Egri Road – Beatles Museum is located in the heart of the historic town of Eger. Guests can get a glimpse of the life and career of the band by up-to-date technical solutions. Newsreels are played and the songs of the band can be listened to, whereas contemporary publications, garments and rarities are displayed. Games and photo-taking activities take the visitors back to the legendary sixties.

Even if this museum was in London or Liverpool it would be impressive. The owner, 50 something, began his collection at age 9. There is a very well-done 12 minute documentary before you begin your self-guided tour. We took our two children (3 and 6) and they loved it. You can play guitar, listen to music, watch videos and just gaze at all the cool Beatles stuff.

This town was so interesting---MANY shops, cafes, etc. It was a surprise to find the Ceramic Museum in this little town---quite impressive, well done and very classy. I was intrigued with it. We had already visited Budapest and wanted to find a new location of interest---this was perfect!
9. Hungarian Open Air Museum (Szabadteri Neprajzi Muzeum)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 196 reviews
The 50-year-old Skanzen is the biggest open air museum of Hungary and is situated at the foot of the Pilis Mountains, on the territory of a nature reserve. On the 60 hectares 312 buildings can be visited, all organised into regional units. The unique flora and fauna of the Museum makes its natural surroundings special too. The permanent exhibitions of the Skanzen take the visitors back to the rural countryside of 100-200 years ago, where walking among old buildings settled in a traditional settlement pattern, visitors have the unique experience of folk architecture, interior furnishings and way of life. Weekdays and holidays come to life in yards, houses, barns, workshops and churches: the housekeeper is busy in the kitchen, the miller pours grain to the mill-hopper, animals are loud in the farmyard and a bell calls the pupils to the village school.

Quite a big park with Hungarian houses from different parts of Hungary from the past. Many activities for kids, like candle making or other "do-it-yourself" activities, open-air games kids used to play before electronic gadgets appeared. There are several points where you can buy something to eat (soup, sausages) or snacks (cakes with different fillings at the "bakery", cookies). We've got an impression that one half of the park (left one if you look at the map of the park) is animated much more than another – or maybe it is because we visited another part in the second part of the day. In this second part we even did not find a place to buy a snack – only beverages were proposed or remained. The web-site does not provide a clear indication how to get to the park from the Szentendre railway station: the "local bus" schedule is from 2017 (it looks like it is still valid though) and the bus was leaving from 6th stop and not 7th (it is better to ask at the cash desk while buying the tickets for the bus). The visit takes the whole day and the park leaves a very good impression.
10. Visegrad Citadel

The historic stronghold, built between 1245-1255 A.D., guarded the Royal Crown for more than 200 years.
Reviewed By OZS_ATW - Budapest, Hungary
We visited the Visegrad Citadel by car on a sunny weekday. Parking was easy, it costs HUF 300 per hour. The parking area was limited. The citadel is an absolute must to see. You cannot get that view of the River Danube anywhere else! :-)
