Diósgyőr Castle looks stunning and majestic even from the outside. Unfortunately, it's not possible to go inside at the moment due to ongoing renovations. Still, I believe once it's fully restored, it will be an absolute gem!

This is one of the best historical place especially in Miskolc. The facilities are really great even for people having disabilities can enter to the castle. At some times, there are theatrical and historical attraction. The information of castle history given in touch screen in various languages. Tourists from all over the world are really recommended to visit this place.

The catle with its expositions are in very good conditions offering a lot of facts and subjects well organized in rooms which are every of them focusing on some specific part of activity. Nice peace of history. Very professional staff. Highly recommend.

If you're in the Miskolc area this is definitely worth a visit. It's one of the nicest castles I've seen in Hungary; this medieval castle was a favourite holiday residence of Hungarian kings and queens. The castle was renovated between April 2012 and 2014 and instead of a historic castle ruin, visitors can now visit an old, remodeled castle. The castle features a special feature of informal cognition; the visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval castle freely, trying all of the things. In addition to the interactive content, reenactors dressed in timeless outfits, as well as spaces on the ground floor that showcase everyday life, contribute to the atmosphere. As a quick reference for the origin of the name: Dió means walnut, referring to the abundant walnut trees in the area. Győr is an archaic version of the word gyűrű, meaning "ring". It probably refers to the rounded shape of the first castle erected on the hill. The first castle was probably built in the 12th century, but destroyed during the Mongol invasion. The castle that stands today was most likely erected in the times of King Béla IV, in the 13th century. The castle had its prime during the reign of Louis I (Louis the Great). In 1364 the nearby town Miskolc was annexed to the Diósgyőr estate. Diósgyőr lost some of its importance when the political union between Hungary and Poland ended. In 1596, the Ottomans occupied the area; Diósgyőr remained under Turkish occupation, ruled by the Pasha of Eger until 1687, when this part of the country was freed from Turkish rule. By this time the castle lost all of its military importance.

We visited during a reenactment, and it was a blast. The schedule we found of events was not followed that I could tell, and with the children under four, that can be a challenge. The food was terrific and the events were fun. The area where the held most events were too crowded. Nevertheless we had fun, as we said saw knights and the various displays in the castle. The stairs up to the towers were treacherous...haha, but the view was worth it (carrying kids up the tower was not).

Modern renovations, looks medieval and also modern and stable. The inside rooms are brilliant and from the rooftop all the city is visible. Interactive screens with diverse games inside, including a photography maker machine that sends you a postcard with your personal photo on e-mail on the spot. Worth the ticket!

Hello travelers! A nice place for spending some relaxing time! You can find access for people with disabilities and some parking place close to the entrance! Also a nice view! Enjoy 😉

Large zoo. A bit old infrastructure. Some of the animals seemed neglected (one of daniels with an open head wound). Neglected, pothole-ridden access road. I recommend buying a Miskolc pass which gives you possibility of entrance to additional attractions around.

We went here yesterday and it is a lovely zoo! There are wonderful long walks through the woods to enjoy. It is a perfect family day out and I would highly recommend going!

We visited this nice small ZOO on 5.6.2024. That day (wednesday) the ZOO was almost empty, so we could enjoy our special moments with the animals. Most of the animals are used to people and they come very close to you. It is very tempting to touch them (Please, do not do it!) :-) You can see there parrots, lamas, farm animals, but also monkeys, meerkats, bears, jaguars, tigers, lions and more! There is a small shop with ice cream etc. The old man serving people there could speak English and even some Czech words. It was very nice. It is true that the area needs more financial support but it's still worth spending free time there... so I hope you will visit this ZOO after reading my review and support them. :-) If you are accommodated in Miskolctapolca, take bus 20 / 20A, get off the bus in the center and take the tram 1V and get off at the last station Felsö Majláth. From there you can take ZOO bus but be sure to check the timetable because it is not a regular bus. We walked up the hill to the ZOO from the station and then back. It was a nice (cca 40-minute) walk on the outskirts of Miskolc. We bought 24-hour Miskolc pass tourist card (2x 7990 HUF) which includes ZOO entry and public transport (and many more free services and discounts).

The park is nice and big but there's some enclosures that seem to be way too small for the animals crowded inside them while others are empty.

Very nice zoo! Lots of animals. But there were animals that had a cage way too small. Please, get a bigger bird cage. We were alone, which is both sad and happy. Because I want to gatekeep this place but I also want the animals to have nicer cages

Nice clean place enjoyable environment. Easy guide through the map. Wide range of animals kept clean and looked healthy I was happy to see that. There is some new additions since my last visit I will always return. Staff polite and friendly. You can buy animal food at the entrance in the gift shop. 😊

Well, it was the first time going to the zoo (I know 😔). I was there for about an hour and some minutes. The walk up? Beautiful and took about 15 minutes from the trolley stop. I don't know how much you guys pay cause I had bought the Miskolc tourist pass/card thingie. I don't know how to compare this zoo as it was my first ever visit. It was okay. I was heart broken by the tigers (honestly, I was an emotional wreak), the bears were cute (of course) but the staff was not really smiley smiley (does it make sense?) but I sort of enjoyed it

I would like to leave here some info related to this train, maybe it helps. We took the train this month, April, 2025, therefor the info is updated: - tickets: you can buy them from the main station, on Dorottya street, as there is a Touristic info center open on the weekends, as well, and you can pay with credit card. You can buy them also directly from the train, but in this case you will need cash. Very important, I think, it is the fact that you have to buy the tickets only on the day of the travel (you cannot buy them in advance). You can get on the train anytime, as the tickets are not hour-related. - the departure station is on Dorottya street, very close to this Info center - the train schedule is available on their website, where they keep it updated - at Lillafüred stop you can visit the waterfall, the Suspended gardens, the Hamori lake, and the caves nearby. The Palota hotel is there as well, and you can take a walk through the garden around the hotel. Food and drinks are available in the area. There is a toilet too, a very “old” one, but at least there is one (it works with cash, coins, to be more specific, 200HUF) 😁 I recommend to have cash with you, anyways.

It's an amazing place with lovely lake and green lush hills. You should prepare a light tracking before going there, that way you'll be able to truly enjoy the trails and tracks through the hills. Most of the trails are marked.

If you or your kids like trains (mine are obsessed), than you cannot go wrong. The longer the better! The trip to Garadna is rather uneventful with only a small snack area and a couple of trail heads, but a fun overall experience.

Going by some of the reviews, I think there is much misunderstanding about this railway & the map pinpoint which is understandable. Maybe this might help someone... check days & times online that it runs. If you are a tourist & new to the area, find Végéllomás Bistro on Google maps (Végéllomás means "end station" or "terminus" in Hungarian) & take tram 1 from Miskolc to the Bistro - tram stop "LAEV" is right outside it. (Download Mobiljegy to get a tram ticket or tap on tram drivers door inside tram to pay cash) The train station & ticket office for the Railway is next door to the Bistro. In the ticket office they speak English & German. It is no problem to get a ticket. The train ride is absolutely brilliant. Sit on the right side of the train if you can. Takes you through the outskirts of Diósgyör & winds its way through the forest, over a large bridge & through a tunnel up to Lillafüred. The train takes 30 minutes to reach Lillafüred. Plenty to do once you get there. See the waterfall, the hanging gardens of the palace then go and row a boat out into the loch. Wonderful scenery. On the way back, Végéllomás Bistro is well worth a stop for an evening meal - it is Michelin recommended & fairly priced with nice outdoor terrace! 😊

It's fun for kids, but personally I did not feel anything extraordinary about this route, especially when we compare with any other scenic train routes in Europe.

Great experience for all ages

Very unique style of the wooden -open air train , running through the wood forests up to the hill . Most recommended

The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. Waitresses are kind, but we had to wait a bit long to someone take our order even though it was only a few guests in the restaurant. We had to use the little button placed on each table to call the waitress for taking our order. These little buttons however are a great idea! The food was delicious with big portions! The coffee on the other hand could be better. In the toilet the soap dispenser was empty. Overall it was a nice experience and we will be back when we visit Hungary again.

Absolutely the best pancakes I've ever had! Creppy in Miskolc is a must-visit if you're anywhere near the city. The pancakes—both sweet and savory—are unbelievably delicious and creatively prepared. Honestly, these are the best pancakes I've ever eaten. I'm just glad it's not close to Osijek, or I'd easily weigh over 100 kilos by now! Highly recommended!

Really nice place. Great food, would highly recommend

The place has a big advantage, it has parking and terrace, on top of crepe based foods. Parking in Miskolc was a pain, we had no coins, the mobile app did not work to take the card, sms only valid for national numbers. The menu has lots of crepes options, savory and sweet. We took a soup, a beef pancake and a pulled pork one. The good was tasty and big big portions, too much to eat for us to be honest. The service was friendly, good English, polite, good times. The prices are high, especially for meat pancakes (4300-5000 huf per such dish). Terrace has no plants, just concrete, gets hot even with umbrellas.

Food is on point. The patio was fantastic and a great place for a date. The only thing that was bad was the terrible music at full volume. You’d think that a restaurant of this caliber and style would choose something classier than club music. 🤣 just why?

Creppes heaven. Find it on the map, take a walk and try. Wide variety of sweat or sour creppes in deacent size and satisfactory tasts. Highly recommended to visit when you are done with goulash or other hungarian food;)

This place was amazing! 😀 We ordered a big Gru lemonade and 2 pancakes both of them was very delicious. The crew was very kind and fast. I recommend itt 100% after a long walk cause the portion is big that's why itt worth every penny 😃

We are quite picky when it comes to food. But the dishes we got heres were second to none. Both the beef and the fish were perfectly made, with well-selectes and fresh sides, not to mention the absolutely stunning dessert. We got homemade lemonade as well. The service was friendly, yet professional. It's a bistro, so we did not expect molecular gastronomy experiments here, but these traditional dishes have completely made our day. The praise is absolutely deserved. Kudos to the whole staff.

Elevated service with a very kind staff. Food is super-delicious and very good quality. This place is a must-try.

A very pleasant and chic place, the food is very tasty, the menu is varied enough and suitable for everyone's taste. For every recommendation!

Exceptional! Not surprising it is Michelin recommended! We really enjoyed our meal here. Can be reached easily from the walking street in the centre of Miskolc by taking the tram. The inside of the restaurant has a great atmosphere but, we chose to eat out on the terrace as it was lovely weather that evening. We both had starters - kohlrabi soup & melon salad. For mains, I ordered the pumpkin filled beetroot ravioli w/ blood orange sauce & it was gorgeous. My daughter opted for their vegan special & that evening it was a delicious & fragrant coconut curry with seasonal vegetables of cauliflower & summer squash. We couldn't pass up pudding either on this occasion & both were divine! We had several beers & cocktails as well & along with 3 course each, it was difficult to believe all told the bill was under £70. Excellent value for such a fabulously presented & exceptional dining experience. Service was also very friendly & efficient. There is an English menu if your Hungarian is rusty. 😉 If you plan to visit Lillafüred via the wonderful Forest Railway, the station is next door & a visit here for dinner would be a lovely way to end your day out there.

A Michelin star well deserved. Tasty foods and great service. Not the fastest, though we were there in peak hours with a large group. Great choice of wines an spirits. This restaurant is a top star oof the city. Totally recommended.

Delicious food, nice and elegant waiters and lovely place to eat with friends

Absolutely loved this place. We were out in Lillafüred and the restaurant is conveniently located at the first station of the forest train. We have a chaotic, neurodivergent family and our youngest has very specific requirements regarding his food. If they are not met he will have a meltdown and our evening is ruined. Our waiter listened to us and made sure everything was spot on as requested, without judgement. I always feel the need to explain autism but I did not have to do it this time. How refreshing! Everything we ordered was beautifully made, interesting and delicious. In fact it was one of the best dining experiences I ever had, besides the food that is down to our server and the chill atmosphere of the place. I will definitely make the trip back, even though I’m not from the area. Very highly recommended!

The taps on the table are really inventive, but I felt the food was nothing special. We went in without a reservation, and we were allowed an hour or so, so I thought the service would be faster... I know it was my responsibility for not having a reservation, but honestly I felt it would have been better if they just said no and we came back another day with more time. Still, nice place and atmosphere. I would have wished for a bigger selection of beers on the table tap!

Great experience! The waiters were very nice, making sure we were having a good time. The way you can pour your own beer is kind of genius and very convenient. There is also a good selection of fancy meals. Everything we tasted was amazingly well made by expert chefs (you can see into the kitchen and watch the masters at work). This restaurant is far from cheap though and the portion sizes don't always reflect the prices (if you are worried about that, the BBQ seasoned ribs are massive at a great price). While this place is definitely outside of most people's price range for casual dining, trying it out once is a worthwhile experience.

Great experience, excellent food but it is very pricy. The portions aren't the biggest, the best value buy is the BBQ seasoned ribs. The waiters are helpfull and kind, there is in house made beer that is pricy but very good.

We spent weekend in Miskolc and I would say, that this was the higlight of our trip. I got only tartar and borsc but my friend order ribs. That what he get was massive.😃 It looks so tasty, that I have to try it also. Really delicious meat, I live in CPH and i tried many places here, but I can say i cannot compare any ribs here with ribs which they bring to us.I recomend to make tartar little bit less sour. But anyway this restaurant deserve 5 stars. Borsc excellent 👌On recomendation of waitress, I tried blackberry palinka, it smells so strong, but when you drink it, you dont feel it. Exactly how it supposed to be 👍 Place is modern, restaurant staff very kind, big plus that they speak english. I didnt ask the name of waitress, but she deserve separate 5 stars. Very kind, know what to recomend, speak english, everything as it should be. Prices on normal range. Thank you so much.

After being away from my home town for over a decade I was so much looking forward coming back home and experience the new thriving culinary scene so I have done my research based on online reviews and some on word of mouth. I have picked Zip’s based on the online reviews. Oh boy, did I make a mistake !? Where do I start ? There is no air conditioning in the middle of June, service is extra slow, although there were only a very few customers, half of the food from the menu wasnt available, beer tap not fully functioning . Even after all of this, I was still hoping the food will be good, but once again it was a let down. Nothing special, the quality of the meat was good, but everything else is just average . My final verdict is dont trust online reviews, if you can , ask around by locals what their experience is. There are much better restaurants in Miskolc and its vicinity .

Creative a'la carte meals with seasonal menus Quality weekly menus for lunch Specialty coffee: coffee of the house, ziPresszó – made by the four-time Hungarian barista champion, from One Eleven Concept Roastery along with his other coffee selection. High standard bar. You can book a guided brewery visit or beer – tasting at any time

Food was good and there was also a vegan burger option. Service wasn't the fastest but overall good. Lacking a beer menu which is weird for a craft beer place.

Great restaurant in Miskolc. I love the interior and their garden outside place that’s a mix of modern (industrial) and old. It’s a great venue for big dinners and events. Especially in the summer. In terms of food, I found that it was amazingly presented. It was tasty too, but without the kick.. somehow it was lovely but not that memorable. Sadly I didn’t find it fulfilling, and I’d expect to feel full when I eat out. They didn’t have a huge variation of options for the first course, so I went for a main and dessert instead. They served an appetiser that was interesting but a bit odd tasting. The main was lovely, but as I said, not extraordinarily and didn’t feel full afterwards. The dessert was gorgeous looking but not fully my taste either. I believe the wine matching wasn’t the best to bring out the best from the food/wine either. Service was lovely, prompt and attentive, but I was the only customer. They have a good selection of Hungarian wines, now it’s changed to smaller boutique vineyards.

Unfortunately the soup was awful. Other dishes and all of the choice my husband ordered were great. Only the chicken soup... So bad. After one spoon I just stopped. It was on the same level of a school canteen chicken soup. The liquid itself tasteless, the vegetables overcooked. Disgusting I gave 3 stars because other dishes from the menu were nice. Not outstanding but nice. We have been here before. Based on my memories I have had higher expectations. Sorry guys

Miscolc doesn't have any similar restoraunt like this. Food very good served. If you have eaten food in Italy or France then don't expect anything special in this restaurant. 12% of service is included to the bill

After a long drive from the other side of the country, we happened upon this place in Miskolc. Upon entering, we were kindly greeted by the host who also seemed to be manning the bar and assisted in serving us. The staff was friendly and helpful. They could tell right away that my wife doesn't speak Hungarian, so they spoke to us in Hunglish (Hungarian-English hybrid). The food was great--especially the grilled chicken. Bread was served before the main course arrived and it came with a beet salad. Normally, I would be displeased with beet salad. Who am I, Dwight Schrute? But this beet salad was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised. My roast beef came with what seems like some small fried mashed potato cakes. They were also delicious. Also worth mentioning: the plates themselves were quite nice. Their design was unique and they felt pretty substantial and sturdy. Öt csillag!

One of the best restaurants in Miskolc if not the best. The food was excellent and pleasing to the eyes too. Warm service and nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices for a fine dining experience.✨

This is great retaurant. Food is delicious. Waiters are very kind. The place is awesome: very comfortable and really nice. In addition, there is a space for children. I love that restaurant!

Half way through the meal I discovered a huge caterpillar in the salad. Very unprofessional for a place aiming for high end dining. Although the waiter apologised and they didn’t charge for that dish, his response was that it’s not possible to see the bugs hiding in the salad leaves and such things already happened from time to time. Disappointing to see such low standards. Will not be returning for sure

Very nice and modern restaurant. Pleasant staff and okay food. The only problem is very suffocating air.

The pizza here was really good. The diavola actually super spicy and the dough fluffy. Would come again!

Great food, atmosphere and service. They are pet friendly. Highly recommended 👌

Excellent place. Delicious food. Will definitely see you again soon. Would prefer if they don't put people without children in the children's corner. Reservations recommended.

We came back after a year, and we were pleasantly surprised by the change in the restaurant. Everything was so delicious!

A hidden gem. Very friendly and very good food.

The best place to eat in Miskolc! We were here 2 times, everytime was perfect! Amazing pizza and desserts, professional service and very good prices. You will get your food faster than you think. I can totally recommend this place
