 Wine cellars in the Valley of
the Nice Women by Ben-UK
Nothing to do with women, the valley is full of little wine cellars embedded into the hillside, each offering a variety of local wines at a very cheap price -- there are a few touristy restaurants there too.

 Eger Castle by Ben-UK
2,000 Eger heroes held out for 38 days against an invading force of 60,000 -- the Turks retreated in defeat.
During the siege, the Eger forces, led by Dobo Istvan, drank large quantities of the local wine -- their red, wine-stained beards gave the Turks the excuse that the Eger forces had been drinking the blood of bulls to give them extra strength -- hence the name Bull's Blood wine.
However, Bull's Blood or not, the Turks returned in 1599 and this time conquered the town and then controlled the region for almost a century.
Today the castle house various exhibitions, but even if you don't want to see any of those, it's worth making the climb up the hill to see the magnificent views from the castle. Leave a Comment Directions: Overlooking the town -- just follow the signs.

Is a place about 3km away from center with wine cellars into the hillside.
The wine there is cheaper than town.
