Description: You are invited to the sensational touristic attraction of Hungary, the former top secret Military Hospital and Atomic Bunker beneath the Buda Castle that is now open to the public. This is a piece of living history. The tour includes parts that were built and extensively used during the Second World War and the siege of Budapest. Thousands of people, soldiers and civilians alike were treated here. This was the last hospital in operation during the siege in Buda between 12.1944-02.1945 and that was the second longest city siege in that war. During the cold war the hospital was extended and upgraded to atomic bunker and was classified as “Top Secret” under the codename 0101/1. It is very rare that a complete military hospital and bunker opens its gates to the public. The speciality of this installation is that it is not merely a museum or a bunker planned for use in case of a conflict. It was the witness of the world war as well as the 1956 Hungarian Revolution as an operational hospital.
