Are you ready for an unforgettable journey?

Witness Budapest's history!

Planning a school field trip in Budapest? Experience Time Machine Budapest!
 
The capital offers countless programs, but few places let students encounter history in a way that’s both immersive and accurate. Time Machine Budapest does exactly that: a ~100-minute, guided “time-travel” experience that takes you from the idea of unifying Buda, Pest and Óbuda through the pivotal moments of the 19th–20th centuries all the way to today. The content was developed with professional historians and is grounded in original sources. Holographic projections, mist-screen visuals, VR technology and authentic sets make the experience truly unforgettable.
 
Visits run in timed sessions: up to 15 students per session. For larger classes, the group views the exhibition in 2–3 staggered sessions, starting 30 minutes apart, so the total program length depends on the group size.

Why choose Time Machine Budapest as a group?
