These are located just before parliament when walking from the chain bridge end. Not sure what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't as many pairs of shoes as there are. All shapes and size from boots to children's. Definitely worth a stroll along the river and some time to contemplate what actually happened at that point.

Worth the time to find this monument (just be careful crossing the street over to the Danube). Simple but profound! When we visited, the shoes were filled with and surrounded by flowers and candles.

This is not something that is widely publicised. It's situated in front of the Parliament building but as there are roadworks going on you need to walk a fair bit to the left to cross the road but it's worth seeing. It's a memorial in honour of the Jews who were lined up on the wall front, told to remove... More

This memorial is located very near the Parliament building, on the Danube Promenade. (At the moment It is a little difficult to get to because of the construction work being carried out in the area.)

The shoes are reminders of the persons who lost their lives along the Danube to members of the Arrow Cross, many were Jews or Roma. They were shot and fell into the river.

Then look at the size of some of the shoes. Then feel very lucky. Then just sit and reflect. Then go and have a drink.

We took a walk before breakfast and did not stop until we came so far we could see the shoes. We do not regret it . It was a moving sight. There were candles and flowers among the shoes. We noticed especially the small childrens' boots.
