1. Let’s start our walk in Eszterházy Square. Here we can find the one and only neoclassic-styled building in the town: the Eger Cathedral (or Basilica), which is the second biggest church in Hungary. In summer you can listen to a remarkable organ concert here every day. (see: Guaranteed programmes).

. If you are standing opposite the Basilica, on the right side you can find the Archbishop’s Palace, which has been the residency of the Archbishop of Eger since 1804. In the northern wing of the building the Archiepiscopal Collection Centre (the most beautiful and valuable masterpieces of the treasury of the archbishopric) can be found, (see: Museums, Exhibitions)

3. Opposite the Basilica, the Líceum, one of the most impressive buildings of the city can be found, which was built m late-Baroque style by Count Károly Eszterházy. The Líceum was intended to be a university, but the empress, Maria Theresa, decided that Eger should not be given university rank, and classed Eger as a Líceum, a Gradd 3 institution. Today this is a TeachersTraining College. On the first floor of the building you’ll find the famous diocesan library. Several medieval codices, manuscripts and the only Mozart-letter can be found in Hungary are in the collection.

In the 5*3 m high tower of the building the Observatory Museum and the "Specula" Periscope are also unique, (see: Museums, Exhibitions)

rt. Let’s continue our walk on Kossuth Street, which is full of fine 18th-c. buildings. You should note the beautiful wrought iron decoration on the front of the buildings. The most important buildings are: Provost Minor’s Palace, Franciscan Church, Provost Major’s Palace.
