Hollókő

Take the M3 motorway from Budapest as far as Hatvan, then take route 21. Before Pásztó the road branches off towards Hollókő. Journey time is 1½-2 hours.
There is a bus from Budapest leaving from Puskás Ferenc Stadion
departure 08:30, arrival 11:00 (also there is a bus afternoon around 17:00). It leaves Hollókő at 16:00, arriving in Budapest at 18:30.
More buses going to Szécsény town.
Eger might be close to Hollókő, but it's not a really good place to start your journey to Hollókő if you plan to go by public transport. There is no train, and you need 3 buses that are going to take a total of 4½ hours to get there. (Eger information centre can help for time table and details.) Prefer a departure from Budapest or Gödöllő.

On foot. This is a small village, with one street, on both sides museum houses and craft shops. Make sure you visit all of them. From the main road of the village leading up to the hill, you will also find a pathway to the Holloko castle. With only 20 minutes hike you will find yourself on the top of the hill with breathtaking scenery.
