Slide 1 of 8
Famous Hungarian castle. It has been renovated and improved in the last few years. There is an extensive audio guide in multiple languages. You can learn a lot about the history and the famous battle against the ottomans. Every day at 15:52 there is a celebration of the 1552 battle with firing an ancient gun (see video). It is to honour the memory of the protectors of the castle.
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.

48 different cellars to see. Nice walking area and lots of food options for all. Be sure to pace your self. The cellars will be happy to serve you many types of wine. Cellar 2 and 19 were the best that we saw. The location is just great to walk around. We had a ton of fun and the history behind it all is worth understanding before you go.
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.

A beautiful historic square, in summer there are various events, in winter you can find Christmas markets here. Large buildings and distinctive architecture underline the historical importance of the city of Eger, which even today is one of the important places to visit.
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.

So beautiful inside. Lucky to have the place to ourselves at about 5pm. It is free. Quite unique inside, in that it has a big space to separate the worshippers , i to what looks like 2 separate sections.
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.

Visitors can climb a narrow staircase to the top of this former mosque tower for scenic city views.
Slide 1 of 8
Tourist attraction one can’t miss. Rare occasion to climb the Minaret. But before you decide, make sure you’re able to handle it. 98 steps seem to be an easy task for a fit person but it is not the main challenge. Tower inside is very claustrophobic and steps are steep and narrow. And if you make if to the top, you must go down, which seems to be even more challenging. However, the panorama of the city, from the top. Amazing.
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.

Very nice infrastructure, couple of pools with water with different temperature. Nice for kids and adults. Nice gastronomy and all.
Crowdy and dirty. The showers next to the pools didn't work. The tiles were coming away in some places.
Gorgeous strand with botanical trees in a lovely nature.
With their newly built slides and upgraded facilities this aquapark is a modern, nice place, we had a lot of fun here. It is family friendly, there were a lot of children, but the park was large enough for all. The hot water soaking pools were a blessing. Make sure you look around before buying food, although they are all cheap, some of the food outlets are much better than others.
Like outdoor pools? Well you can't go wrong here. It manages to cater for three distinct groups well. 'Serious' swimmers, who want to get some lengths in. Families, with space for games with the children and slides. And, those who want a 'Spa-like' experience (for the full experience I recommend going to the excellent Turkish Baths next door which include entry to the outdoor facilities). For adults, don't worry, the space is big enough for the raucous activities of children to be away from the more relaxed pools.
Spent two days here with the family - tis a great place to go, lots of warm pools great price - couple of places to eat on site too or take a picnic - it will be worth it, as a good day can be spent here. Only negative is that been here two years on the trot and central feature in kids pool is still closed?
Great place to splash in the water in the middle of Eger. No 5 stars because there is no restrictions on the number of visitors, so summer and spring weekends are too crowded, making the experience not as perfect as it could be.
A lot of various places to relax and have a bath including a medical baths, swimming pool and amenities for children. All of these for fair price. Could really recommend.

Very impressive museum, keeping in mind that every exhibit is from marzipan, definitely worth a visit.
If you think about it, it truly is an amazing exhibition of art and craft mastery. But you have to think about it carefully, because on face value, it's quite a small exhibition and can seem deceptively ordinary.
Interesting museum. Can you imagine that all exhibits are made out of marzipan? Unbelievable masterpieces. Recommend to see.
Disappointing. Not worth the entrance fee. 5 minutes are enough to see the pieces on display, employee at the entrance not friendly.
This places makes you hungry, really interesting place to visit. You can try delicious marcipans in the small shop next to entrance.
Pretty but over priced entry fee.
It's unbelievable how those works of art are made from marzipan. The detailing and size of some "statues" are ridiculous. There are ones of traditional hungarian pillows, the minaret, from folk stories and much more. It's 1000 Ft for adults, 500 Ft for students.

I made a last minute booking for a tasting at the end of November 2024. They were super accommodating and I really enjoyed getting a 1:1 experience while tasting 6 different wines. I was able to tour the event spaces and the fermentation room. I highly recommend coming here for a few hours to relax and enjoy some local wines.
Went for a tasting & tour, and contacted the place the day before to ensure that happens. Was told that places closes at 4pm so arrived shortly after 2.30pm hoping to experience it, but was immediately "greated" with that we can only do it at the bar, so immediately "the experience" wasn't as nice as the person who welcomed us wasn't in the mood or just was very "short". Anyhow we were allowed to walk the vineyard ourselves which was truly superb so place deserves 5/5, interiors too, wine bottle designs as well 5/5, wines themselves 4/5 as were just OK (except brut which was 5/5), customer service 3/5 - done to be done, so overall has to be 4/5. Would I do it again, maybe, but there's too many vineyards around to take another chance... Work to be done folks! Leaving 4 as you have the potential here!!!
It was truly a delightful experience. I booked from Italy after reading many positive reviews online, and I must say the location is stunning, the wines were a pleasant surprise, and the pizzas were very good. We would have enjoyed exploring the area as well, but I understand that Sundays have shorter opening hours. Still, it’s an experience I wholeheartedly recommend.
Relaxed afternoon wine tasting and tour with Chubby. Definetly recommend visiting. I booked online and they were ready to welcome us to try the wines.
We have visited vineyards in many countries on many continents but didn't know a lot about wine from Hungary. So when we visited, we knew we needed to try it. Bolyki was a great experience in terms of the wine and the winery itself. The winery is dug into the earth like a cave. It was very comfortable when it was hot outside. The wine was just fabulous. Both white and red, we found some we just had to bring home. It's affordable too which might not always be the case if the region gets recognized more. From Budapest to Eger, it is a short 2 hr bus/train ride. Make a day trip or stay the night. Worth the visit.
My husband and I and our small dog all had an amazing time at Bolyki winery. The scenery and winery is absolutely beautiful with a great view of Eger from it as well as spectacular stone cliffs that make up the building. If we weren’t already married, it would be an amazing place to have a wedding. Great conversation and history as we drank heavy pours of phenomenal wines on our tasting. The wine is super delicious and we bought several bottles to consume later. Highly recommend!
My friend from London and I (based in Budapest) had great time at Bolyki winery, though we had a very stressful start! On the way to Bolyki, google map guided us to a narrow unpaved road. Due to the rain, our car got stucked in the mud. So unless you have a 4x4, don't drive in from Egri út side, drive from Kistályai út. Big big thanks to Csaba from the winery, his excellent hospitality made us feel comfortable, cozy and relaxed, so we could enjoy the delish wine and food for the rest of the day! He and the owner of the winery also offered help to get our car out of the mud while still raining, so my friend could catch the flight back and end our weekend trip perfectly. As a foreigner, I couldn't thank more for their warm-heart and kindness. The winery itself is a hidden gem. Its unique scenery is very much suitable for wedding party or company event. I will recommend all my friends to pay a visit while in Eger.
Incredible afternoon of tasting and learning. Stumbled across the winery on google maps and knew I had to go. Took the train from Budapest and a very easy 25 minute walk from eger station through the picturesque neighbourhoods. Felt very much ‘off the beaten track’ but was immediately welcomed in like it was someone’s home We had a very personal tour of the wine making facilities covering this incredible history of the vineyard. The tasting was great and incredible value for what we got - the wines were phenomenal and I learned so much about the different grape varieties. Great communication beforehand too after emailing to book a time. All in all, would thoroughly recommend if visiting Budapest and you want to escape to eger and taste some amazing wine

It was beautiful to visit the tunnels under the city. I do wish that they also showed the wine cellars during the tour apart from the exhibition. The history tour was okay, the guide got a bit carried away with the details. I highly recommend buying advance tickets as the tours are separate for Hungarian and English.
The Eger underground wine cellars are a must-see, but plan accordingly. English tours are limited, and while the Hungarian ones are informative, a 45-minute tour would be ideal as the 90-minute option is overly long. You'll journey through history and explore ancient wine storage, but dress warmly as the cellars are chilly. Unfortunately, English information is scarce, making a guided English tour essential.
As we are really interested in sightseeing the underground cellars we planned visiting the City under the city while being in Eger. Unfortunately the staff rudely informed us that there were no tours in English this day and even though we didn’t really care and wanted to see the cellars anyway this person basically wanted to get rid of us. Pity :((
Interesting place with nice historical story behind, but the tour guide only talk in Hungarian and not English. At the end you can taste a little wine and bread!
I can wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone who's interested in a little bit of history. It's light-hearted, hilarious and the tour guides are awesome!
Boring, guide hardly knew english, spoke extremely slow. Not worth the admitance.
The English language tour was at 1500, we were the only takers but it was February and the tour went ahead with just the two of us. Our guide a lovely young man had only been learning English for three years but he was informed, witty and eager to please. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour.
Fantastic experience. Must go. So much history and tour guide was awesome

An amazing place full of passion. Very nice and helpful employees. Possibility to buy souvenirs. We were very impressed.it's worth coming and seeing❤️
An absolutly stunning museum, with approx 2000 pcs collection, movies, articles, pictures, LPs, unique relics all around. Minimum 2 hours visit proposed
A fantastic museum created and hosted by enthusiasts who've been gathering artifacts related to The Beatles for 45 years. It's awesome and interesting for both fans as well as newbies who only know a few songs. The museum allows all visitors to follow The Beatles' path from the very beginning. With more than two thousand artifacts, some being interactive, this is one of the most incredible places I've seen. Definitely a must-see when visiting Eger!
I had a wonderful experience at the Beatles Museum in Eger. The collection is amazing, you could really feel that the owner has left his heart at the place. We didn’t want to leave and this was for sure one of the highlights of our trip. Every staff member were delightful with lots of knowledge and eager to help and answer all of our questions. Thank you! Will recommend to everyone! 😊
It’s an interesting experience, but nothing notable - a lot of memorabilia and merch. Nice collection, though, and hats off to the owners for putting this together. The tour starts woth a short film in a basement, which was quite an enjoyable moment. I would recommend a visit.
Wonderful experience. Beautifully laid out, it guides you through the Beatles' major years and supports it with a multitude of linked photographs and memorabilia. The start of the tour sets the tone in an unexpected, yet very memorable, way. I cannot recommend it enough.
Loved my time here ! Great snapshots of The Beatles' journey, their successes and failures, personal stories, anecdotes, plenty of memorabilia, live and studio recordings. You can also put on headphones at different corners of the museum and sing along your favourite band songs. The host is super hospitable, welcoming and friendly.
I'm very happy to visited this museum. It was very nice experience. Very kind host. Anyone who loves the Beatles must visit it ❤️

The Church of Anthony of Padua is a very beautiful church! Love the architectural design and all the small details you can see in and outside of the church! If you are visiting the city of Eger you should stop by and enjoy this church!
Very peaceful 250 year old church.
Such a beautiful understated church with a special charm. I went after 7 PM. No tickets required then but I did light a candle & make a small donation. It’s located next to Dobó István square. I left feeling calm, content and relaxed.
I loved the rose color inside. Beautiful church in the square. Go in a look around and take a moment to sit in silence and just stare!
I came to Eger to visit its beautiful churches and unfortunately I found them closed. I went in a weekday around 10:30 am and it was closed. There are no informations about the opening hours anywhere….someone should really write down the opening hours and post them somewhere in the internet :(
Interesting church on the main square. Lots of history, Turkish occupation, Polish friendship.
If you come to Eger go to Church of Anthony of Padua

Soooo nice! Really good wines and so kind staff! Would really like to go there again!
What a wonderful experience. Great wine in a small group. I wish i could buy every bottle. A perfect experience for a wine lover, experienced or beginner.
Instead of Szépasszony-völgy, choose this place! Exceptional wines, fascinating stories about Nimród, and high-quality tour. It's impossible to leave without buying a few bottles
Had a great experience here! Very good and surprising wines. Best part was how Orsolya was welcoming, presented and explained the wines. She was awesome!
We did the wine tasting with cellar tour with Judit and it was great. The wines were top quality and the stories about the winery and Hungarian wine production made our day in Eger a very nice one. I recommend it!
Very welcoming staff trying their best to make your experience unforgettable in a quite familiar environment, since they do not mass produce their wines. There are multiple tasting menus and we opted for 6 wines, which provided a nice balance of wine types and categories (2 premium). We found one of the whites to be very good and we tasted some of the best reds in eger (though we only managed 4-5 producers). Really Recommended for a visit
Unfortunately we had a rather disappointing experience. The place looks nice and the wines were good, but the whole event is a tourist trap. We signed up for the basic wine tasting which was supposed to cost 4000 ft per person. We were given at the end of the tour a sip of their grand superior wine, which we did not ask for, and we were not informed that this will cost us more. Only when we were supposed to pay we were told it will cost us actually 6500ft per person, which meant 20.000 ft more for our visit (we were 8 people) because of that last tasting. This was more than the price of an entire bottle of the grand superior, which we only had a small amount of! We were also not offered to taste some their more exclusive wines that were supposed to be included in their 6500ft tasting. The lady who was showing us around was nice and friendly, but we would have preferred to hear more about the wines, than urban legends and anecdotes about the owner’s life. All in all it would have been a good experience, had we not felt so ripped off at the end. We wouldn’t go back and would not recommend it to friends.
Wine was outstanding! Very enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. Great conversations. Awesome wine cellar.

Very nice and enthusiastic lady explained very well in English that for visiting cellars only a guided tour is possible in Hungarian,but she had a written explanation to take a long. Upstairs was also the palace and there you could walk atoms on yourself with a small fee for taking photos. Well it's worth it if you are in Eger. It's the biggest underground location in the area.
Like all the places of interest in Eger, very well organised. OMG the Bishops had some fabulous palaces. Great to see all the artefacts displayed so well. Enjoyed the place for a couple of hours and then had coffee in their cafe.
Cool experience, though a guided tour is a must as there is very little signage throughout the building. We went with a group and had a great guide though, I truly recommend visiting here!
A must see when you are in Eger and have interest for historic sites. This still active bishop's palace has a great collection a proper English audio tour and is very well maintained. The very 'non-commercial' attitude is refreshing. The museum café under the arches serves very affordable good espresso.
It's a fantastic exhibition, everything is original and nicely reserved to the future.
Very interesting place. We had the opportunity to visit the cellar and people are really polite.
Wonderful and interesting exhibition in the bishop's palace.

Museum
Children's museum
Museum featuring lenses, solar clocks & other astronomical instruments, plus a camera obscura.
Slide 1 of 8
The camera obscura is worth climbing nine flights of stairs, but works best on a bright sunny day. Note that the demonstration occurs on the half hour, but you can kill time enjoying the observation deck. Buy the camera obscura ticket only if you want to skip the museum.
One star is to much, It's like an 80's failed science fair. Most of the display is out of order or just poorly planned. NOT recommended in the summer!!! No AC or fan. Very Very HOT!!! can't say if the ticket was worth it...
You should definitely visit the place if you like physics experiments. The interactive room is fun and immersive for adults and children.
We visited the museum in June and were very impressed by the dedication and expertise of the guides – who explained everything in English for us. The tower is a fairly magical place. My favorite was the camera obscura, but just seeing the astronomical exhibition or the Foucault pendulum would have made the visit worthwhile. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to experience everything.
The astronomical exhibition has some very old telescopes. But the real attraction is the camera obscura at top of the tower. Unfortunately the people in the museum bonoy talks in Hungarian, but there are some written guides for foreign visitors. The view from the top terrace is really nice.
Fantastic place, you feel the history while walking in the building. kind hosts, and beautiful view of Eger.
A must have experience. The building is also home to the local university and it is beautiful. There are multiple exhibitions with an interactive physics demonstration, an optical museum and an astronomical museum. The astronomical museum was especially interesting and there were old telescopes. The camera obscura is found az the top of the tower and was a great experience. The view is amazing from the top of the building. The demonstrations were all in Hungarian.
I visited the museum with my elder parents earlier today. Although we were told that the presentation of the camera obscura was in English, we went all the way up to the 9th floor to be told that we were not enough in number to have a few things explained to us in English. This was the first rude experience that we have had visiting Hungary so far. At least, when we complained on our way down to the reception, we were given our money back.

Shopping mall
Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
This mall is located close to the old town area with the main sights, basilica and the castle of Eger. The mall is the main shopping center that has some affordable brand names but don't expect exclusive luxury items. Food court is limited but there are some good confectioneries and coffee shop options.
Good variety of shops. Most of the units are now occupied again. Spacious and well-ventilated. The car park is quite tight. The toilets are good and are free. It is near to the bus station but quite a long uphill walk from the city centre.
A nice shopping center in the middle of Eger, you can buy your groceries there, there is a foodcourt also. Good parking, easy to walk distances.
That’s a great shopping centre. Looks new built and the size is of the shopping centre is great.
A really dull mall. I was there on a Sunday afternoon and it was almost empty. The only cafe I saw was tucked away in a corner. Limited shopping
Great Tesco , great pepco, hervis and many more
We went there to purchase some clothes , toys for kids and for good chocolates. But it was not a good shopping experience. We have good options to purchase clothes like C&A, Newyorker, KiK etc ., but we could not find good options for toys other than Lego and also no good options for chocolates
