Cons
–
Not ideal for kids; it’s alcohol-centric and lacks non-wine activities on site
–
Eger is less internationally famous than Budapest or Tokaj, so first-time U.S. visitors may need extra planning
–
Location is outside the city center; you’ll likely need a taxi or rideshare from the station
–
Compared with marquee Riesling regions (Mosel, Rheingau, Alsace), Eger’s Rieslings are less renowned, which may matter to label hunters
