Communist Budapest Walking Tour
This thematic tour is recommended for those who are interested in the second part of 20th-century history.
Hungary was maybe the most special part of the Eastern block at the time. Between the true "red" countries and the still free Austria, we were called the happiest barrack.
How could this country have a Communist/Socialist regime and Coca Cola at the same time?
If you want to get acquainted with personal stories about history, religion, holidays, school, shopping, media, housing, and everyday life, come for an easy walk in the Pest downtown. You will be strolling in an elegant area with lots of hidden memories to be discovered!

Stop At: Szabadsag Ter, Budapest 1054 Hungary
The highlight of the tour is the soviet memorial at Szabadság Square. Let's figure out why it is still there.

Hungary's anti-communist revolution of 1956 is also featured at Kossuth Square right in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building with reference to our infamously crushed uprising. Our last stop will be at the old headquarters of the secret service, where we’ll discuss their methods and significance in the system, and of course, I will tell the most interesting spy stories of the era.
