Hungary
Eger
A baroque town where thermal waters meet wine cellars carved into volcanic hillsides.
Eger moves at the pace of wine aging in centuries-old cellars, where locals descend underground to taste Bull's Blood from stone vaults. The town's baroque spires rise from a landscape shaped by ancient volcanic activity, while thermal springs steam in courtyards tucked behind painted facades.
