A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT WE REMEMBER ON THIS DAY:

The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a nationwide revolution against the Hungarian People’s Republic and its Soviet-imposed policies, it lasted from the 23rd of October until the 10th of November 1956. It was leaderless when it first began, but then it became the first major threat to Soviet control since the Red Army drove Nazi Germany from its territory at the End of World War II in Europe.You can learn much more about this revolution on our Communism free walking tour and even see some of the locations where the revolution started. Meet us on the Elisabeth square, close to the Budapest Eye Ferris wheel and get to know more about this national holiday!
