What travelers are saying
- jbournemdMammoth Lakes, CA14 contributionsThis was a great tour to take on a rainy day. As a medical professional, I very much appreciated seeing the historical nature of trauma medical care in a bunker. It was brought to “life” by many wax figures of doctors, nurses, and patients. The tour is structured — no one is not allowed to wander through by oneself. Part of the tour is a section of the cave system used as a nuclear bunker with an exhibit on Hiroshima.Written May 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luka P2 contributionsIts a pretty big gallery with a lot of art pieces, mostly from the last 2 centuries. I spent 3 hours seeing everything.
I feel like its not organized the best and the another issue I have is that for people who are not part of the EU (people under 26) have to pay the regular price, there is no discount. This sucked because im a student and 4200HUF, around 12EUR, was actually kind of expensive for me.
Worth seeing if you you have the time but its not a must, the museum next ti this one, castle museum, in my opinion is betterWritten April 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was blown away by the original paintings, drawings and sculptures. So glad we stopped by!Written May 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ingrid9597Westchester County, NY254 contributionsIt is not very large so doable and you will see and learn.

- Andrej PMaribor, Slovenia30 contributionsIt gives you many informations about the history of city and castle it self. Maybe it could be more modern, more interactive.Written November 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lynsey SWest Timperley, UK102 contributionsThis is a great museum about the history of Hungarian music and instruments and their manufacture. The museum is only small but there is a lot in it.
I think it's easily missed as it's slightly hidden away beyond Matthias Church, which is sad.Written May 31, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a whole part of the labyrinth that’s in complete darkness. Not for claustrophobics AND not for people with any kind of respiratory problems. I have a mild form I asthma and I couldn’t breath in there! It’s full of humidity and mold! This place is not being well taken care of. I was running trying to get out and get some fresh air.Written January 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lynsey SWest Timperley, UK102 contributionsThis is an interesting historical medical museum on the Buda side of the Danube with a huge collection of artefacts.
The only downside most of the in depth explanations are only in HungarianWritten May 31, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Once you get through all that you open the door to a spectacular room. The main reading room is huge. The detail and workmanship that went into this is obvious.
If you are a fan of interesting buildings, architecture, old books and really big ladders you should stop by.
Tripadvisor said it opens at 9am…. I got there at 945 and it didn't open till 10am so checkWritten May 16, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol A SMarietta, GA4,202 contributionsNational Archives of Hungary contains records from 1000 years of Hungarian history. The Archives was established in 1756 in Pozsony (then the capital of Hungary), moved to Buda in 1784 and relocated to its present (main) building in 1923. The massive neo-Gothic building has rounded window arches, embellished gables and beautiful colored roof tiles. The main entrance is a neo-Gothic porch, with receding arches supported by slender columns. The interior has neo-Gothic elements such as pointer groin vaults, colored tile work and frescoes of medieval knights and saints. Unfortunately, the Archives were severely damaged during WW II (1944-45) and the 1956 uprising, but the building was restored. The Archives are open 8.30am – 5.45pm (Tues-Thurs) and close early at 2pm on Mon. and Fri. There is no entry fee.Written February 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
