A museum looking at communism in Hungary and the effects of the terror caused by the Arrow Cross Party (Hungarian Nazis). It's located in a beautiful street, made to look like an American boulevard but inside this lovely neo-renaissance building lies many secrets. It was once home to the Arrow Cross Party HQ and within its labyrinth of corridors are cells, where the captured were tortured. A very sad museum but most interesting. You need to get the headset to fully appreciate all that's gone on within the walls of this eerie building (available in English and German).
Andrassy Ut, near Vorrosmarty
Though the House of Terror acknowledges the role of fascism and the Arrow Cross, it is really about the communist oppression and the execututions and torture of that period. Some of it is quite disturbing.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
