What travelers are saying
- Cara R3 contributionsIt was incredibly interesting and a very unique experience. I highly recommend it. It was great that the tour lasted an hour so we could get on with our day without it feeling like it consumed the holiday. Really great, emotional displays and an incredibly sad history. Good value for money and an impressive tour with lots to see. It was incredible how many real items were there and seeing the actual machines and items used in real life. The wax figurines were of high quality and tastefully done. The medical helicopter and jeep were excellent surprises. My only criticism is that our tour was off to a bad start because the guide just walked off with the group and left us and no one had said how to access the lockers or what we needed to put in. We were struggling to use them as we needed a Euro but we had HUF only in Notes and the sign at the entrance said no jackets but bags ok but we later realised this meant no coats in the lockers!!! No-one helped us and it was very embarrassing. We had to catch up with the rest of the group inside the underground hospital having missed some of the introduction and the elderly staff member seemed really annoyed with us for not knowing what to do. Two of them just watched us struggle with frustration. As we had booked an English speaking tour, someone should have said this is where you can put your belongings and this is what you need to put in. However, the overall experience saved itself.Written January 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nellie1londonLondon, UK242 contributionsAmazing value and such great fun
Felt like a child
Some of the machines I haven’t seen and played on since I was a kid and it’s not just pinball, there was air guitars, asteroids, Pac-Man as well as hockey etc
Loved it

- gteran76Miami, FL107 contributionsI’m a wine collector and have gone to multiple wine regions, tastings and wineries. While in Budapest I search for places to discover some local wines and found this place with great reviews.
So we came without previous reservation, around 2pm. Finding the actual cellar is challenging, you have to go through several stairs and salons until you get down into the lower part inside the Hilton Hotel.
Gabor was our sommelier, I like very much his fun attitude as well as his passion and knowledge about wine, he is a real asset for the place.
The wines were fairly good, one in particular was the favor of all of us, and I think the price of €22 per person is reasonable for the experience.
We like it so much that we’re coming back 2 days later but we had to cancel. Anyways we’ll be back in the near future…Written January 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I really liked that it explored all of the different groups persecuted by the Nazis. Emotive, but reliable exhibitions. The staff are also very friendly!Written October 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tin!16 contributionsThis place is very colorful and filled with history of living in the Jewish area of Budapest. Very worth the visit.Written October 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- thomas h2 contributionsThis museum is a hidden gem and a must visit in Budapest. You can also enjoy the exquisite city view from the attic. On top of it all, it is free!!!Written October 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DarrenHenmanBiggleswade, UK350 contributionsWe took the Children's railway to the top, had a pleasant walk in the woods and got the chairlift down which gives great views of Budapest in the distance.
Very good.Written November 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We came with a gift coupon, took part with a group of 15-20 people. It was wholesome.

- Mike HPhoenix, AZ2,036 contributionsWe saw this place on the tour of the Castle District and returned when it was over. This is a small place but they had a short magic show and then a small museum. It is worth the visit.Written January 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- VickstarWorcester, UK114 contributionsWe took a bus out of the city centre out to Memento Park to see this quirky collection of over 40 statutes, busts and plaques from Hungary's communist period. It was really quiet when we visited which meant we were able to really enjoy the place without too many people. I would highly recommend buying the guide to the park so you can read about the monuments that you are looking at. An interesting hour's visit to a fascinating collection and worth the excursion out of the city.Written November 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GCKJALincoln, NE499 contributionsIn the summertime, this place is PACKED with people - almost all Hungarian. This isn't a super-touristy thing to do. It's far from the city center, but it's absolutely worth it!
We walked through the park and made our way up to the tower and then took the chair lift down. The walk is not tiring, but relaxing as the trail winds and curves through the park. There are several fantastic playgrounds for kids.
Once you reach the chair lift, you can walk or take stairs to the tower and the view is absolutely worth it!
Be sure to buy a chimney cake (kurtoskalacs) for your trip down the hillside.Written February 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KKCopenhagen, Denmark227 contributionsInteresting museum, about the old Roman settlement ruins next to the Sziget island. It has a small indoor museum with different artifacts from the ruins, and a larger outdoor one with larger objects. There are various information signs around the area, that explain what type of building the ruin once was.
It is worth spending a few hours. There is a children offer at the last Sunday of each month at a reduced price. Check out their own website for updated info.Written April 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A church carved out the cave, there are quite a few things to look at, with different chapels allocated in the space. I especially liked the chapel with the wood carvings. You’ll see it as you cross the Liberty bridge.Written July 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
