Review:
Located just two hours by train from Budapest, the charming town of Eger is an ideal destination for a day trip. The town’s main claim to fame is that 2000 of its residents withstood the advances of a determined army of 60,000 Turks in 1552. (However, the Turks later returned in 1599 and controlled the city for nearly a century). Highlights of your visit should include a visit to the castle (here you will find museums, dungeons and more), a stroll through the attractive Baroque old town and perhaps a visit to the lively indoor market for an authentic taste of local delicacies.
