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)

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.

About Budapeste

Budapeste une a colinosa Buda e a plana Peste sobre o Danúbio: termas, palácios ribeirinhos e animados ruin bars.

No lado de Buda, a Colina do Castelo reúne o Castelo de Buda, a Igreja de Matias e as torretas brancas do Bastião dos Pescadores, todos a olhar para o rio. A Ponte das Correntes atravessa para Peste, onde o Parlamento húngaro se estende ao longo da margem e a Basílica de Santo Estêvão se ergue a poucas ruas para o interior. A colina Gellért e a sua Cidadela dão as vistas mais amplas.
