    Moving experience.
    When you realise what you're seeing, and then understand why you're seeing it your emotions run wild.
    Suffice to say I was incredibly moved by this.
    Must see if visiting Budapest.

    National pride
    If you are in Budapest for a few days, I highly recommend this great and grand square. Easily accessible by metro. The area is also home to many other attractions.

    Knowing his place!
    This tasteful statue of St. Stephen was erected in 1906 and stands facing Mathias church, signifying that, as king, Stephen accepted the authority of the church.

    Impressive statue
    One of the most outstanding statues in Budapest. When visiting The City Park and Vajdahunyad castle, very easy to find.

    Communist Statue!
    The Liberty Statue on Gellert Hill is one of the few prominent Communist statues which remained in situ after the transition to democracy, in part because of its iconic location overlooking the city. The statue was first erected in 1947 to commemorate the Soviet troops who lost their lives liberating the country, however the engraving was later changed so that it commemorated, “all who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and prosperity of Hungary.” The panoramic views from underneath the statue are unparalleled and help to make the walk to the top of the hill well worth it.

    Commemorates a brave Hungarian Prime Minister
    This monument sits in a little park at the Pest end of Margaret Bridge. It commemorates the Hungarian Prime Minister who was leading the government during the 1956 Rebellion. He was tried for treason, executed, and buried in an unmarked grave.

    An interesting sculpture with a 'story' behind it.
    We came across this interesting sculpture by chance when walking to dinner one evening. It's a very nicely done piece of street sculpture depicting the 'einstand', a bullying scene from the youth novel “The Paul Street Boys” written by the Hungarian author Ferenc Molnar in 1906. A very popular piece of literature in Hungary where it is considered as a 'classic', and it is also one of the most famous Hungarian novels outside of the country. The novel is about schoolboys in the Józsefváros neighbourhood of Budapest and set in 1889.

    Most Loved Policeman in the World
    This has to be the most loved Policeman in the world. His belly is shiny from everyone hugging him or rubbing it. We can’t walk past without saying “hello” and giving it a rub.

    Great statue. Legend. Captures his personality really well, and I love the fact that his dog is also cast.

    Statue in Kossuth Lajos Square
    This statue next to the Parliament building commemorates Francis II Rákóczi who was a leader during the rebellion against Habsburg rule in 1703-11.

    For photographers, if you get the line up right, you can capture this statue and the one of Statue of Gyula Andrassy, in one picture.

    Symbolic Memorial
    Situated right behind the Great Synagogue of Budapest is the poignant Holocaust Tree of Life Memorial, designed by sculptor Imre Varga. It is said to be the hidden gem of Dohany Street. The memorial was built in honor of the 400,000 Jews who were killed by the Nazis.

    As you observe the memorial, you will notice that it is constructed in the form of weeping willow symbol of mourning in the Hungarian Jewish tradition, it has the names of Holocaust victims inscribed on its leaves. The park was established in the 1990s after Hungary regained a democratic rule. The memorial was completed in 1996, thanks to the generous donation from Estée Lauder, renowned international manufacturer of beauty and skincare products.

    Stumbled across him. September 2022
    We were on our way to see the Danube shoes from Parliament and came across this statue. So had to look it up. He does indeed look very troubled and sad. Just to the side of Parliament
