Eger - The reasonable seasons in Eger to travel

According to my experience traveling to Hungary, it is best to go in the fall or spring. At this time the weather is quite pleasant, not too hot or cold, suitable for sightseeing and exploring the most attractive places.

Because it is located in the temperate region of the Northern Hemisphere, this is the intersection of continental climate, temperate maritime climate, and subtropical Mediterranean climate. Therefore, you should avoid going in the summer, especially June, July, and August because the temperature is very high, sometimes up to 35 degrees Celsius, feeling hot, affecting the trip.

Additionally, you can also travel in winter to enjoy the exciting cold experience and see the snowfall.

The library has more than 130,000 rare books, and medieval manuscripts on fine oak shelves.

A special feature of this library is a letter written by Mozart in Hungary, which is the only letter he wrote while visiting this country.

Wine

Eger is famous for its two blends: red Egri Bikavér and white Egri Csillag thanks to the lush forest soil covering volcanic rhyolite with limestone and broken rocks. About 86 miles northeast of Budapest, Eger has been identified by scientists as having 30 million-year-old wine grape fossils among the vineyards of Eger today.

Meanwhile, Egri Csillag, known as Star of Eger, is blended from at least 4 types of white grapes with a minimum of 50% native grapes. Some possible candidates include Leányka, Királyleányka, Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zengö, and Zenit. The wine is very aromatic, bursting with notes of white flowers and tropical fruits. The tartness of pineapple, citrus, and lychee blends with almonds in the mouth with a crisp finish.

A place where great wines are stored and made.

Underground tunnel

The tunnels were built in the 17th century when the city was taken over by the Ottoman Empire. The tunnels stretch for 4 km and are also used as wine cellars. You will need a few hours to explore these tunnels when visiting Eger. Multilingual tours of these cool tunnels are available year-round, starting at every hour.

You can tour the rooms with Escher-style pillars, at the complex connection point in the cellar system where 14 galleries meet.

Wineries and Wine Cellars are one of Eger's top attractions. At this Eger tourist destination, you can try Egri Bikaver wine, which means bull's blood. While quality can vary from grower to grower, Egri Bikavér is consistently strong and goes well with red meat and spicy foods.
