Private Eger Town and Castle Tour

 

Enjoy this fantastic tour to the historical town of Eger. At 10.00 am your private, English speaking driver will pick you up at your Budapest accommodation and let you soak up the Mediterranean feel of the town, with it's former cathedral, founded in the 10th century by the first Hungarian king, St. Stephen and it's castle, erected in the 13th century, will give you plenty of opportunity to get to know Hungary's past. The town flourished during the Middle Ages when wine making became the main source of income. In the 16th century, under Turkish occupation, Eger changed radically. Most churches were converted into mosques and public baths and minarets were built.
After the Turkish occupation the archbishop returned and the city regained its status. The historic buildings of Eger make the city an architectural gem, worth exploring all year around. This tour cost the same for 1-4 people.
