Ring out 2025 in Eger with street parties, winery blowouts, and all-night dancing across the city. From historic Dobó Square to vineyard estates, venues are going big on music, open bars, and buffet feasts to welcome 2026 in style. Plan your night, book your stay, and pace yourself—Eger is ready to party.
Where the countdown begins: Dobó Square
Dobó Square (Dobó tér) is the beating heart of New Year’s Eve in Eger. The city invites everyone to count down together in the square on December 31, turning the historic center into a pulse of music, cheer, and midnight fireworks vibes. If you want that classic open-air NYE moment, this is your spot—central, festive, and always packed with energy.
Wine-country celebration: Count Buttler Winery
At Count Buttler Winery (Gróf Buttler Borászat), the last night of the year spills into the first morning of the next. The winery promises a memorable night with the kind of warmth and atmosphere Eger’s wine culture is famous for. Expect a celebratory pace, a cellar glow, and fine glasses raised to 2026. It’s an ideal choice for those who want their New Year’s Eve with a side of terroir and a touch of tradition.
All-inclusive revelry at Rege Estate
Rege New Year’s Eve (REGE Szilveszter) brings one of Eger’s most exciting event spaces to life on December 31. The estate lays on a generous buffet and unlimited drinks, then hands the night over to a bold live band to keep the dance floor lit. If you want a one-ticket solution—great food, free-flow drinks, and non-stop music—this is designed for you. Taxi home recommended.
Club night till dawn at the Orpheum
Orpheum throws its New Year’s Party with DJ Fit spinning from 8 p.m. straight through to 4 a.m. It’s a classic indoor blowout for anyone who wants a tight dance floor, familiar hits, and a guaranteed late finish. Come early, stay late, and bring your best moves.
Staying over? You’re spoiled for choice
Eger’s accommodations run the gamut from baroque apartments to sleek wellness hotels, with plenty tailored to wine lovers and city wanderers. Several modern downtown apartments sit on one of the city’s oldest streets, right under the castle and steps from top restaurants and sights. Three apartments host up to 10 guests total—perfect for groups who want to be in the center of it all with self-catering freedom.
In a romantic twist, a little apartment tucked into the back courtyard of a classic townhouse with a wrought-iron staircase offers a storybook atmosphere, where vintage furnishings do the storytelling. It’s the kind of place that makes the morning-after coffee feel cinematic.
For a quieter base, a guesthouse at 25 Farkasvölgy Street sits in a peaceful garden neighborhood about a 15-minute walk from the historic downtown and the baths. It’s also handy if you’re coming by train, thanks to easy access from the station.
If wellness is on your agenda, a health-forward hotel complex in Eger counts 19 suites, a late-opening gym, a full wellness section, and a bistro. The whole concept is crafted for guests who want active rest, sport, or pure recreation—so you can sweat, soak, and sleep off the confetti with equal dedication.
The Almafa Apartment House has been welcoming guests since 1998 on the edge of the famed Szépasszonyvölgy (Valley of the Beautiful Woman), home to Eger’s most iconic wine cellars. It sits in a quiet garden suburb but keeps you close to both the valley and the city center, so you can float between tasting rooms and town squares with ease.
At 5 Szépasszonyvölgy Street, Amulett Guesthouse places you firmly in the city of thermal waters and top-tier wines. The baroque old town and the thermal and medicinal baths are a 10–15-minute walk away, while the famed wine cellars begin at the end of the street. Location, location, libation.
Aqua Villa serves up a central-city stay with the full Eger essence: hospitality, culinary flair, noble wines, healing waters, refreshment, and relaxation. It’s beside the famous bath complex and just a two-minute stroll from the northern gate of Eger Castle, keeping virtually all major sights within easy walking distance.
The newly built Aranykert Guesthouse waits on a quiet street just minutes from the Basilica, close to the historic center but calm enough for a good night’s sleep. It’s a solid base for those who want quick access to the party but prefer a tucked-away retreat once the music fades.
Bacchus Panzió keeps it simple: elegant and friendly, with pretty, comfortable rooms at reasonable prices. It’s the kind of place where you’ll actually feel like a guest and can recharge in a couple of days—exactly what you want after a long night of clinking glasses.
For peak atmosphere, step into the Golden Baroque Apartment (Arany Barokk Apartman) and Baroque Guesthouse (Barokk Vendégház) in the pedestrianized baroque heart of Eger. Housed in fully renovated 17th-century vaulted buildings, the terrace opens to a one-of-a-kind panorama of Eger Castle. Together, the apartment and guesthouse can host 12 people—ideal for groups chasing that magical, historic-city New Year vibe.
