1956. Hungarian revolution commemorate tour

Private tour in Budapest

Tour Price : 220 USD Duration : half day tour Languages: English, Italian

This guided tour in Budapest is very special, as far as it commemorates the Hungarian revolution of 1956. As the matter of fact Budapest owes its name to the revolution of 1956. This revolution was absolutely unexpected by anybody. It began as a simple student demonstration, but soon it attracted thousands of people all over Hungary, and consequently the government fell quite soon. 

This revolution has become one of the main important events of the Cold War, which showed that the USSR was ready to support the Warsaw Pact by means of its military forces. In spite of the initial success, the revolt was soon suppressed by the Soviet troops. As a result of the Hungarian Revolution more than 700 Soviet soldiers and approximately 2500 Hungarians were killed, and over 200000 Hungarians became refugees. As the result, the control of the USSR over the Central Europe significantly increased. In this tour we will combine lengthy walks along the memorable places, and short rides on the car. As a professional private guide in Budapest I would suggest you to start this tour from the Technical University, and proceed to the Parliament building.

We will also take a look at the US Embassy, the City Park, the Hungarian Radio, the Corvin Square, the Memorial Cemetery, the Republic Square, the House of Terror and many other famous tourist attractions. We will taka a look at the places where the students started their revolt, where hundreds of people were killed, after the soviet troops opened fire on the numerous demonstrators.
