Quite concrete fake, maybe in the past was nice, now its not renovation, but building of completely new castle like Disneyland. Such a shame…

Beautiful castle with an incredible feel. What made this worth the visit was the professional tour guide who played the part in traditional Knight costume. He delivered a knowledgeable brief passionately and answered questions thoroughly. Great day out! Looking forward to visiting when the jousting and other entertainment is on in the future!

This is one of the best historical place especially in Miskolc. The facilities are really great even for people having disabilities can enter to the castle. At some times, there are theatrical and historical attraction. The information of castle history given in touch screen in various languages. Tourists from all over the world are really recommended to visit this place.

Very nice castle. There are lot of different chambers to visit, especially I recommend this one with spices in which you can feel the smell of different herbs and etc. Staff is very friendly. In chambers you can find descriptions, some simple puzzle games and lot of different interesting things. Definitely you must visit if you're nearby Miskolc.

The catle with its expositions are in very good conditions offering a lot of facts and subjects well organized in rooms which are every of them focusing on some specific part of activity. Nice peace of history. Very professional staff. Highly recommend.

The castle looks splendid and nice, and is kept in a very good way. We got a discount on the tickets and the kids were free. There were not much to see inside the castle but it was still good to kill some time with the kids and take photos. It is still worthy to visit.

If you're in the Miskolc area this is definitely worth a visit. It's one of the nicest castles I've seen in Hungary; this medieval castle was a favourite holiday residence of Hungarian kings and queens. The castle was renovated between April 2012 and 2014 and instead of a historic castle ruin, visitors can now visit an old, remodeled castle. The castle features a special feature of informal cognition; the visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval castle freely, trying all of the things. In addition to the interactive content, reenactors dressed in timeless outfits, as well as spaces on the ground floor that showcase everyday life, contribute to the atmosphere. As a quick reference for the origin of the name: Dió means walnut, referring to the abundant walnut trees in the area. Győr is an archaic version of the word gyűrű, meaning "ring". It probably refers to the rounded shape of the first castle erected on the hill. The first castle was probably built in the 12th century, but destroyed during the Mongol invasion. The castle that stands today was most likely erected in the times of King Béla IV, in the 13th century. The castle had its prime during the reign of Louis I (Louis the Great). In 1364 the nearby town Miskolc was annexed to the Diósgyőr estate. Diósgyőr lost some of its importance when the political union between Hungary and Poland ended. In 1596, the Ottomans occupied the area; Diósgyőr remained under Turkish occupation, ruled by the Pasha of Eger until 1687, when this part of the country was freed from Turkish rule. By this time the castle lost all of its military importance.

We visited during a reenactment, and it was a blast. The schedule we found of events was not followed that I could tell, and with the children under four, that can be a challenge. The food was terrific and the events were fun. The area where the held most events were too crowded. Nevertheless we had fun, as we said saw knights and the various displays in the castle. The stairs up to the towers were treacherous...haha, but the view was worth it (carrying kids up the tower was not).

Beautiful little natural area north west from Eger. Popular with motorcyclists

It's a beautiful park and quite a walk, so I would suggest taking the train up and then leisurely walk your way back to the entrance. Do not rush. Give 3-4 hours to soak in the atmosphere as there's quite a lot to see.

Amazing and wonderful place, you can see a lot and hike well

We wandered away from the main area and followed the water for 2 km down and did a loop , just beautiful here , the bird song is amazing , we couldn't catch the train as we only had visa cards, so if you visit here have the right currency for drinks , or cable car / train

Both from Eger city & Miskolc city (for example) are great to ride, cycling into/across the amazing mountains of Bukk Nat. Park! :) Cycling routes are not everywhere, so if you are not enough confident on the roads, then go with your car until Szilvasvarad (village), where you can start your more relaxing ride without almost any traffic.;) Road bikes are OK to use in Bukk but if you don't want to watch/care much about potholes on the smaller roads, go with mountain bike, or cross bike, gravel bike, enjoy!;)

Great place for hiking and mountain biking. Moderate heights and elevations Lillafüred pretty mountain village with some good infrastructure with many places to dine and nice lake.

Plenty of beautiful places in the nature, however I recommend choosing a different path from the standard ones, because the way to the big lake along with the trout stalls or the Ancient men's cave were quite crowded. In contrast, the Italian Gates were still and peaceful.

I love this place and it is one of the reasons I still live in Miskolc. It's a great place for outdoor activities all year round (hiking, running, cycling, cross-country skiing, also rock climbing). There are peaceful forests and meadows, caves to explore and wonderful vistas from its many peaks. The only reason why I don't give 5 stars is the extent of human intervention. It's a crying shame how they clear hillsides of forests in an area that is supposed to be a protected national park. If that ever changes, it will be paradise on earth.

We took a train from the town center(I think every half hour or an hour is scheduled to leave from the centre Szilvásvárad and walked back to our car on a road trip from Eger .It is a charming place and we will definitely be visiting again to reconnect with nature

This train ride is must! We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it. Especially if you have kids.

Half of the railway is temporary closed but you must pay the same fee for it. There was no information in town about it even in the information office. The view is really nothing special especially for its price. Mostly covered by trees and garbage.

We came from far away, they didn’t even let us into the territory 👎

If you or your kids like trains (mine are obsessed), than you cannot go wrong. The longer the better! The trip to Garadna is rather uneventful with only a small snack area and a couple of trail heads, but a fun overall experience.

Lovely routes and well maintained old trains. But the tickets are quite expensive

It's fun for kids, but personally I did not feel anything extraordinary about this route, especially when we compare with any other scenic train routes in Europe.

Very unique style of the wooden -open air train , running through the wood forests up to the hill . Most recommended

Fully renovated and - as others already shared - only going until Garadna. There is a pretty nice playground. For families with kids a nice round trip.

THIS IS NOT DEPARTURE STATION!!! Unfortunately, we have been deceived by the number of reviews this place had. This is only train's depo. Tram personel sent us all the way to Dorottya utca where the train starts the journey, despite the fact that it also stops on the other side of the road, some 200m away. That has costed us 45mins. Now to the actual service. In my perspective it looks like they don't really want tourists to use the train. Departure station is virtually unfindable on the map. Lady selling tickets only speaks Hungarian. All signs are in Hungarian only. There is no map of the railway, no map of stops. Price is high. I am not surprised that the train was only half-full in high-season. Back to positives. Departure station has toilets. The ride was great. It is impressive how steep of an angle this train can climb. Open wagons really improve the experience. Kids were in full attention. To help you navigate, departure station is named "Láev Dorottya utca Végállomás" in Google Maps. The stop next to this place is called "LÁEV Majláth úti megálló".

Nice clean place enjoyable environment. Easy guide through the map. Wide range of animals kept clean and looked healthy I was happy to see that. There is some new additions since my last visit I will always return. Staff polite and friendly. You can buy animal food at the entrance in the gift shop. 😊

Absolutely amazing place to visit! Miskolc Zoo is a zoological garden located in Miskolc, Hungary. It is home to over 500 animals representing more than 100 species, including big cats, primates, birds, reptiles, and various other animals from around the world. The zoo is involved in various conservation and educational activities and has been a member of several international breeding programs for endangered species. visitors can enjoy guided tours, animal feeding, and other interactive experiences.

The worst ZOO I have ever seen. Very little animals, lots of them are in bad condition. No paths - just mud. Just one small shop near entrance. Very little of benches, they are all old. But for me the worst thing was lack of good animals healthcare!!! This ZOO doesn't reach heels the Nyriegyhaza ZOO which is one of the best in Europe.

The place was very good for family and kids. Good range of animals and very different from Budapest or Debrecen Zoo as it's more a feel to walk inside forest and animals and seen more near. People at entrance are very kind, specially those at souvenir shop they gave free lockers to keep our luggage it's important as in zoo there is no trolley for rent. Use miskolc 24 hour or 72 hour pass which is always cheap and best

Great little Zoo. We have yearly tickets and we visit at least every week. The animals have a lot of space and they are well taken care of. It's never crowded. Very peaceful.

Well, it was the first time going to the zoo (I know 😔). I was there for about an hour and some minutes. The walk up? Beautiful and took about 15 minutes from the trolley stop. I don't know how much you guys pay cause I had bought the Miskolc tourist pass/card thingie. I don't know how to compare this zoo as it was my first ever visit. It was okay. I was heart broken by the tigers (honestly, I was an emotional wreak), the bears were cute (of course) but the staff was not really smiley smiley (does it make sense?) but I sort of enjoyed it

Even in the winter season, a lot of animals could be seen. The zoo doesn't seem large but you can easily walk around for at least two hours. Feeding time is around 1pm, and I recommend following the path of the small truck to get a close look of the feeding animals by the fences. The tickets are pretty cheap too.

Beautiful animals just a step away. The place is not overburdened. You can sit down nearly every corner either to rest or to eat. There are houses to take cover in case of rain. All in all it is cool!

Small but really good zoo with exotic animals. Ticket isn't expensive and you can spend here around +3 hours

Cool little zoo, you can have a good time. I recommend for families with kids. Very affordable price. Generally cool - I recommend it. Staff doesn't speak English only Hungarian, makes a hassle in ticket office.

Very nice one .
