One of Hungary's most beautiful and magical Christmas markets.
The intimacy of the historic city center and the Dobó square swimming in light, with the magnificent Eger Castle in the background, impresses many people year after year! For young and old, families and young couples, Eger is the best choice if they want a really spectacular, melodious, sparkling, but still intimate festive tune-up.
Dazzling decorative lighting, special visual elements, a hut-like warming room await those interested, and of course there will also be mulled wine, chimney cakes, handicrafts and lots of Christmas treats.
The restaurants of Eger city center and Szépasszonyvölgy also show their festive faces during Advent, and it is worth choosing from the offers of accommodations in Eger.
Let Eger become your real story, lock the experience in your heart! Eger Advent - more than a holiday!
Festive programs, mouthwatering flavors and aromas, heartwarming mulled wines, and countless magical moments: the Christmas wonderland of Eger Advent awaits everyone with love once again at Dobó Square!
