Eight kilometres west of the centre of Miskolc, the Castle of Diósgyőr is on a spur in the foothills of the Bükk Mountains. This stronghold was adapted by Louis I of Hungary in the mid-14th century, coinciding with the castle’s greatest period. Over the 150 years up to 1526 it was handed down a line of six different queens, which is where the nickn...
A bit further west, in the mountain environment of the Bükk National Park, Lillafüred is an elegant resort developed at the turn of the 20th century. Above the finger-like Hámori Lake is the Palace Hotel, designed in a resplendent neo-Renaissance style in the late-1920s by the architect Kálmán Lux. Flowing down the slope is a sublime terraced garde...
The hanging gardens below the hotel are laid out on themed terraces between the Szinva and Garadna streams. This is also the site of the tallest waterfall in Hungary, at 20 metres high and also manmade. Those terraces on the way up to the Palace Hotel have names like “Terrace of Youth and Meetings”, where there’s a children’s playground and outdoor...
When you regard the idyllic waterfall beside the terrace, it’s hard to believe it’s not natural. These falls only came about in the late-1920s, as the Szinva had to be redirected to make way for the Palace Hotel. Either way, at 20 metres high it’s the highest waterfall in Hungary, and changes with the seasons. In spring there’s a roaring discharge,...
Like a lot of Lillafüred, the lake at the resort is the result of human intervention, and was formed when the Szinva and Garadna streams were dammed in the early 19th century to provide an iron furnace with a steady water supply. The lake is 1.5 kilometres long, bending between the high wooded valley sides. On the eastern shore by the resort there’...
Named in honour of the 19th-century polymath Ottó Herman, this multi-branch museum is the largest in the city and its collections have been assembled across the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. The main building is the grand hall on Görgey Utca, with galleries dedicated to Hungarian painting from Baroque to Art Nouveau, exhibited in chronological order...
Under the same umbrella, the Pannon Sea Museum was revamped in 2013 with two new exhibitions, and takes you on a journey back to the days of the prehistoric Pannonian Sea. Most of modern day Hungary was submerged beneath this body of water in the Miocene and Pliocene Epochs up to two million years ago. With a fun but educational tone, the museum te...
Raised at the turn of the 19th century in the late-Baroque Zopf style, Miskolc’s Orthodox Church has the largest Iconostasis in Central Europe. This remarkable creation, trimmed with marble and gold Solomonic columns, is 16 metres high and has 88 paintings from the Life of Jesus. All but four of these were painted by the Austrian Anton Kuchelmeiste...
Miskolc’s oldest monument is a Reformation church on the lower slopes of the Avas Hill in the centre of the city. The church was founded in 13th century, and that first Romanesque building was enlarged as a late-Gothic German-style hall church in the 15th century. Decades later the church lost its roof during the Ottoman occupation in 1544. As this...

There are seven indoor pools, including a hydro-massage pool, enclosed by the cave’s bare limestone walls and with naturally heated water at temperatures ranging between 29 ...

- THE MISKOLC CITY PASS. Confession: In all our months of travel, we've never once bought a city pass. I'm not really sure why but it only took a quick glance at the perks of the Miskolc Pass for the budget traveller in me to recognize what a bargain it is.
