Tour description

May I invite you to experience the decayed glory of communism?
Walking among the epitomical monuments and cenotaphs is really an ultimate way of a freaky time traveling. (Memento Park)

Switching towards the enigmatic mountains of Buda, we come across a unique local 1:1 scale railway system controlled by children. Still a living part of the communist heritage railway fans may brave embarking on.

Alongside we perform a nice short walk following the path of the Normafa forest to food and drink pavilions. An excellent occasion for a relaxed walk under the shadows of the trees.

These spots are out of town and are not stressed by over-tourism.
This tour needs 4 hours. We travel by my minibus.
The entrance fee of the museum is your cost of 3000 HUF (appr. 7.5 EUR). FREE ENTRY WITH A VALID BUDAPEST CARD!
Ticket to the children's railway is 1000 HUF (appr. 2.5 EURO).
