On this tour, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of Hungary’s communist era. Learn about how children were raised, family life, travel restrictions, and what life was like behind the Iron Curtain. Discover the challenging process of obtaining a passport and delve into intriguing aspects of the time, from black markets to banana lines.
