House of Terror Museum: Born Under the Red Star Tour
About this experience
On this half-day journey into Hungary's not-so-distant past, you'll hear stories, both sad and uplifting, about Budapest's communist history.
Visit communist-era cafés, and thrift shops selling retro artifacts. See surviving monuments, reminders of life under hammer and sickle. Delve into a history you can barely imagine through an English-speaking guide's native perspective.
Your tour includes entry to the House of Terror, a frightening but necessary reminder of the horrors faced by ordinary Hungarians during Fascist and Communist rule.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
