‘House of Terror’ - quite an amazing museum housed in what was initially the headquarters of the Hungarian Nazis in 1944 and then the headquarters of the communist terror organizations, the ÁVO and ÁVH, between 1945 and 1956. The museum commemorates the victims of terror (but also the victimizers - there are two walls with their names and pictures), but it is also a memento, reminding us of the dreadful acts of terrorist dictatorships.
Entrance fee: 2000 Ft (a little pricey, maybe, but definitely worth it).
