Eger

Eger is a county-seat town in northern Hungary graced with gorgeous churches and some of the best and most beloved spas in this hot-water-crazy country — and the surrounding wine region is world-famous. And yet, refreshingly, enchanting Eger remains mostly off the tourist trail. Everything in Eger is painted with vibrant colors, and even the communist apartment blocks seem quaint. The sights are few but fun, the ambience is great, and strolling is a must. It all comes together to make Eger an ideal taste of small-town Hungary.
