What travelers are saying
- Spase MSkopje, Republic of North Macedonia2,250 contributionsThe best place to spend in the island is in frint of the fountain. At the beginning of the island, you will be greeted by the musical fountain, which is the biggest tourist attraction on the island. It was built in 1962. The fountain got a bigger repertoire in May this year. It runs every day from the end of April to the end of October, and the music and sprinklers make the atmosphere even better. Music is played at certain hours of the day. Next to the fountain there are many benches, where you can sit and enjoy.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ShaunH290London, UK2,937 contributionsThe Matthias Fountain (Hungarian: Mátyás kútja) is a monumental statue group in the western forecourt of Buda Castle. Alajos Stróbl’s Neo-Baroque masterpiece must be one of the most frequently photographed sites in the capital. It is sometimes called the 'Trevi Fountain of Budapest' - and you can see why! The crowds love it! Rather than try to take a selfie, get someone else to do it for you!Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN5,970 contributionsAttractive large fountain in the center of Elisabeth Square (Erzsebet ter) next to the Ferris Wheel of Budapest. Dating back to 1883. On top is Danubius who personifies the Danube River. Below him are three female figures representing the three main tributaries of the Danube, the Tisza, Drava and Sava. Worth a look if you are passing through the park.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stinkwinkSydney, Australia7,254 contributionsDuring the rebuilding and reorganization of the square, the designers made a weak effort to make the space more livable, but I can not say that they have achieved full success. It was not difficult to make this overly dilapidated neighborhood more appealing and better, but the public's expectations were put higher. Therefore, subsequent corrections were required, e.g., mounting backrests to the uncomfortable benches.
Seeing the parking difficulties of the buses, I talked with the drivers, and I have to say they were not excited. It's a big step forward to have a regular public toilet, though I do not have personal experience. A cunning solution, however, is their pricing. One visit is 180.-HUF. Who is that desperate visitor who will ask for 20.- HUF (1 cent) from a 200.- HUF coin?
Fortunately, the clock seems to work after a lot of repairs, legitimate mockery, and complaints.Written January 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The fountain looks like a large stone book; every few seconds a sheet of water blasts forth from the book’s spine, arcing from one side to the other, creating the illusion that an invisible force is turning the pages of the marble tome. The fountain was created by artist Kelecsenyi Gergely and engineer Jozsef Szita in 2012. I was impressed by the fountain's simplicity and its dynamic nature. It is a reminder of the importance of traditional books both for the joy of reading and for storing knowledge. The Open Book Fountain is accessible at all times with no entry fee; however, the liquid pages only turn during warm months.Written March 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JnVSydneyGreater Sydney, Australia21,381 contributionsLocated Vorosmarty Square, stands this very interesting fountain, as we visited at night we thought is was just an ornate lamp post, however, on further investigation we could see it was a fountain, surrounded with four lions, hence the name.Written April 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karyn WKansas City, MO1,649 contributionsWhen my husband and I were waiting for a restaurant to open for breakfast we wandered around and found this fountain in Corvin Square. It's of a hunter drinking and it's rather detailed. The plaque said it was erected in 1904 and is of Lajos Kutja.Written May 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary3,859 contributionsIn 1978, the "Mermaids" ornamental fountain, also known as "Faun and Mermaids", was erected on the edge of the former fairground, opposite the Széchenyi Baths. In the centre of the 15-metre diameter pool, surrounded by limestone perches, sits a two-metre bronze faun figure with a whistle, surrounded by five mermaid statues. The playful bronzes were sculpted by Jenő Kerényi.Written December 28, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VadimMurmansk, Russia34,642 contributionsThis fountain with two half-naked girls with jugs was installed on Deak Square in 1933. The author of the fountain was the famous interwar sculptor Ferenc Sidló. Looking at these beautiful women, it's hard to believe that in front of you are two of the 50 Danaids who killed their husbands in order to avoid a prophecy about their father, whose fate is to die at the hands of a son-in-law. The punishment in the kingdom of Hades for them was to fill bottomless jugs with water. Because the worst punishment is senseless work...Written October 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary3,859 contributionsOriginally it was located in the Pest side (Ludovika).
The cast iron part of the well was placed in the Buda Castle in the Holy Trinity Square, sunk into the southern retaining wall.
Looks nice.Written March 19, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
