Budapest

An understated city in Eastern Europe, lies the great Budapest. Like most other European capitals old authentic architecture can be found in every corner. The history that surrounds this Hungarian city has seen hostile takeovers, wars, and vast changes in government and military control. 

The House of Terror, though sounding like cheesy carnival ride, is one of the most amazing museums I have ever seen. It shows an in depth look at the rise and falls of Nazi control to the later communist uprising and eventual Soviet takeover. Unlike most exhibits that leave the guest to see a picture and read the history behind, the House was unlike any other. Stimulating every sense it moved even the most skeptical museum go-er

If you have been to the Holocaust Museum or the Museum of Tolerance it is similar, but on even most extreme scale. Honestly, a definite highlight on this trip.
