El Castillo de Eger es una fortaleza medieval en Eger, Hungría. Históricamente, es conocido por repeler el ataque turco en 1552 durante el Sitio de Eger. Durante la invasión de los mongoles en 1241, el obispo de Eger se mudó a una colina rocosa en la ciudad de Eger. En la colina se construyó un nuevo castillo y se desarrolló rápidamente. En 1552, un ejército otomano de 35.000-40.000 soldados atacó el castillo que tenía 2.100-2.300 defensores. El asedio fracasó ya que los turcos sufrieron numerosas bajas. Un total de 1.700 de los defensores sobrevivieron. Después de eso, los turcos volvieron a asediar el castillo en 1596, lo que resultó en una victoria turca. En 1701 los austriacos explotaron la mitad del castillo.
Es el minarete que ha sobrevivido en las mejores condiciones del país. La torre tiene 40 metros de altura y el balcón que rodea la terraza tiene 26 metros de altura. Allí arriba, la vista te dejará sin aliento, sin embargo, también se debe, además del fantástico panorama, a haber superado los 97 escalones de la escalera de caracol para subir. Aquellos que tienen problemas de movimiento o fobia a las alturas, quizás el minarete les de buenos recuerdos admirándolo desde afuera, pero aquellos a los que les gustan los desafíos, ¡realmente vale la pena subir al balcón también!
Al llegar a la plaza se puede ver que la plaza está llena de vida, aglomerando multitudes: es un lugar social popular de los jóvenes, es donde los niños pequeños pueden correr, ciclistas y patinadores pueden pasar el tiempo con sus espectáculos acrobáticos y también un popular punto de encuentro de los enamorados. La plaza Dobó es realmente animada en verano, en este momento se puede sentir una especie de atmósfera mediterránea. En el centro de la plaza se puede encontrar un monumento dedicado a un evento histórico muy determinante de Eger. Mientras camina puede tomar asiento, admirar la belleza de la arquitectura barroca.
La Catedral Basílica de San Juan Apóstol o más formalmente Catedral Metropolitana Basílica de San Juan Apóstol y Evangelista, San Miguel y la Inmaculada Concepción también llamada Catedral de Eger es un edificio religioso afiliado a la Iglesia Católica que funciona como lacatedral de la Arquidiócesis de Eger, se encuentra en la ciudad de Eger. La catedral fue construida en el siglo XIX por József Hild por encargo del arzobispo János László Pyrker.
Eger es famosa por sus deliciosos vinos y su histórica región vinícola. Es menos conocido que la famosa vinicultura de Eger fue establecida por colonos italianos y de Vallon en el año 1200, por lo que el vino ha estado presente casi todo el tiempo en Eger, y hoy en día es mejor decir que se pueden encontrar excelentes vinos en Eger. El lugar más popular para degustar vino es Szépasszony-valley (Valle de la Bella Mujer).
El famoso complejo termal Egerszalók está a solo unos minutos en coche de Eger. Visitamos el espectacular "Salt Hill and Water Terraces". Están construidos naturalmente por dos fuentes termales.

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.
