📋 Tour details
The way it was, comrade! This tour takes you back in time to explore life during 50 years of Communism and Big Brother's control.
Get a comprehensive overview of Hungary’s communist era. Learn about child-rearing, family life, travel restrictions, and life behind the Iron Curtain. Discover the challenges of getting a passport and delve into aspects like black markets and banana lines.
You will walk along the river to visit World War II-era Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial.
We’ll explore the history of the Communist government appointed after World War II, whose policies led to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The tour provides an overview and highlights major locations where significant events unfolded.
We'll visit Liberty Square to see Budapest's last remaining Soviet monument. Our journey then takes us to the Hungarian Parliament, where the first shots of the 1956 revolution were fired—we'll also explore the related exhibition there.
You will pass the "White House," the former party headquarters, and end near Margaret Bridge at the memorial of Imre Nagy, the executed prime minister of the 1956 revolution.
