Our first two stops are the Liberty Square for Cardinal Mindszenty's part in the revolution & U.S. Embassy before a short walk to the Imre Nagy memorial. Here is the remembrance of the man who defied the leaders in Moscow and paid dearly on the gallows two years later in total secrecy through a well propagandized court and sentencing.

Next stop is the Parliament area where the shots were fired, which began the revolt to take up arms. Also here we have the eternal flame for the 1956 revolution remembering all those who fought and lost their lives.

Then we take a short walk to Olympic Park for the bloody remembrance of the '56 water polo game against the Russians. Here we will also view where some of the first marches started from Bem Square. After, we take a short ride by tram to the university and learn about their roles in the revolution.

Our 6th stop takes us to the Hungarian Radio where demonstrators marched to take over the building for Imre Nagy's famous speech calling to the West for support. Here you'll learn about the storming of the building.

For the final stop of the tour we go to Corvin Lane to one of the major battle areas where boys and men fought alongside each other in Soviet tanks with nothing more than Molotov cocktails and small fire arms. This stop will showcase the location for its protective quality against the stronger Soviet army and how the Freedom Fighters were able to overcome almost the impossible and defeat some of the Red Army's soldiers and tanks, bringing on full fledged fighting and destruction to the city!
