Miskolc:
Miskolc is a city in northeastern Hungary, mainly with heavy industrial background. With a population close to 180,000 Miskolc is the third-largest city of Hungary. It is also the regional center of Northern Hungary. The city is surrounded by the beautiful Bükk Mountains. The most famous tourist attractions are outside the city, but one can find things worth visiting in downtown, too. A quiet suburb of Tapolca provides unique cave thermal spa. Bánkút is a popular ski resort.
Once just a trading town, Miskolc has developed since the 19th century, and in the post-war years, into a major center of heavy industry with giant steelworks, iron foundries and machine tool factories. A number of large electrical firms and paper factories have also set up here. The Technical University of Heavy Industry, which provides training for skilled and management staff, has been sited in Miskolc since 1949.
