Hungary Travels: Eger | Historic Castle Town and Good Wine 🇭🇺

During your Hungary Travels, a historic town to visit is Eger, a town with a Castle, a cute inner town and some excellent local Wine! If you are looking for a day-trip away from Budapest this could be one!

Eger is 2 hours away from Budapest by train, or about an hour and a half with car. This historic town was formed inn the 10th century and became an important religious center, known for it's narrow cute alleys and the Castle which held back the Turkish Army during the Ottoman Empires conquest!

Eger is surrounded by many hills ideal to grow grapes for wine. The local Bikavér red cuvee can be interesting for wine enthusiasts, but there is also some excellent Pinot Noir as well. For those who enjoy white wines you have many options too, like the local cuvee known as Egri Csillag (Star of Eger), also some Rieslings or Chardonnays.

Eger is also a nice Area for those who want to go Hiking. Nature is close and there are many nice villages in the area to use as starting places for Hikes, since the Bükk National Park is right here!

Another Charming Little town in the Hungarian Countryside is Kőszeg. Also full of history and interesting stories:
