Private Budapest Hammer & Sickle Communist Times Tour
Overview
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.
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 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.
Visit Budapest's last remaining Soviet monumen and 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 at the memorial of Imre Nagy, the executed prime minister of the 1956 revolution. The tour includes a refreshment break at a retro café
