DictaTour of Communism

Highlights / General details

Do you know... the background and the real face of Hungarian Goulash-Communism? what really happened during the 1956 Revolution? that Hungarians were legally allowed to travel every 3 years to the West? that Hungary played an important role linking together the East and the West? how much the yearly maximum money exchange limits were for Hungarians? that Hungarians opened the border first to the West in 1989? Book our DictaTour to get the answers to these questions and learn more about life in Hungary under the previous political system.

We drive with an authentic car (Trabant)* or minibus (Barkas)* by many socialist memorials on the way to Memento Park (Statue Park) – a glance behind the iron curtain. This outdoor museum houses gigantic monuments from the communist dictatorship. After a guided tour in the park you can watch the training film of the secret police (The Life of an Agent). On the way back we drive through a typical socialist housing estate. Tour ends at Tisza Cipo Store (Astoria).
