We went to Miskolc to see the thermal caves and the castle. The castle and the caves was closed. Lillafured was nice though. Had a bad experience on the V1 train/tram though. We travelled as a family of 4 from South Africa. We purchased Hungary Travel Passes upfront to make it easy to travel. It is also affordable for a 30 day pass. We were under the impression that we could use the Hungary Pass on all urban transport within Hungary. It certainly worked well in Budapest. We arrived at about 12h30 in Miskolc and immediately boarded the V1 train/tram to Lillafured. We only spent 2 nights in Miskolc. At about 13h20 an inspector came around on the V1 tram/train and asked for our tickets. We showed him our Hungary Passes. He was very agro and intimidating and treated us like criminals. He could only say fine and police in English. We immediately had to pay 24000 ft as a fine. We would gladly have paid the correct ticket had we known. A young man stepped closed who assited as an interpreter. The inspector did not want to listen to any reason. We did not know that we had to buy another ticket and besides all notices concerning public transport in Miskolc is in Hungarian. My kids were quite traumatised by the event since they never received a fine in their life. We just feel that the situation could have been handled diferently and a bit more civilised. There should be more assistance for tourists in this regard. I will not go to Miskolc again. Bad experience

There was a holiday going while I visited Miskolc sothe shops etc were mostly closed. A nice enough toinen to voisit though it seemed a bit quiet one. It was a bit difficult to find the center of the tien when I started from the train station In bus station the system was confusibg. There were Electronic displays for departing busses but they were apparently not updated. The staff there sermed not to be too service oriented

We were puzzled with the city: it has a long history, but its landscape is dominated by the industry. There is a medieval castle, but it was closed at the time of our visit due to …. reconstruction! I really don’t want to see it after it is done, a very peculiar approach to historical monuments. On the other hand, we enjoyed a visit at Avas tower offering a nice view of the city plus a good coffee and drink bar. We skipped the local museum and went to Bukki National Park, which was a wonderful experience.

Surprisingly great city, pleasant city center and surroundings, starting point for trips to the Beech Mountains, beautiful waterfalls and caves in Lillafüred, an excellent cave spa in Miskolc-Tapolca. Within driving distance of Tokaj, Eger and more.
