Communist Budapest Walking Tour

Højdepunkter

Inkluderet

Rute

1. Traveling by subway to Kossuth Square in front of Parliament, we explore monuments from the 1956 revolution, before continuing to Liberty Square where we discuss aspects of the Cold War before the US Embassy, the monument to the Soviet Army, the statue of Ronald Reagan and an atomic shelter.

   25 min

2. We conclude outside the House of Terror, the imposing museum housed in the former headquarters of the communist secret services with a slab of the Berlin Wall in front. (Although the exhibit within is not included in the tour, this is the perfect endpoint for those interested in delving deeper into Hungary’s Cold War experience)

   15 min

3. Dropping by the former People’s Stadium (now Puskas Soccer Stadium), with classic socialist realist statues still standing, we can explore the heavy-handed propaganda favored by the regime.

   20 min

4. Discover the Ronald Reagan statue and the Hungarian sense of obligation to this US president for his efforts to bring down the Iron Curtain.

   10 min

5. Explore Bem József Square, where the first big demonstration of the 1956 uprising started. On the square is also a coffeehouse that has retained its original interior from the 1960s.

About Budapest

Budapest forener bakkede Buda og flade Pest over Donau, en storslået hovedstad med termiske bade, paladser ved floden og livlige ruinbarer.

På Buda-siden rummer Borgbakken Budaborgen, Matthiaskirken og Fiskerbastionens hvide tårne, der alle kigger ned på floden. Kædebroen krydser til Pest, hvor det ungarske Parlament strækker sig langs bredden, og Sankt Stefans Basilika rejser sig få gader inde i landet. Gellértbjerget og dets Citadella giver den videste udsigt.
