➤ 10 am: Minibus tour
On the occasion of the Day of the Memorial Places, held in the Fiumei Road Cemetery, there will
be free guided minibus tours offered with a duration of 45 minutes. Using the minibus allows us
to present the entire area of the cemetery. The tour’s specialty is that visitors can also be
presented to famous people, graves, and exciting places that cannot be reached on an average
thematic walk due to long distances.
➤ 10 am: Sporty walk
Hungarians, go for it! Athletes and sports leaders in the Fiumei Road Cemetery. During our walk we will visit the graves of well-known and lesser-known figures of Hungarian sports history.
We will get to know their humorous, dramatic or even tragic stories, and remember their successes that brought glory to them and their country.

➤ 1 pm: Bicycle tour
On hidden roads. Bicycle tour in the Fiumei Road Cemetery. One of the most unique green areas of Budapest, the Fiumei Road Cemetery, hides countless special
monuments, many of them located in remote, almost wooded areas of the cemetery. During our bike tour we visit these
lesser-known parts of the cemetery, which preserve more interesting stories. On the roads, densely
overgrown with trees, we will ride between artistic graves, and unravel the secrets of guardian
angels, family mausoleums and slender female figures.
➤ 9 pm: Turek – Radnóti’s poetry theatre evening
The audience of Miklós Turek's poetry theatre performance will witness the last moments of the life of a
Hungarian poet who tragically died at a young age.

➤ 11 am: Concert for children (Kolompos)
Kolompos is an authentic Hungarian folk music group, playing mainly for children. They introduce folk music, dance and customs, poetry and tales to little ones in an interactive and entertaining way. On Children's Day, a one-hour concert will take place at the Fiumei Road Cemetery on a meadow among flowers.
➤ 1 pm: Family walk
The mysterious world of the Fiumei Road Cemetery is not only interesting for adults, its stories can
also be explored through children's eyes. We will decipher the decorations of old graves and the meanings of special sculptures, while also getting to know the varied flora. The walk is recommended for children
aged 7-12.
➤ All afternoon Discovery game
Search - seek - collect - explore the tomb garden. Explore the graveyard with the help of a puzzle sheet. The game can be played individually or in a team.
1 June 2023 (Thursday)
➤ 10 am: Maternity/Baby-mommy and/or daddy walk
We will invite parents with small babies to our unusual themed walk, in a more informal way. By informal, we mean that the rhythm of the walk and the stops are adapted to the needs of the participants, that is, it is possible to stop at any time during the walk, to feed a baby at the resting places, and the crying of a child is not considered a disturbing factor among those applying for the walk. We hope that not only the beautiful environment, but also the cultural and historical experiences during the walk will be a source of refreshment for new moms and dads.

➤ 11 am: Pest-Kolozsvár walk
"Beautiful city of Cluj Napoca". During our walk, we will reminisce about the capital of Transylvania, visiting the graves of people whose
lives were marked by Cluj-Napoca: either because they were born as a native of this treasured city, or because their time
in the city was a turning point in their career or at a certain stage of their lives. We can find out what
Ferenc Erkel and Zsigmond Móricz owed to the famous city, as well as whose works have markedly
defined Cluj-Napoca's built and intellectual heritage, as with János Fadrusz’s emblematic statue of Matthias, or the first permanent Hungarian-language theatre, with artists such as Mari Jászai and
Márton Lendvay.
➤ 1 pm: "Beyond the borders" walk
They were born in the annexed areas and their graves are located in the Fiumei Road Cemetery. During our walk, we will talk about the writers, poets, artists, statesmen and soldiers born outside the borders of today’s Hungary, and whose life's work is an integral part of Hungarian culture and history.
