On the road from Budapest the private car moves across the flat Pannonian plain and, as the hills of northern Hungary draw closer, Eger’s pastel facades come into view. Meet your licensed guide in the compact Baroque center where cobbled streets, a lone Ottoman minaret, and a stately archbishop’s palace set the day’s rhythm.
