Introducing Eger
Everyone loves Eger, and it's immediately apparent why: the beautifully preserved bar- oque architecture gives the town a relaxed, almost Mediterranean, feel; it is the home of the celebrated Egri Bikavér (Eger Bull's Blood) wine known the world over; and it is flanked by two of the Northern Uplands most inviting ranges. But these aren't the only reasons Hungarians visit Eger: it was here that their forebears fended off the Turks for the first time during the 170 years of occupation in 1552.
