Salgotarjan
Nógrád · Hungary
This county-seat town in the forested hills of north-eastern Hungary, Salgótarján sits within the Novohrad-Nógrád UNESCO Global Geopark and offers access to two castle ruins — including the well-known Salgó Castle — along with hiking through the Cserhát hills. The town centre has a walkable café scene, though its architecture reflects a largely modern communist-era rebuild rather than a classical historic core.
