I want to explore the city

Historic city centre, Avas and its wine cellars, theatre and museums — Miskolc reveals its layers, one by one.

Miskolc's stories aren't always where you'd expect to find them

Exploring Miskolc is best done with a sense of curiosity. The historic city centre's buildings and courtyards, the Avas hill rising above the city, the centuries-old wine cellars, the theatre, the museums, and the memories of the city's various eras layer upon layer tell the story of how Miskolc became the city you see today as you walk its streets.

Look beyond the facades, climb higher, step through a gate – discover Miskolc!

Start in the city centre, stroll among the historic buildings, and then climb up to Avas. The Avas Reformed Church and its surroundings bear witness to several centuries of Miskolc's history, and just a few minutes' walk away, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the Avas Lookout, with the Bükk Mountains forming a stunning backdrop. Beneath and along the slopes of Avas lies the historic wine cellar district, one of Miskolc's most unique treasures. As you wander among the cellars, you'll uncover a part of the city that you might not have expected to find above the city centre.

The Miskolc National Theatre, the city's museums, galleries, and cultural venues add even more stories to your journey of discovery. And if you'd like a behind-the-scenes glimpse and to hear tales you wouldn't encounter on a simple city walk, choose from the Miskolc Secrets experience programmes!
