ANGOL NYELVŰ SÉTA!
Travel 80 years back in time to recall the siege of Buda Castle during the Second World War through the recollections of survivals. Take a walk with us on Castle Hill, above the ground and under the ground, as we visit a cellar and an original bomb shelter in the cave system stretching beneath this historic district.
On Christmas Eve 1944, the Soviet Red Army encircled German-occupied Budapest, and the 52-day siege of the Hungarian capital began. Tens of thousands sought shelter in Buda Castle, including German and Hungarian soldiers, the wounded, and civilians. During these hellish weeks — completely unfathomable to us today — they all experienced the common terror of death, but also an instinctive desire for survival in the underground spaces of the Royal Palace and the unique cave and cellar system of the historic residential quarter. They suffered immensely from the cold, lack of water and food, darkness, overcrowding, and diseases, while trying to salvage their lives, possessions, and the treasures of the Royal Palace. During our tour, we will recount the horrors of the siege of Buda based on diaries and memoirs as we walk through an underground labyrinth, visiting the cellar of an old dwelling house and an authentic Second World War bomb shelter. By the end of the tour, you will understand why the siege of Budapest has often been compared to that of Stalingrad, which was one of the most brutal and devastating encirclement battles in world history.
