The experience
Embark on a full-day private tour that combines the relaxation of Egerszalók’s unique thermal baths with the cultural and historical charm of the town of Eger. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Hungarian countryside, leading you to the famous Egerszalók thermal springs. Nestled in the shadow of striking white salt hills, these natural hot springs are known for their curative properties, rich in minerals that soothe the body and soul. The natural formations created by the salt deposits give the area a surreal, almost otherworldly appearance, making your thermal bath experience truly unforgettable. You’ll have time to unwind in the warm waters, taking in the serenity of your surroundings.
After relaxing at the thermal baths, the tour continues to Eger, one of Hungary’s most beautiful and historically rich towns. Famous for its baroque architecture and as the site of one of the most famous sieges in Hungarian history, Eger offers a blend of history, culture, and wine. Your guide will lead you through the historic streets, where you’ll visit the majestic Eger Castle, which played a pivotal role in defending against the Ottoman Empire in 1552. From the top of the castle, you can enjoy panoramic views of the town and the surrounding countryside.
As you stroll through Eger’s picturesque center, you’ll have the chance to visit the town’s grand basilica, the second largest in Hungary, known for its neoclassical design and magnificent interiors. Along the way, you’ll also discover the town's famous minaret, a relic from the Ottoman era, offering an intriguing contrast to the town's predominantly Baroque charm.
The tour concludes with a visit to one of Eger’s renowned wine cellars. Known for its robust red wines, particularly the famous "Egri Bikavér" or "Bull’s Blood," Eger is a must-visit for wine lovers. You’ll have the chance to sample some local wines and learn about the region's centuries-old winemaking traditions.
This private tour offers an unparalleled combination of relaxation, history, and culture, providing a comprehensive experience of two of Hungary’s hidden gems.
