Eger Fortress Day

To celebrate the 450th anniversary of the siege, in 2002 the fortress hosted a number of special programmes culminating on October 17, which was thus inaugurated the annual Eger Fortress Day. Every year, the fortress awaits visitors with various special events and celebrations. The museum opens its doors to all visitors, free of charge. In addition, areas that are usually restricted or closed off are open to the public, including that Turkish garden and King Imre’s (St. Emmerich’s) grave.

Children are invited to participate in hands-on crafts and games (such as glass painting, designing coats of arms, solving historical puzzles, and playing memory games), and all are invited to view the special shows (including arms displays, puppet shows, a concert, and traditional crafts).
