Orthodox Ecclesiastical Museum
A guide will escort you to the Orthodox Ecclesiastical Museum near the main gate. Look out for the Black Madonna of Kazan, presented to the church by Catherine the Great, and the jewel-encrusted Mt Athos Cross, brought to Miskolc by Greek settlers in the 18th century.

Avas Hill
Take a stroll up leafy Avas Hill; the best approach is via Mélyvölgy utca, off Papszer utca, or Földes Ferenc utca, off Mindszent tér. Veer to the right along the narrow lane past some of the more than 800 wine cellars cut into the limestone.
