Dobó István Square
Bästa tid att besöka
Late afternoon around 4-5 PM, when the golden sun hits the yellow baroque facades and the cafés are buzzing but not packed.
Budgettips
The square is free to visit at any hour. Skip the tourist-trap cafés on the north side and walk one block to Kossuth Street for better coffee at half the price.

Om
Snabba fakta: Torget är hem för den 40 meter höga Minoritkyrkan, vars tvillingtorn dominerar Egers silhuett. En mässingsplatta markerar platsen där ungerska soldater svor en ed före slaget vid Eger 1552 mot ottomanska styrkor.
Höjdpunkter: Titta ner på kullerstenarna så hittar du en mässings "skamsten" där personer anklagade för mindre brott en gång tvingades stå bundna till en påle. På natten lyser torgets barockbyggnader upp i varmt lampljus och skapar känslan av ett friluftsmuseum som råkar vara ett levande stadskärna.
Insidertips
- Visit on a Saturday morning when the small farmers' market sets up next to the church for fresh local cheeses and crafts.
- The best photo angle is from the southeastern corner of the square, which captures both church towers and the column without crowds.
- Skip the horse-drawn carriage rides, they circle for 10 minutes and cost the same as a full lunch.
- If you see a brass bolt in the pavement near the church steps, that marks the medieval well that once supplied the entire square.
