Sobre

Fatos rápidos: A rede de casamatas de 40 metros de profundidade sob o castelo se estende por mais de 200 metros de tuneis subterraneos. Um unico tiro de canhao de um defensor hungaro durante o cerco de 1552 derrubou dois paxas otomanos simultaneamente.

Destaques: Prove voce mesmo a lenda na adega do castelo, onde voce pode degustar o vinho tinto encorpado que teria dado aos defensores forca sobre-humana durante o cerco de 1552. Balas de canhao otomanas originais ainda incrustadas nas muralhas da fortaleza fazem a batalha medieval parecer chocantemente presente.

Dicas de quem conhece

Skip the wax museum inside and head straight for the underground tunnel system and panoramic tower instead.
Bring sturdy walking shoes because the cobblestone paths and uneven stairs inside the casemates get slippery.
The best photo spot is from the eastern bastion at golden hour, with the entire city of Eger spreading out below.
Plan at least 20 minutes for the short but steep hike up from the city center to the castle gates.
