Aron's Tips
If you are in Miskolc, do not forget to visit other attractions in Miskolc, such as the Castle of Diosgyor, the Otto Hermann Museum (it is front of the ice-skating stadium) or simply take a walk in the renewed downtown. The trams are really good for a nice sightseeing tour as those are going around and only 2 lines. The number 1 go further, the 2nd to the old Steel Factory.
The tickets are 250HUF if you purchase in advance at a newsagent, 350HUF at the driver.
If you arrive by car, do not forget that parking is not free, you have to use the parking automats,accept only coins! And there are a nice underground parking on the Heroes Square, only a stone throw away from the main street events.
