early 1900s and provided a detailed history that helped us understand the social and cultural context of that time. Everything about this tour was first rate from beginning to end.
We enjoyed touring the castle and the town of Eger. Gergely is an exceptionally knowledgeable guide and he gave us a very thorough explanation of the history of the area, and he recommended a nice restaurant in town for lunch. After lunch we saw the wine country and visited the area where many cellars are offering wine tastings. He asked us how many wines we wanted to try and what kinds we liked, and he made good recommendations. Lastly, he took us to see a natural hot spring that was being captured and routed to pools where people could bathe (although we did not have enough time to soak on just a day trip). Everyone in Hungary visits this area at one time or another because of its historical importance of the castle. If you have Hungarian roots, or if you’ve been to Budapest before and want to do something different and see more of the countryside, I highly recommend this tour with Gergely. However, you should bear in mind that it is nearly two hours driving each way from Budapest, and if it is your first visit to the area or if you are not deeply interested in Hungarian history, your time would probably be best spent on other tours. The town is interesting but I would not call it a “must see,” and there are certainly good wine cellars for tastings that are closer to Budapest. All in all, we had a very good day and Gergely was an excellent guide, but we might have preferred to spend our day closer to Budapest.
We had emailed Gergely to ask for a more wine focused day in Eger and we were more than delighted with the itinerary. The information on the drive out of Budapest was really interesting as was the drive to Eger. On arrival we explored the Eger Castle then went to visit some wineries - all of which were amazing. We visited some wonderful cellars and met owners. The day was full from the 8:30am start to arriving back around 7pm. Gergely is wonderfully friendly and really knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Gergely was such a wonderful tour guide. My partner and I went on this tour in mid-June and highly recommend it. Visiting the castle in Eger was super cool and Gergely was super knowledgeable about the history of not only the castle but also the whole village. He did a fantastic job of taking us around and making sure the tour was not only informative but also very entertaining and enjoyable. He allowed us many chances to tailor the tour to our liking. Visiting the valley of the beautiful women was also a highlight and again Gergely gave us the chance to choose what we'd like to do in terms of the wine tastings, and also proved to be a very helpful translator when needed. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Gergely did an absolutely amazing job touring Eger! He picked us up at our hotel in Budapest. He was prompt and the car was immaculate and extremely comfortable. While we drove to Eger, he took the time to explain Budapest a bit to us and then gave us some history on Hungary as well. He properly set expectations for us in Eger and was a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend anyone to do a tour with Gergely as he was extremely friendly and offered recommendations as a local. Thank you for such a great day!
I experienced a great tour with Gergely. He picked me up from my hotel on time. We drove to the town of Eger in eastern Hungary by a nice, comfortable car. We visited the medieval castle and the beautiful old town with the basilica, followed by a great wine tasting. Gergely is a tour guide with a very good knowledge of history, but we also had great conversations on current topics such as economics and politics. I recommend his services to everyone who really wants to get a great overview of Hungary in a short time.
