big open space and if you like statues this place has a few. Good for the bus tours and there are a couple of large exhibition halls at either side, These have different themes. Also a very nice view of the Avenues

A worthwhile place to visit, plenty of space to walk around just watch the traffic as you cross the road to get onto the main square!

Flanked by two museums, the square is an interesting stop aftera walk along the avenue. Most tour groups stop here briefly. It is also the home of the wonderful Fine Arts Museum

it's an impressive square, but also the castle behind the square is very impressive and surprizingly non-tacky

This Square is huge, built in 1896 ish before the millenium celebrations. Huge place, large grand statues, lots of tourists. Located at the top of Andrassy ave and near the City Park, so good to spend some time snapping.

When you have the time and the weather is good, walk into the park behind Heroes' square. In the park is also one of the 2 popular bathhouses.
