Overview

Explore the beautiful city of Budapest on this private walking tour that will take you through the country’s political past: the Revolutions of the 1800s, the Nazi Occupation, followed by Soviet Liberation then the rise and fall of Communism, and the birth of democracy in 1989. For decades, Hungarians lived behind the Iron Curtain. This tour will lift the curtain for you.

Walk down hidden backstreets, see statues and memorials dedicated to political freedom fighters like Imre Nagy – a politician who turned on the Soviets, leading the 1956 Revolution, for which he was captured, tortured and executed. See the awe-inspiring Neo-Gothic Parliament building, and walk Liberty Square dedicated to memorializing Hungary’s past.

End your tour outside the House of Terror Museum (entrance tickets included), where your guide will leave you to explore the exhibitions about the Nazi and Communist regimes, and memorials to victims of those regimes, at your own pace.
