The Bishop's Palace in Eger Castle - Eger

Just an hour by bus from Miskolc, the northern spa town of Eger has plenty to offer the visitor -- the castle, the minaret, museums, the Basilica and the Valley of the Nice Women (nothing to do with women -- more to do with wine ...). All the above are clearly sign-posted in English -- it's very easy to find your way around Eger.

Great tips.Visited Eger many times and it's one of my fav cities in Hungary, much more laid back and nicer than Budapest. The literal translation is 'beautiful ladies' not nice ladies. It's even great for a weekend getaway in the winter! Tim
