Day 3 Budapest

Dr Anne wanted to visit the Museum of Terror which used to house the Secret Police.  It depicts the siege in 1944-45 leading up to the Soviet Invasion.  This is followed by the occupation of Hungary by the Soviets until 1991.  The crimes and the atrocities committed by both the fascists and the communist regimes were depicted vividly.  The interactive dispays were harrowing.


The rest of the day was spent in the City Park.  The entrance shows Heros' Square.






The visit to Széchenyi Baths was superb and a highlight.  These are the largest thermal baths in Budapest.  An aroma session followed by an amazing massage was complimented with fresh fruit and herbal teas.  The thermal baths, the saunas and the outdoor pools were sensational.
