Communist Budapest Walking Tour
This thematic tour is recommended for those who are interested in the second part of 20th-century history.
Hungary was maybe the most special part of the Eastern block at the time. Between the true "red" countries and the still free Austria, we were called the happiest barrack.
How could this country have a Communist/Socialist regime and Coca Cola at the same time?
