Have you ever heard the word Bormustra? It’s in Hungarian and it’s connected with the Wine Competition that takes place in Eger in the spring or summer. It lasts a few days. Bormustra - Wine Competition - in Eger, Hungary Unless you like huge crowds, make sure you’re not planning your summer trip to Eger in those days. Never mind the crowds though. What really counts is the problem you’ll inevitably have with finding accommodation.

You can say what you want but good food can definitely change a sad, depressed man into one full of energy and optimism.

Pancake restaurant in Eger Palacsinta means “pancake” (and by the way, Istvan Dobo was a national Hungarian hero:-) Palacsintavar (a pancake castle) is an awesome restaurant which offers huge, delicious pancakes of many kinds.
