The castle is so nice with memorable mark in the battle with Ottoman. The lady in the ticket office is super nice. Highly recommend to visit because of beautiful landscape and historical lesson about Hungary.

The historical site was very engaging and fascinating , but we found it to be quite expensive. The family discount didn't help much, and we had to pay extra for some activities that weren't included in the ticket price.

Very nice place with great view on the town below. Lot of space, not many people. Nicely repaired, with many historical artefacts. Free, clean toilets. Reasonable entry fee. 2 hours to spend easy.

Practicaly it is the heart of the town, the main attraction, a true and viral lesson of history. Make sure you have plenty of time to wonder around and explore every corner and read every information. There are a lot of exhibitions, interactiv panels for smaller kids to enjoy.

The Eger Castle is a very nice place to visit, the castle is very big and most part are in great condition. There is a lot of history there which the Hungarian people can be very proud of. I can recommended to very one who loves castles and their history.

Eger Castle was so beautiful and the scenery from the top was gorgeous. There is alot of history to be seen here and great photography opportunities. There were alot of signs in English which was useful. I will say if you are unable to walk up steps or at an incline it may be difficult for some with accessibility issues. There was a lady at the counter who was a little unfriendly which was a shame but the lady in the gift shop was nice.

It was a lovely place to explore. We spent a couple of hours there. The admission fee is quite high, though.

Impressive inside and outside as well. It’s worth a visit.

Beautiful building inside and outside. Magnificent. The peace inside is remarkable. The colours, glasses,statues … I felt this place is so unique. I could spend the for hours! Free to visit. With support it is available for all disabilities. I’m not sure about toilets. I’m sure I a going to visit again once in the future! Don’t miss this out!

Stunning is an understatement!! My jaw dropped and I quickly said to my wife this place makes the bus ride From Budapest worth it! I would add that my iPhone Can not do this place justice! U would have liked to hear the organ being played.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle or more formally Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, St. Michael and the Immaculate Conception also called Eger CathedralThe Basilica of St. John (Greek: Βασιλική του Αγίου Ιωάννη του Θεολόγου) was a basilica in Ephesus. It was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century at a site where John the Apostle was said to have been buried. It was modeled after the now-demolished Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.Although Haitian and French immigrants established the Congregation de Saint Jean-Baptiste in the late 1700s, the cornerstone for the present Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was laid on November 19, 1873 by the Right Reverend Ignatius Persico.

New renovated Cathedra,l Amazing!!! Orgona amazing sound!!! Very welcoming!!! Young Preast, very helpful, intelligent advices!!! Amazing Mass!!!! Amazing experience!!!

The Basilica in Eger is a stunning piece of architecture that boasts of a fascinating history and cultural significance. With its towering size and intricate details, it's a must-visit destination for anyone who loves art and history. Stepping inside its grand interiors is an experience that will definitely astonish you. The scale of the basilica is enough to inspire a sense of reverence and wonder. Visiting the Basilica in Eger is an enriching experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who appreciates the beauty of great architecture. Currently is being renovated.

It is a lovely area of the town, there are plenty of benches in the park nearby, great place to sit and watch the world go by. the staff at the Basilica visitor centre were very knowledgeable and helpful, they made us feel very welcome. Unless you need a guided tour, you don't need to book in advance.

Beautiful square with a lovely historic vibe. Lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from, and everything is very well kept. Nice place to just relax and people watch.

What a nice place to sit and eat lunch. The views are fantastic. I wish there was more signage to explain everything we were looking at. Don’t miss out on Eger!

Beautiful square. Lots of stores and restaurants. A good place to buy some nice souvenirs. The castle is also close to it. If you are visiting Eger then this place is a must see category.

Nice places in the downtown of Eger. Plenty of restaurants around the square. On August 2021 we enjoyed Eger wine festival. I'm impressed, next day after festival Square were clear. No plastic cups,broken glasses,empty wine bottles. Well done Eger.

A very pleasant square with a relaxed vibe and fun fountain. Don't miss the bronze model of the square at the northwest corner.

It's a very important historian place of Eger in Hungary. The Turkish army tried to attack Eger in the 16th century. Eger is also an important center of the Catholic religion. We call it, the city of monks.

Love the place. You can sit there at the many cafes and restaurants around the square, and watch people around you and enjoy quietness away from big cities.

A fascinating piece of history, many people gathered here on a weekend visit. The stairs are challenging to climb as they are very steep and slippery stone stairs and the tower has limited light and air sources.

I loved this climb, but if you are claustrophobic you might give it a pass. The views from the top are worth the 98 steps and the 1000Huf.

Mamma Mia! I thought that it could be fun to hike up to the top of this minaret. I had mixed feelings about as clearly you can see how narrow is them stairs leading to the top. We had about 10-15 minutes wait. The spiral stair are very steep (30 cm at least) and getting smaller and smaller the space as you nearing the top. Once you’re up, another scare stuff awaiting you the waist height handrails. I honestly almost got a heart attack. People was behind me so there’s no stop. I had a full walk around before started my journey down. Good fun, fantastic views on the top, however I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who has fear of heights and claustrophobic. As a bucket list it was a great fun, takes about 15 minutes for the whole experience.

The only minaret in the world with a cross on top. According to legend, after the end of the Turkish occupation, the oppressed Hungarians wanted to tear down the 40-meter-high building, but even 400 oxen could not pull it down. After the failure, the building was left standing, but a cross was placed on the top above the star and crescent. 97 thick steps lead to its terrace, which can still be visited today. worth visiting if you are in town. Payment only in cash, 1000 Huf / person. The view is stunning from up there.

Breathtaking view (and steps). You can see very well the town and the Keep. Makes you wonder how many have climbed these narrow spiral steps.

A nice place well worth a visit, but think twice before you climb the tower – the staircase is extremely narrow and may be claustrophobic or inaccessible for some visitors.

Great experience, very narrow and high steps. Don't go up straight after a hearty meal.

The location is great, outskirts of Eger - great place for a n after- sightseeing trip. Easy access by car, if you visit there on time you can find car parks. Restaurants, souvenir shops all over and of course at least 48 (I counted 48) private wine cellars. Different makers, different strength and quality. For some reason most of the places’ language is Polish. The only 3 starts (only - it is a massive average rates) are gorge communications in each wineries, the offers, the interior design and of course some extra activities, too. Some places had live music - folklore. Great place to hang out with mates, stag,- and hen parties. Little park facing the wineries what is great for kids.

Must visit if you are in Eger and like wines. There are many cellars to visit, indoor & outdoor areas, you can try different local wines (wide collection), have some snacks, buy wine home with good prices, eat at restaurants, listen some live music etc. About 25min by foot from main square, also possible to take shuttles there, taxi about 2000-3500 forints (about 5-8,50€) depends which part of city we took it or in the night back home.

I wish I enjoyed wine but I don’t. I tried some wine but meh for me. If you like to do wine tasting then this will be great for you. No one we met was doing a forceful in your face selling job so no pressure. Go when you have lots of energy because there are Many places to sample wines. There are restaurants there too. Was it touristy? Yes

Not far from Eger town - an easy 20 minute walk, and you arrive to this area with so many wine cellars. They don’t offer traditional tastings, but all cellars instead sell wine by the 100ml glass, for around 500HUF, so it is very affordable and great to wander, tasting whatever wines sound good. Almost all of the wine is produced in the nearby region, and is really high quality (even with such a low price!) A really nice place to visit for an afternoon.

You must visit it, you can try a lot of different taste vine, and you can buy it aswell. From Eger you can travel there with a small train

What a beautiful place! For rest for walk for drink fabulous wine!

A small, beautiful valley filled with some excellent wine cellars. Also, as an American the prices are extremely affordable - the price for a glass of wine can be less than $2.

Had the wild boar soup for appetizer and beef cheek for entree with four islands for desert. The soup had lots of pork and it taste was excellent. The beef cheek was tender and the potato mousse was heavenly. Service was good and ambience great. Would come again if ever I come back to Eger from Singapore. Macok deserves every Michelin star it received.

Couldn't find any fault for this restaurant. Worth the visit. Well deserved Michelin status. The food was well-cooked, presented and tasted better. The portion were also generous. I thought the food in Budapest was good, This was better.

The restaurant is located 3 min from the heart of the old Town close to the castle. It requires The reservation. Both food and wine were perfect. The duck my husband ordered was tender and delicate with amazing sauce and puree. The local cheese I took was also delicious, especialy beetroot and plump skład that accompanied it. However, we expected more from the staff- The waiters were kind but their english wasn't very comunicative and they were quite reserved especially when they saw we were with a little kid.

The restaurant is really a hidden gem of Eger. If u are looking for a high quality meal - this is your place. Interior is cozy, modern and welcoming. Menu is versatile. The food was very good with sophisticated plating, however I wouldn’t say it was a wow for me. I ordered venison and it was really lacking seasoning. Duck breast was good, nice crust on the skin and medium in the middle. It would score 4.5 from. However service have let the place down a bit. The waiter that was serving us looked like our arrival have shuttered his peace :) he perked up a bit towards the end, but still

Macok Bistro in Eger was simply perfect! The service was outstandingly friendly and attentive, with great attention to every detail. The food was fantastic – we had ravioli, cottage cheese dumplings, and crispy pork knuckle, all absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. A truly great dining experience – highly recommended to anyone visiting Eger!

Great food, nice service, very cute patio with a great atmosphere. We were super happy with our food, they were perfectly balanced in flavor, fresh and very nicely plated. I have known the place forever, but this was the first time we managed to visit it. I’m sure that not the last one. 😊

We booked a table for lunch and enjoyed a great meal that included an appetizer, soup, two main dishes, two desserts, and a few glasses of wine. The food was excellent, and the flavors were impressive. However, our experience was marred by a few notable issues. The service was quite slow, which was surprising given that the restaurant wasn't busy and it's a bistro where you'd expect a quicker pace. We also encountered a cracked glass and a rotten grape, which was a disappointment. Overall, while the food was great, the service and a lack of attention to detail kept our experience from being truly exceptional.

This may be the best pizza in town but only in Eger. The tomato sauce on my Parma pizza was way too sweet. And they give enormous pizzas you likely not be able to finish. Plastic cover and plastic flowers on the tables. Service is great, however.

The pizza is fabulous. Thin and crispy dough. Excellent salad as well. Only a couple of beer choices with none on draft but when in wine Centro it makes sense to defer to vino. Small wine list but all great local choices. Not the greatest ambience but with the top shelf food and service Il Padrino is a mandatory dining venue for even the shortest of Eger visits.

Definitely the best Italian restaurant in the whole Eger. It is a bit out of the main touristic area but it is a hidden gem! The pizza is awesome, absolutely delicious (I ordered the Parmiggiano pizza and my partner the Parma one - both extremely enjoyable). Service is very good and quick. 100% recommended!

Yummy pizza & good Rosé. Cute little place with delicious pizza. Nice staff, friendly and speaking English. Thank you for lovely evening

The pizza was good, 8/10, but the service/waitress was terrible. We ordered takeout, sat at a table, and were then told to leave because people who wanted to eat inside arrived, and we had to wait for our pizzas standing on the street. We're tourists, and the people who came were Hungarians, so it was a bit racist.

Pizzas are delicious; the place is cozy.

Very tasty, thin crust pizza with various toppings and loots of cheese ;) The service is fast and they're very polite. They don't take card unfortunately. P.S. We spent 3 days in Eger, we ate here twice.

Opened in 1988, HBH is a beloved establishment in Eger. The menu is inspired by the hearty cuisine of Bavaria – soup-forward, meat-forward, beer-forward – so the place is especially enjoyable in the cold winter months. Hungarian classics are also aplenty and while it’s right on Eger’s main square, the prices are super affordable and portions are large! It’s an amazing value! On a super cold winter evening, I had the wild boar soup and pork medallions wrapped in bacon (comes with potato doughnuts and paprika ewe cheese sauce). It was the hearty and delicious dinner I needed to warm up and subsequently go into a food coma/nightly hibernation! Swing by for a visit! You won’t regret it!

Food was very tasty, reasonably priced. We were served quickly and stuff was friendly. Definitely would recommend going there.

We returned here after many years and we happily noticed that quality is still the same. They have their own beer, which is fantastic (and very reasonably priced). Food is great, service is professional.

Very tasty food, nice place, friendly staff, although slightly aloof. Food very well composed in taste and nicely served. Very good value for money. If you want to eat tasty food, this place is worth a visit. While in Eger, I will certainly return to this restaurant.

the restaurant was incredible, the prices for the amount of food and it's quality were surprisingly low, I had the venison and my friends had a chicken and a boar - suuuuuuuper nice

The food was absolutely delicious, and the cooking was excellent. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. I can honestly say this was one of the best restaurants I’ve tried in Hungary, and I truly enjoyed both the food and the quality. The waiter was very kind and friendly, which made the experience even better. If I travel to Eger again, this restaurant will definitely be my choice once more!

Seafood pasta was very tasty, pizza on other hand was okay. Tiramisu is 10/10. Restaurant located in city center and has very nice view on the square. Waiters are too busy

Yo, that pork dish you made was straight-up fire! Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor—those spices hit all the right spots. The way it was cooked, it practically melted in my mouth. You nailed the balance, not too heavy but still super satisfying. Gotta say, it’s one of the best I’ve had in a minute. Keep slinging those culinary vibes, chef!

Amazing! We over heard other tourists sitting nearby about an excellent restaurant in the citadel and we’re glad we discovered it! The ambiance is exquisite. Photos don’t do it justice. The decor along with the choice of music is both enticing and relaxing. We were fortunate that we, with the exception of 3 ladies sitting in a corner, were the only ones there. We were warmly greeted and seated by a window as requested. The menu has something for every palate. Not only were the portions satisfying but the quality of our meal was outstanding in both presentation and flavour. The sour cherry beer is a must have. Dining here was a memorable experience indeed. The only drawback is having to pay the entrance fee to the castle each time you go there even if you don’t want to visit the grounds. Which by the way are mostly closed for renovations. So it’s a 7500 ft for two surcharge to the cost of the meal. But with that said, we strongly recommend pushing pass this and indulge yourself to eat at what we think is Eger’s best place to dine. This restaurant accentuates and is infused with the charm of Eger.

We had pork knuckle and turkish-hungarian taster. As a starter, it was a huge dish for one person. The knuckle was soft and delicious. The prices are the same as outside lf the castle, very much worth it. I’d recommend it!

The most outstanding gastronomic experience for a while. We tried Hortobágy pancakes as appetizer, duck-duo and game meat stew as main dish and also some dessert. Everything was delicious and the service was also fine despite of the temporary shortage of drink selection.

Beautiful location in the castle on the hill…. Great views of the city from castle hill. Good was excellent and service outstanding! The Father’s chicken stew and watermelon soup ( the soup was a special) were both outstanding! Only my wife’s brownie was disappointing. Prices reasonable. Lovely redone interior. very peaceful restaurant!

My trout dish was good; the chicken was even better. I was not really happy with the appetiser ; I found a big bone on my pâté. And I really haben touched the liver as well bcz of the big fat layer fat on it, The staffs were really nice and caring; The place is better for families who can let the kids play outside; a bit noisy for me.

Delicious dinner, I haven't had such good dishes for a long time! We recommend pork in mustard and sour cherry beer, which is perfect for a warm day. The service and atmosphere is very nice.

Bun is a bread with hole in center, and the soup is in the cavity, normal taste. Pancake is good, they provide with many different fruits as stuffing，guests can choose what they want. The size is bigger than expected. They answered my question. Location is very good!

The vanilla pancake was good not very sweet, however, the broccoli pancake was too salty. The drinks were okay, garlic soup was good. Service was extremely slow pancakes were only served after more than 30 minutes the fact that it wasn't busy at all.

Recommend this restaurant! The place is a bit eccentric but that's why it's fun. Food is uniquely Hungarian and quite good although it should have been served hot rather than "somewhat warm." Still it was good. The waiters were polite and gave good service. I don't speak much Hungarian so I offered English, German or French. They chose English and spoke it quite well.

The pancakes were tasty, well presented. Modern decor with seemingly unrelated things meshed together, but it somehow works. The service was also pretty good.

Good quality for money, this is for the hungry! Good taste, we prefered the "food" pancakes over the dessert pancakes(very sweet). The popeye was the family favorite.

The pancakes tasted good and the portions were reasonable to large. I had never eaten pancakes like these before, but I wasn't particularly impressed. What surprised me, and something I had never encountered before, was when I asked the waitress if I could pay the tip by card and she replied, "Yes, I've already added it to your bill." I looked at the bill and it really did include a 10% tip. I would have given a similar tip myself, but I was surprised that they added it without asking. Tipping is voluntary, not mandatory!

One of my favourite places in Eger, the fact that I love pancakes might play a role in this. Great selection of sweet and salty big sized pancakes, staff is nice and friendly, the place can get packed, but the service was always on the quicker side of things. I recommend sharing a salty and and a sweet pancake so I get to experience both worlds. If you like pancakes, you must visit this place, and we all know that you like pancakes..
