Museum · Budapest, Hungary
House of Terror
The headquarters of first the Arrow Cross and then the state security police, kept as a museum of both occupations. The basement cells are as they were found.
Accessibility
Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.
Getting there
Budapest's metro line 1 is the oldest on the continent after London and still running. All of Hungary →

We do not hold opening hours, prices or a website for this
Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
Other places in Budapest
Széchenyi Baths
Eighteen pools fed from a well 1,246 m down. The outdoor pools stay at 38°C, which is why the photographs of people playing chess in the steam are all taken in winter.
Fisherman's Bastion
Seven neo-Romanesque turrets for the seven Magyar tribes, built in 1902 purely as a viewing terrace. The upper levels charge; the lower ones are free and nearly as good.
Great Market Hall
Three floors under a Zsolnay tiled roof: paprika and salami on the ground, cooked food and a great deal of embroidery above.
