Great museum for Hungarian history. In most of the rooms there are English translations, but some are missing. You can see how the empire transformed into today’s Hungary. The modern history could have be covered with more details. I liked a lot the old Soviet tank at the museum entrance.

My 9yr old daughter and I made this our first stop while in Budapest (October 2019) It was a close walk from our hotel in Buda. My daughter had just started learning about WW2 at school, so she found it fascinating. Loved the uniforms, tank, canons, weapons and displays. Spent about 3 hours there but would have stayed longer if we had more time.

Surprisingly, we did not encounter many tourists here. This free to enter museum should be put on the map. It is well thought out and full of insightful displays, aesthetic rooms, and, of course, history! There is no ticket fee, all though they can offer you a ticket to keep as a nice souvenir. If you visit and like the museum, you can also leave a donation at the exit

The half of the museum is closed, price is higher than on internet website. Boring small museum, only a few rooms with the 19 century and a beginning of 1 WW. Go to to polish national museum of military in Warsaw its a way better

I have come here yesterday to kiss locked doors and when I asked when museum opens, I get an answer "maybe 30th December" I have come to this castle only for this museum. I am angry.

Broad view of what happened in Hungary since 1896 all the way to almost current times in terms of military stuff. Many real weapons, uniforms even cars. There are translation in English but what is the most lacking is the start and finish directions because we ended up walking up to wwI and then WW2 after that it was back in time for wwI period.

Quite nice military museum, focused mainly on wall displays. Ideal for faleristics and uniform seekers. In the court you will find some artillery pieces. Cheap tickets. i recommend it!

We were shown around in the armoury by Gregory. He was very professional and patient with us. He gave good answers and it was very obvious he has great love for the subject. If you only have time to visit one museum in Budapest, and you like history, you must visit this one, the armoury is fantastic.

(Translated by Google) Well located in Buda this interesting and beautiful museum is worth a visit who loves guns history because it is very big and spectacular place and great pastime for everyone! (Original) Szép helyen található Budán ez az érdekes és szép múzeum!Érdemes ellátogatni aki szereti a fegyvereket a történelmet mert nagyon nagy és látványos a hely és kiváló időtöltés mindenkinek!Imádtam már gyermek koromban is!

Really interesting museum. Would of been happy if we'd had a small fee to pay to get in and we chanced upon this place by accident. The cafe food is amazing and really cheap considering everywhere else in Budapest.

Very nice military museum, with a lot of specific rooms.

The male part of the familiy wanted to visit this museum and they loved it. I'm not that keen on military and war museums but the exebitions were very nicely done and there are also some interactive games (puzzles, maps etc.). Worth a visit. Also very friendly stuff and a free entrance.

This is an amazing military exhibition on the Budapest riverside. It is free for everyone (just make sure to register yourself at the reception) so don't let anyone fool you into buying tickets. The exhibition is composed of two main areas, historic and modern. The historic area has a few mannequins dressed up as historically accurate soldiers from the second world war and cold war. A few small vehicles and towed guns can also be seen. Within the historic area you can also find two MiG-29 cockpit flight simulators, with enough buttons to confuse even pilots, which is great fun for children and adults alike. There is also a Airsoft shooting range where anyone can try firing replicas of famous firearms. All the "hands-on" parts of the exhibition are attended by friendly staff to make sure everyone is safe and enjoying themselves. The modern area contained more mannequins in modern equipment, replicas of drones and robots, a robot fighting arena and a VR shooting range. Finally in the modern area there are also two mid-spec desktops running various games, and a VR flight simulator for a Gripen aircraft. Be aware this is not the historic military museum that is shown in some of the pictures, that can be found in Buda castle and is paid. Additionally, I'm unsure of how permanent or temporary this exhibition may be, so your experience may vary. All in all, an amazing experience that you can't really get anywhere else.

Lots of interesting things to view there. Specially cause is on this beautiful city. I think knowing your past it will help you not to do the same mistakes in the future. So yes, the past is important .

Fantastic collection of items, along with detailed descriptions of events, equipment and timelines. However: -the layout of the museum is slightly strange, including no clear path to enter and exit each time period chronologically. As well as this, the booth to pay is tucked away. -multiple major sections were not open. - the staff kicked visitors out and closed the place a good 20 minutes before the closing time. -effectively non existent addressing of the role Hungary played in the Holocaust.

Worth while going to. Very good exhibits and I happen to encounter a delightful museum guide in the first room that brought some of the exhibits to life for me and my partner Easy access. Have an informative interesting 2 hours

You could walk around here for hours. An immense amount of military material.

Great place. Bigger than expected

Was there on 30.07.22, only 2 floors and the yard were open, no tank. Mostly stuff from Austria-Hungary empire period. Expected to be more interesting, get bored soon. Because of old building without AC, it's really stifling inside.

Really nice gem that didn't seem that well visited. Broad range of uniforms and equipment for the ones interested in Hungarian military history.

Great place to sit at night on the top of Buda.

It would be nice to get a clear route where to start and finish. Lot's of interesting information and pieces from Hungarian battles and wars. The rooms are well organized and not overstuffed with items.

Just what you expect from a military museum...extensive WW1, little WW2, not much about current status.

All the information provided in clear and concise way, always with international historical context. Exhibitions themselves look a bit underfinanced but definitely a place worth visiting given its low price.

(Translated by Google) An interesting military museum displaying mainly a rich collection of rare Hungarian and Austro-Hungarian weapons. Numerous artifacts (rich uniforms, weapons, banners), dioramas, maps and souvenirs present a historical cross-section of the military of Hungary, Germany, Russia and with two accents from 1848 and 1939 - Polish. The uniforms of Colonel Jerzy Bulharin (although the eagle from the cap could be exchanged for an original Polish museum) and memorabilia of the soldiers of the 1939 Polish defensive war interned in the conditions of an old friendly bond with Hungarian hosts are interesting. It is worth spending at least 1 hour on sightseeing and 2-3 hours for those interested. (Original) Interesujące muzeum militarne eksponujące głównie bogatą kolekcję rzadkiego uzbrojenia węgierskiego oraz austro-węgierskiego. Liczne artefakty ( bogate umundurowanie, broń, sztandary), dioramy, mapy i pamiątki prezentują przekrój historyczny wojskowości Węgier, Niemiec, Rosji oraz z dwoma akcentami z 1848 i 1939 -Polski. Ciekawie prezentuje się umundurowanie Pułkownika Jerzego Bulharyna (choć orła z czapki mogłoby wymienić na oryginalnego jakieś polskie muzeum) oraz pamiątki po żołnierzach wojny obronnej Polski 1939 internowanych w warunkach starej przyjacielskiej więzi u Węgierskich gospodarzy. Na zwiedzanie warto przeznaczyć co najmniej 1 h a dla bardziej zainteresowanych 2-3h.

(Translated by Google) Sorry, it is closed. (Original) Sajnos zárva van.

A large collection of military items from several periods of history from the perspective of Hungary. One drawback is most of the extra are enclosed behind glass and the lighting doesn't make for the best viewing at times.

Really cool exhibits with war equipment from the 20th century, plus the entrance was free.

If you like Military History then this is the place to visit. Plenty to see and very well presented. I had the privilege of going around the armoury with Gregory, he was amazing and very knowledgeable. Thanks for a great afternoon.

A nice and rather large museum, also decently ventillated and not overly busy at the time of visit

(Translated by Google) Excellent selection of military Austro-Hungarian Empire in the ww1 and ww2, many interesting exhibits, a snack bar. Recommend (Original) Отличная подборка милитарии австро-венгерской империи на ww1 и ww2, множество интересных экспонатов, есть буфет. Рекомендую

Exhibits are in good condition. The staff is always ready to explain exhibits in more detail. Unfortunately, a big part of the exhibition is only described in hungarian. In addition, most of the exhibition only deals with the 1st and 2nd world war. Plus, there is an unpleasant smell in part of the building.

Very well maintained museum with lots of beautiful displays. Weapons and other equipment from several phases in history. Easily could spend an hour or more there if you want to look at things in detail. Entry is free but I encourage people to leave some money in the donation box at the entrance because it is nice to support the nice work that has been done.

Very nice collection, quiet and interesting museum

I wasn't sure about visiting because some of the reviews put me off, but I was pleased that I did, this is a great museum with lots to look at if you have an interest in military history, even though we didn't see all of it because it was closing before we got around it all and I think they are having some building work done however I highly recommend going, this place could do with more advertisement. We also had free admission

+Well maintained museum +You can see equipment from different history phases. +Free of charge and underrated. I really wish more people visiting the area.

Hard to find the entrance! There are no signs to lead the way but it is facing the river. Tons of artifacts and information. Could use more interactive exhibits for the kiddos. But it was enjoyable.

A very nice collection of weapons, uniforms, and military paraphernalia put toghether through different eriods and wars.

Free entry! The ground floor was very interesting as it was regarding WW1, as a Western European I didn't realise there was also an Eastern theatre of war (except the start of it all off course). The first floor has a cool armory with weapons through the ages and a large portion of hungarian history (which didn't appeal to me).

Sign up for free at the info desk to get inside the exhibition gallery. At the time of writing (July 2023) they seem to be preparing this new building and most other floors are covered by stickers. No photos inside which I am guessing to prevent the wrong interpretation... The ground floor still have some interesting setups celebrating the 175th military anniversary - WW1&2 trenches, radios, medics camps, equipments from the last century to current (spot the Hungarian made)... Although most descriptions are Magyar, the interactive games are good for anyone: VR target shooting, VR flight simulators, robotic dog control, mini (laser) anti aircraft missile, first person shooter gaming station... It was not busy on a weekday so it's fun to try a few minutes on each station within an hour's visit. This is a pretty good effort to make the military appear cool for the younger generations, seeing there is no English explanation needed lol Hopefully something more substantial will be showing soon!

It only had two small exhibitions showing modern military with VR stuff. The entire "history" exhibition is not available anymore since the museum moved. It's free and it does have something, but definitely not what the name and older reviews suggest it is.

(Translated by Google) It is still an interesting place, but many exhibitions are closed. Unfortunately, the lighting of the shelves is scarce, and it is difficult to syllable the inscription. (Original) Még mindig érdekes hely, de sok kiállítás zárva van. Sajnos a tárlók világítása kevés, nehezen sillabizálható ki a felírat.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, many exhibitions are closed and cannot be visited. Roughly 48 War of Independence and World War I could be watched. Eg arsenal and the rest is closed. But we did, but they could have indicated it on the website. (Original) Sajnos sok kiállítás le van zárva, nem látogatható. Nagyjából 48-as szabadságharc és az első-második világháborút lehetett megnézni. Pl fegyvertár és a többi zárva van. De így is elvoltunk, de azért ezt jelezhették volna a honlapon.

(Translated by Google) The guided tour provided a lot of useful information. The museum pedagogy session was a huge disappointment. (Original) A tárlatvezetés nagyon sok hasznos információval szolgált. A múzeumpedagógiai foglalkozás hatalmas csalódás volt.

Very good museum with many artifacts including vehicles, weaponry and uniforms. Staff is very friendly and willing to explain/converse about the history of the 20th century that has shaped Hungary throughout the decades. Do not hesitate to ask the staff about the WW1/WW2 weaponry as they know a lot about the mechanical/operational features of them.

(Translated by Google) Nice, informative, interesting. (Original) Szép, informatív, érdekes.

(Translated by Google) Just one word is super (Original) Csak egy szó csúcsszuper

(Translated by Google) Really interesting exhibition. I can only recommend (Original) Igazán érdekes kiállítás. Csak ajánlani tudom

A pleasant surprise and enjoyable experience. Despite the throngs of people near here, hardly anyone visiting this fine military museum. Staff was friendly and helpful. Cafe offered 220 Forint espressos. Walk to the courtyard for some additional quite and solace.

Must visit for history enthusiasts. Nice view of the neighborhood. Excellent collections.

Very comprehensive history of the Hungarian army. No punches pulled, excellently laid out with alot of well laid out exhibits.

Interesting place with lots of weapons and uniforms on display. It's not very crowded and they only accept cash.

Great musem about Hungary's military history, with lots of uniforms and weapons. Not a lot of English, but enough to understand what is being exhibited. At 10:30 and 2:30 each day there is an English guided tour of the armoury where you can handle weapons from different periods while listening to an explanation. Exhibits are constantly being reviewed and updated.

One of the best museums in Budapest - without doubt it is in one of the greatest places - up in the King`s Castle. It is worth to visit!

(Translated by Google) The kids loved it. (Original) A gyerekek imádták.

(Translated by Google) Admission costs less than € 2. The museum offers a very complete exhibition, with weapons, uniforms, models and many informative panels. It deals with issues from the end of the Modern Age to the current era, focusing primarily on world wars and the Soviet era. Very rich in materials. I recommend doing the weapons tour, it's € 3 and they show you the evolution of weapons from the 10th to the 21st century. The very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Better go with a lot of time. (Original) La entrada cuesta menos de 2€. El museo ofrece una exposición muy completa, con armas, uniformes, maquetas y muchos paneles informativos. Trata temas desde finales de la Edad Moderna hasta la época actual, centrándose sobre todo en las guerras mundiales y la época soviética. Muy rica en materiales. Recomiendo hacer el tour de las armas, son 3€ y te enseñan la evolución de las armas desde el siglo X hasta el XXI. El guía muy instruido y amable. Mejor ir con mucho tiempo.

Good

(Translated by Google) We liked it (Original) Nám sa páčilo

Una experiencia enriquecedora, que ayuda a conocer la maravillosa historia del pueblo Húngaro

Awesome museum. I spent over 2 hours here but it wasnt enough time by half.

This is a fantastic museum. The rich military history is well covered. My 9yr old daughter loved seeing the weapons, uniforms and the clever displays. The tank outside and the canons were also a favourite. We were on a tour of Europe and our tour was not scheduled to visit this museum, so am am very pleased we got to see it before leaving Budapest.

(Translated by Google) Favorite military museum (Original) 最喜欢的一家军事博物馆
