Fodor's Expert Review Hadtörténeti Múzeum
Castle District
Museum/Gallery
Fittingly, this museum is lodged in a former barracks on the northwestern corner of Kapisztrán tér, cannonballs from the 1849 siege still lodged in the walls. The exhibits, which include collections of uniforms and military regalia, trace Hungary's military history from the original Magyar conquest in the 9th century through the period of Ottoman rule to the mid-20th century. You can arrange an English-language group tour (up to 20 people) in advance for 8,000 Ft; for larger groups the cost is 12,000 Ft.
