Brilliant! Really interesting museum ; takes you through different periods that the space underground was used and what for. Felt really authentic . Tours on the hour when I went - can only go on a tour

Fluying ✅

Tour is 1 hour and you will visit a crazy hospital used during WW2 and then converted into a soviet nuclear bunker . Tours start on the hour.

Curt Sallinger

Great time, especially on a hot day as the bunker is rather cool. The tour of the hospital is very interesting. I really enjoyed their collection of pictures from Budapest during WWII as well .

Niels Bloemendaal

Impressive museum , a little out of the ordinary standard museumlike places. We really liked the tour for a very reasonable price! If you visit Budapest and you’re into history, you need to stop here!

Elien Van Vossole

I was really impressed! If you are interested in medical stuff, go there! They show you how a hospital was managed inside a rock, beneath the ground. With a lot of was figures and a good guide!

Carl Griffin

Subterranean hospital used during the siege of Budapest in WW2 & during the 1956 uprising.

Alex Smith

Better than expected. Great insight into Budapests darker history and an eye opening exhibition on the effects of Nuclear weapons.

Lőrinc Pataki

Érdekes, izgalmas, igényes - egy szóval nagyszerű kiállítás, érdemes megtekinteni! / Interesting and informative exhibition definitely worth visiting.

Pretty cool, try to stay up front in the tour to actually hear the back story on the bunker and hospital . You can be left out if in the back of the group.

Great tour , cool gift shop items. Guided only unfortunately, but if you go later at night, tours tend to be less full.

Kim Gammelgaard

No photos allowed and no books in English with photos on sale. A parody actually.

Vince

Worth every penny. No photos/videos allowed.

Oba RC

Totally worths it. Great guide tour .

Cole Smith

An interesting museum from a piece of history. Only critique is that the mannequins inside are too frequent and way too creepy.

Gizem Ateş

Overpriced for a WWII hospital and a never used underqualified nuclear bunker that included Hiroshima photos and some scenes from Afghanistan. Could not relate to Hungary’s history.

Andre Moldovan

About World War 2 :-). History and exhibitions . Very interesting!

Utterly interesting but no ticket is given :(

Willem Bakker

Een aanrader om te bezoeken: Ruimtes in een berg die eerst dienst deden als (nood) ziekenhuis in WOll en later door de Sovjets werden ingericht als atoom-schuilkelder. Indrukwekkende om te zien

Alicia García

Una visita diferente a lo que suele verse habitualmente. Dura 1h y te explican muy bien la historia. Además es museo y contiene mucho material médico de los 40 y 50

Wojtek / smakosze.info

Szpital w skale, czyli nieczynny już szpital przygotowany obecnie do pełnienia funkcji schronu jest obiektem, który trzeba koniecznie zobaczyć będąc na Wzgórzu Zamkowym.Zdecydowanie warte obejrzenia.

Таша????

Интересный музей , правда немного жуткий. Отличные экскурсии .

Alyona T.

Must see!!! Самые сильные впечатления в Будапеште!
