Cold War Park
The Cold War Park is a Budapest based 100% Real Military Attraction supplier. Here you can take a guided tour and check out more than 150 war vehicles including Russian weapons. The place also hosts exhibitions on gulag life and Social Realist art. It’s a must-see for those who are interested in the Hungarian military history of the 20th century.
The place is based on the collection of a local Hungarian military pilot Zoltan Nehai Komocsi (nicknamed ‘Komo’). It was later put on display. The collection includes aircrafts of different ages, helicopters, engines, and so on. The best part is that some of the exhibits can be boarded and are still operative.
A section of the border line that separated East and West was preserved here, as were some of the sand bunkers created in case of an emergency. The area was once a hotspot for people trying to escape the repressive regime in Hungary into Austria or the West. They often lost their lives due to the minefields that were prepared along the border line.
During the Cold War, Budapest was Communist Europe’s sin city, with rock concerts, a sports shop selling Adidas and the first McDonald’s east of the Iron Curtain. But, it was also home to secret police headquarters and a labyrinth of prison cells where political opponents were tortured and murdered.
Military Vehicle Park
If you’re looking to unleash your inner Rambo on a Budapest stag do, then this is one for you. This huge military theme park is packed with tanks, planes and other war machines from all over the world. You can even take a virtual spin in some of the military training simulators. This park is a great way to experience some of the coolest weapons from WWII, and if you’re feeling brave enough you can even drive one of the tanks.
This park is the perfect place to get a taste of military life, and you can also visit the recruitment point and try out airsoft and laser rifle shooting, VR simulators and a mobile obstacle course. There’s even a chance to learn about voluntary and contractual military service in Hungary.
The park is a great place to visit for all the family, and kids can have fun with their own ‘urban warfare’ simulator with airsoft guns and replicas of famous buildings (including the Reichstag). There are also several aircraft and tank exhibitions, including this Mil Mi-2 helicopter which was in service until 1994, when it was transferred to Ferihegy Airport. This site is currently managed by a foundation that supports aviation cultural centers. The foundation also supported the creation of the aviation museum at Budapest Ferihegy Airport, now known as Aeropark.
Manic Tours
Located on Heroes’ Square, the Museum of Fine Arts (Szepmuveszeti Muzeum) is home to one of Europe’s most extensive art collections. From its eclectic Neoclassical building, which resembles the Parthenon in Greece, to its collection of Egyptian art, Renaissance frescoes, and 19th-century paintings, it offers visitors an unparalleled look at Hungary’s cultural heritage.
While the band never reached the heights of success abroad that they enjoyed in the UK, their anthemic songs are still appreciated by their devoted fans. Many of them are too young to know the Manics’ back story, the politics of their era, or the desperate sadness that was Richey’s disappearance/suicide. For them, the Manics are simply an introverted rock band who make great music.
This is a great place to learn about the history of Hungary’s famous equestrian culture and watch the spectacular horsemanship shows. The food is also very good and the staff is friendly.
Budapest’s top attractions are spread across the city, from the neo-classical Parliament Building to the leafy Andrassy Avenue and the castle district. Discover them all with Big Bus Tours’ hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour, which offers a perfect introduction to the city. Hop on and off the bus as many times as you wish and spend as much time at each attraction as you like—just make sure to re-board when the next bus arrives!shooting range Budapest
