♡ Save

May I invite you to experience the decayed glory of communism?
IMPORTANT! The size of the group is a maximum of 5 "adventurers". Usually less...I try to give a personal, unique touch of an experience.
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, far from the madding crowd, we come across a unique local narrow-gauge railway system controlled by children. Still a living part of the communist heritage. Railway fans may brave embarking on it for a ride.
Alongside, we take a nice short walk following the path of the Normafa forest over 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). Railway is off on Monday but we may check out the central station surroundings.

Budapest in Winter: Cold-Weather Guide and 3-Day Plan
Budapest in winter is exceptionally rewarding for travellers who appreciate outdoor thermal baths in freezing weather, lower accommodation rates, and classic seasonal markets. Although days are short and temperatures regularly hover around freezing, the city's grand architecture, world-renowned indoor bathhouses, and hearty comfort food make it well worth a trip between December and February.
