WHAT IS THIS?

VR Tours’ 1.5-hour-long walking tour takes you back in time, to experience the defining events in Budapest’s and Buda Castle’s history and to live through all what we could only read about in history books before.

The tour takes you through 7 historical periods from the 13th century onwards to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. At each station, utilizing state-of-the-art technology, you can relive historical moments with virtual reality. Between the scenes, the audioguide (available in 8 languages) explains what lead up to the events in the scenes, and how they shaped the history if Budapest and Hungary.
