Eger - The reasonable seasons in Eger to travel

According to my experience traveling to Hungary, it is best to go in the fall or spring. At this time the weather is quite pleasant, not too hot or cold, suitable for sightseeing and exploring the most attractive places.

Because it is located in the temperate region of the Northern Hemisphere, this is the intersection of continental climate, temperate maritime climate, and subtropical Mediterranean climate. Therefore, you should avoid going in the summer, especially June, July, and August because the temperature is very high, sometimes up to 35 degrees Celsius, feeling hot, affecting the trip.

Additionally, you can also travel in winter to enjoy the exciting cold experience and see the snowfall.

Wine

Eger is famous for its two blends: red Egri Bikavér and white Egri Csillag thanks to the lush forest soil covering volcanic rhyolite with limestone and broken rocks. About 86 miles northeast of Budapest, Eger has been identified by scientists as having 30 million-year-old wine grape fossils among the vineyards of Eger today.

Meanwhile, Egri Csillag, known as Star of Eger, is blended from at least 4 types of white grapes with a minimum of 50% native grapes. Some possible candidates include Leányka, Királyleányka, Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zengö, and Zenit. The wine is very aromatic, bursting with notes of white flowers and tropical fruits.
