Centuries-old cellars and the heritage of Miskolc's wine culture: The Avasi wine cellar district

The bustling city centre is quickly replaced by the calmer, nature-infused atmosphere of the Avas. The narrow streets of the Avasi wine cellar district, its centuries-old cellars and press houses reveal a unique world that tells the story of Miskolc's former wine trade and production. The area is home to nearly 800 cellars, whose histories are closely intertwined with the city's development. The memories of the former entertainment district, its literary connections, and personal stories further enrich the experience.
