Høydepunkter

In this tour, you'll receive a comprehensive overview of Hungary's communist era. Learn about how children were raised, family life, travel restrictions, and what life was like behind the Iron Curtain. Discover the lengthy process to acquire a passport and experience intriguing aspects of the time, from black markets to banana lines. We'll explore the history of the Communist government appointed after World War II, whose policies led to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

About Budapest

Budapest forener kuperte Buda og flate Pest over Donau, en staselig hovedstad med termiske bad, palasser ved elven og livlige ruinbarer.

På Buda-siden rommer Slottsberget Budaborgen, Matthiaskirken og Fiskerbastionens hvite tårn, som alle ser ned på elven. Kjedebroen krysser til Pest, der det ungarske parlamentet strekker seg langs bredden og Sankt Stefans basilika reiser seg noen få kvartaler inn i landet. Gellértberget og dets Citadella gir den videste utsikten.

Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
