Eger's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Eger Castle and Minaret, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Valley of Beautiful Women — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
