Budapest 20th Century Historical Walking Tour

Despre activitate

While you will see the main attractions of downtown Budapest, this private tour focuses on their links to 20th-century history and the events that unfolded there.

You will start your walk in a lively city square, then move to the historic Jewish Quarter. You will tour the site of the Jewish ghetto, visit memorial locations, see synagogues, learn about life in Budapest before and during the war and see the quarter's current modern side.

At the end of WWII, Stalin “liberated” Hungary, so under Soviet occupation Hungary was compelled to build communism for 45 years. You’ll visit the last Soviet Memorial and a small exhibition at the Parliament, walk along the river passing the Shoes on the Danube Bank Memorial.

Communism ended in 1989, and Hungary transitioned to capitalism. You'll discuss this journey with your guide as the tour concludes in a coffee shop in downtown Pest. The tour is enriched with archived photos, personal and family memories, and a touch of sarcasm.
