Step into a time machine and sail through ocean history without leaving Budapest. Imagine Budapest is leading a rare walk-through of the Adria Palace, once home to the Adria Royal Hungarian Sea Navigation Company. It’s a deep dive into the golden age of Hungarian maritime trade, navigating stories of transoceanic liners, distant sea routes, and exotic colonial goods. Explore a building over 100 years old that blends beautifully preserved spaces with urbex-style corners, and meet the former tenants and ventures that powered a seafaring era.
Essential Details
Adults only: participants must be 18+. The Adria Palace is an active construction site, so the tour starts with mandatory safety and fire-protection training; attendance and signing the logbook are required to join. The building is not accessible: movement is via staircases, with no elevator available. Follow the guide closely, and respect rules and marked routes at all locations. Photos and videos are allowed only on designated paths and for private use.
