Wine and baroque architecture in Hungary's North
Eger sits in north Hungary's wine country, a town famous for its baroque architecture and the legendary 1552 Siege of Eger (where defenders held off Ottoman forces for months). The town's thermal baths draw visitors, but the real treasure is the Valley of the Beautiful Women—a hillside warren of winemakers' caves where locals serve wine from barrels in their cellars. This is authentic, unpretentious Hungarian wine culture at its most charming.
