The House of Terror - Budapest


There are not too many museums that move participants to tears but the House of Terror in Budapest, is certainly one of them. This well thought of museum presents this building's horrific history and indeed the history of Hungarian people very well. It tells of the two worst periods on last century - the Nazi Occupation and then the Russian reign that followed. Scenes of death and destruction and survivors testimonies will live long after you leave. Beware though the scenes are graphic so not suitable for a day out with the kids.
