This tour was great. The tour guide, Lorinc , was awesome. Even though I was the only one, he gave the best tour around the city. Very knowledgeable of all the monuments and areas of interests. Even stopped and treated me to my first Chimney cake, a Hungarian staple. After the tour, he also gave me recommendations of other places to see that was not apart of the tour. Definitely recommend for first time visitors. Get Lorinc as your guide… you won’t be disappointed!
House of Terror Museum: Born Under the Red Star Tour
About: House of Terror Museum
Terror Haza, or House of Terror in English, is one of the best museums in Budapest. Detailing the painful histories of Communist and Fascist regimes in Hungary, the museum is home to powerful exhibits and memorials.
House of Terror tickets allow visitors to experience the building's chillingly reconstructed cellars, where ordinary Hungarians who opposed the status quo were tortured and murdered. It's an unflinching look at the country's political atrocities, but also a reminder that Hungary's freedom fighters didn't die in vain.
Located in the heart of the city, Budapest Pinball Museum is a great escape from the usual tourist attractions. It has up to 150 playable pinball machines from the 1800s through to today.
Also known as The Great Synagogue or Tabakgasse Synagogue, Dohány Street Synagogue was built in 1859. It's located in Erzsébetváros, in Budapest's 7th district. The synagogue boasts elements of both Romantic and Moorish architecture and is also home to the Hungarian Jewish Museum and the Holocaust Memorial Room.
This magnificent synagogue, seating 3,000 people, is the biggest in Europe and the second biggest in the world.
The Hungarian Parliament is considered to be one of the most beautiful parliamentary buildings in the world, with almost 18,000 square meters of unprecedented majesty spread across four magnificent floors.
