Bookmark & shareEveryone's hungry for a piece of Eger.
A beautifully preserved baroque town, Eger has a relaxed, Mediterranean feel. Flanked by two of the Northern Uplands' splendid hill ranges and home to the celebrated Egri Bikavér (Eger Bull's Blood) wine, there's no doubt Eger is worth that long daytrip from Budapest.
