Visit Eger

Today on the way to my hometown, Debrecen www.debrecen.hu we stop by Eger, which is one of the loveliest little towns of North East Hungary. The town has an official website only in Hungarian language www.eger.hu but instead of it I suggest a better English one, which is the www.egeronline.com.

In Eger easy to spend a full day since the town is filled with historical sights like the Eger fortress (Egri vár), Archbishop Palace, Baroque Churches, synagogue and Gothic Palace, etc.

Ooops, I almost forget that Eger is famous about its red wine named "Bikavér" or "Bull Blood", which -I think- competes with the best Bordeaux wines. Be aware also that the towns has thermal spa, where wou can spend another day to relax.
