Skip-the-line entry to Aeropark Aviation Museum near Budapest Airport, with Soviet aircraft, a free simulator, and a practical guided visit.
“This activity is not at all Tourist Friendly. There was nothing written in English, everything in Hungarian. There was not even an Audio Guide. People were having a attitude and there is not even a tour. This price is only price of entrance. The activities inside the Museum have another price. Also this Museum is outside of the city. So please save your time and money and visit something within the City.”
Every kind of Budapest day, and the pick of each.
