Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum
Part of the vast, interconnected caves beneath Castle Hill, Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum served as a nuclear bunker and emergency hospital during 20th-century wartime. During World War II, the 10 km (6 mi) of caves and cellars in this region were connected and used as a bomb shelter. You can visit the hospital portion, where doctors treated civilians and soldiers until July 1945, then again during the 1956 Revolution. Take a guided tour of the hospital, learn more about Hungarian history from 1938 up through the Cold War, and witness the difficult conditions under which doctors and nurses worked in these caves. With our custom trip planner, Budapest attractions like Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

My lovely wife and I voted this hospital in the rock museum. The tour starts with a 9 minute video in Hungarian but with English subtitles which gave us a good overview of this very unique hospital...

No photos or filming allowed. Tour including 9 minute video with English subtitles. Tour takes just under an hour. Very Expensive for non EU visitors. Good fast pace but little time time to look at...

The video beforehand set the scene & introduced us to what we’d learn with our tour guide. We learned a lot, but would have liked to have had more time to view the exhibits.

I enjoyed my visit here and it was pretty interesting and I learnt some good history around an area I knew very little about. However there were some draw backs. The main negative was the guided tour. I felt we were rushed through it and we weren’t given enough time to look at exhibits on the way around. For this they charged us 18 euros each. An self guide tour with headphones was 8 euros I think and I’d have much preferred that. Also they don’t let you take photos… although I managed to sneak a few. 😄😎 Worth a visit though but could do better with what they have.

Amazing and interesting museum! The tour guide is just amazing and she was so familiar with the Hungarian history answering all the questions. It’s an emergency hospital using during WW2 and the Hungarian revolution of 1956. It’s painful, great and helps to learn more about the history of Hungary

A very interesting museum and well worth a visit. The hospital was built inside a series of natural caves to provide protection during WW2 and was also used during the 1956 revolution. You can only visit as part of an organised tour, lasting approximately 1H 30M, which starts with a cinema screening which outlines the hospital's history. The wax models are all very lifelike. As well as the medical themed exhibits there are military exhibits including a real, full size helicopter! The tour also includes a visit to the power/control room. The guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions. Photos are not allowed but I sneaked a few in 😉🤫

Starting off with a short film to explain the history, this 1.5 hour tour is 100% worth it. I’m so happy we came here. History is so interesting and the tour guide did a great job explaining the history of this place with detailed information. Only guided tour is available so book in advance.. the lower point is 18 meters below ground level.

I think this could be amazing. For me the tour was slightly overpriced for what I got, following the guide I felt rushed, couldnt hear fully as the group was huge with some at the front seeming to want to rush round. For me I'd have liked the option to look around and take it in at my own speed. Sad this wasn't an option.
