The museum is relatively small but full of interesting exhibitions. Would recommend it for everyone, already at the very beginning there's a lot of works of figurative art with references to Hungarian music and also English-language explanations.
2. Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,863 reviews
The Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum is a thrilling, unique and moving place. Visitors can learn about the WWII and the 1956 revolution as well as the Cold War in relation to this former TOP SECRET nuclear bunker. It had an important role during the war and it was classified until 2002 and opened as a museum in 2008. The place ensures a real time warp into the past. Mobiles are not working inside. Do not expect a regular museum. One hour long tour departs every hour in English. Guide books are available in several languages. Unforgettable experience underneath the Castle Hill. The entrance is only about 5 minutes walk from the famous Matthias-Church of Buda.

The house of Houdini has a amazing magic show which lasted 15-20 minutes which was really exciting and brain testing, also a short guided tour of the history of Houdini’s life and some of his possessions, all in about 45 minutes but for the money it’s worth it as it’s extremely cheap. If you have a spare hour on your trip to Budapest this is a great experience. It is very close to the castle grounds so can see this while about the castle. Highly recommend
