Hammer & Sickle Communist Tour – 3-3.5 hours


The way it was, Comrade! Your private tour to communism and more!


Go back to the good old times when we drove Trabants, drank spirits at work, lived in block flats, stood in Banana Lines, had two passports, coupon books, no TV on Mondays and no freedom of speech!

On the tour we go out to the famous outdoor Statue Park (where we put all the communist statues after our change in 1990) for a guided tour learning the symbolism of the statues from Lenin, Marx and Engels, Friendships’ and “liberations.” We cover the ideas behind them and where they were placed in the city and for what reasons.  Also at the park we will visit some exhibitions of communism related themes that is ever changing along with a real Trabant car that was originally designed to be a covered motorcycle and became a trademark as the “Hungarian family car!”  

Also included on the tour is our own private exhibition room.  Where we will introduce you to the real features of a Hungarian home through relics to typical furniture and furnishings.  Furthermore we have an extensive collection of many communist related relics, such as red and blue passports, party member’s registration book, pins, medals, currency and huge placards to help your understanding of the propaganda we once lived in!
