The site of the famous defeat of 1552, known as the Siege of Eger, Eger Castle currently serves as a museum and provides a great view of the city from its hilltop location. During the Siege of Eger, a small Hungarian army of 2,000 people, including women and children, defeated the Turkish army of 80,000 soldiers. The castle was later captured by the Turks, who proceeded to rule it for almost a century. Take a guided tour of the castle to learn more about its role in the country's history.

The castle is not of any interest. The collection is very meager, the era is mixed. It's Hungarian. Tip: Do not take audio guide, only for nothing spend money, the numbers on the plan and the text of the audio guide does not match at all. Not recommended, not interesting.View original -

Great Castle in the center of Eger, visible from each side. Interesting in every regard there is also a part of Poland. Very good restaurant, great location. The biggest impression, however, does the view from the top of Eger.View original

Actually one of the coolest castles I've visited in Europe. Extremely old, but full of I treating details and information. Students also get in free which is absolutely amazing! Wish I had more time to explore this spot.

Nice place! Inside there are few expositions about the history of this castle. People who are working there are really welcoming even is they don't know English. Btw, in case you are younger than 26 years - you can enter for free - just need to show the ID.
