Hi Nick,
I wish I could give you lots of tips - I'm still fairly new to this collecting craze - only in the last year and a half...
I don't really know other collectors here in Hungary, and I'm only on this forum. I buy most of the items on "Vatera" (kind of like the Hungarian e-bay) and some of it from ebay.de.
But probably look into going to some flea markets one of these days...
If you mean seeing Budapest - I would suggest this for sure:
Sziklakórház - F
and this bunker under the "Gellért Hill" in Buda: where the Germans and Hungarian forces were took their last stand during the seige of Budapest - the bunker was saved in original condition:
Gellérthegyiek a neten: Bunker a hegy alatt (videó)
Cheers,
Fabe

Interesting items Fabe - we looked on a couple of markets in Hungary and I did get a nice WWII Trench Art shell case decorated with the "Kossuth" Coat of Arms but the only uniform bits we saw were all Russian or Russian derived - Hoping to go again this summer - Budapest and Pecs - any tips on places to look / visit?

Hi Fabe - The underground hospital is already on the list for this year, but don't think I have come across the Gellert Hill bunker - is it part of the Citadell fortress? We hope to match up some of the famous photos from 1956 Revolution with the actual places in Budapest when we are there - Its hard to believe when you walk around the centre of the city that it was pretty much destroyed twice in the 20th Century!
