General presentation
Eger et Bükk
Baroque town and hills of the north Hungarian, between castle of Eger, cellars of the Valley of Belles Femmes, Bükk National Park and Miskolctapolca baths.
The discovery of Eger and Bükk revolves around Castle Eger, Valley of the Belles Femmes and Bükk. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, mountain reliefs and forests, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: cold winter and scattered sites outside the city. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Parc national d'Aggtelek
The Aggtelek National Park is best known for its karst and caves, including the Baradla-Domica system shared with Slovakia. Under ground, concretions, sound rooms and limestone corridors dominate the experience; on the surface, meadows, villages and gentle hills offer a more rural counterpoint.
Castle
Château d'Eger
The castle of Eger dominates the Baroque city and recalls the military episodes that shaped its identity. The ramparts, museums and views on the roofs give a compact but very structuring visit.
Wine and wine cellars
Vallée des Belles Femmes
The Vallée des Belles Femmes gathers caves, terraces and tastings a few minutes away Eger It gives a friendly version of Hungarian wine, easy to combine with the historic centre.
Mountain and forest
Lillafüred et Bükk
Lillafüred serves as a very photogenic door to the Bükk, with hotel-palais, lake, waterfalls and forests. The area brings a clear natural contrast after Eger, especially if a short walk takes place.
