Miskolc, Industrial metropolis in northeastern Hungary.
Miskolc sits in northeastern Hungary where the Szinva Valley meets the foothills of the Bükk Mountains. The old town spreads along the river while newer districts climb the gentle slopes.
The settlement received the right to hold markets from King Louis I in 1365 and grew in trade. During Ottoman times in the 16th century it became an important center for wine production.
The name comes from the Slavic word for bear cave and points to early settlement in the region. Today residents use the spacious Népkert Park for walks and outdoor events.
The city center is easy to explore on foot while trams connect the more distant districts. A visit in summer offers more opportunities for outdoor activities in the surrounding mountains.
The first stone theater in Hungary stands here and still hosts regular performances in its historical hall. An opera festival takes place in summer with artists participating from several countries.
