La missione: La tua storia a Budapest

Budapest, 1913 – an age of electric lights and horse-drawn carriages, of opulent cafés and nightlife. 

A young man steps onto the platform at Nyugati Station, the iron ribs of Eiffel’s grand design arching above him. The city hums with promise, just as his sister, Ida, described in her letters. 

Through melodies in midnight salons, she paved his path to the study of flesh and bone. Now, with gratitude in his heart and wonder in his eyes, he embarks on a quest – to see, to savor, and to surprise.
  • Ensure your phone is fully charged or bring along your trusty power bank
  • Fun to do as a couple
  • The Market Hall is closed on Sunday!
  • We recommend not playing at night
  • No attractions ticket(s) required
