- Sarah KEdmonton, Canada1,322 contributionsThis building is a must see in Budapest. Both in the day and at night. If you want a tour inside you must reserve well in advance or go there in person at 8am to try to get same-day tickets. We went around 2pm and all tickets were sold out for days. Also there's 2 free underground museums in front - one about Hungarian revolution and one about the Hungarian crown. Great options.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sarah KEdmonton, Canada1,322 contributionsThe monument itself is touching, but the explanation from our Walkative guide was very helpful. When Budapest was surrounded by the Soviets, the Germans couldn't send the Jews to concentration camps so instead they took them to the edge of the Danube and just shot them to death there. Awful.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sarah KEdmonton, Canada1,322 contributionsWe chose the Basilica and the tower tour. Both are very pretty and we don't have any concerns. Note that the lift doesn't take you to the top view, there's still stairs you must do.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Spase MSkopje, Republic of North Macedonia2,235 contributionsI visited during the day and evening, but there were no crowds as I expected. Although when I visited for the first time 7 years ago, the street was crowded with people, but now it is not. This may be due to inflation and rising prices. Vaci is an expensive street, so even before I visited it, I knew that I should not sit here in the restaurants, because unlike other places in the city, it is much more expensive here. Souvenirs and shops are also more expensive, so if you want to buy something, it will be better to do it elsewhere.
But you don't have to shop or eat here to visit. You can just walk around and admire the architecture. Everywhere you turn you will see beautiful architecture. Along the street there are several small interesting alleys.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a nice little market with a selction of food, beverages and ornaments.Written December 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Samantha LLondon, UK56 contributionsThe Gresham Palace is an incredible venue with absolutely impeccable service. From check in, to dining, to concierge services and a spa/gym that never disappoint, the experience at the Gresham Palace is made all the more memorable thanks to its excellent team of staff.Written January 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TAfun123Ridgewood, NJ20 contributionsOn a lark while just passing by, my wife and I decided to ride this Ferris Wheel. It was a nice weekend day, though, and the lines were long with young families. We decided to treat ourselves and pay up a bit to become members of the Priority Club. A separate entrance, a Priority Club lounge and the Priority Club red carpet!!! We were loaded first and as a result experienced extended time in the air while others were loading. Fun views of St Stephen's Cathedral and other sites.Written May 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tiberiu_BaranyiTimisoara, Romania17,107 contributionsAs you are walking in the area in the vicinity of the St. Stephen cathedral you shall this landmark on the Zryinyi street ... looking in the direction of the St. Stephen cathedral.
So you will see a life size statue of the a policeman from the past century in full uniform that was typical for the late 1800 early 1900 (now there is always a question mark if he is a policeman or more like bobby - and to be honest I lean towards the second "booby").
Now the visitor can clearly see the humor of the artist who's envisioned this "Guardian of Order" being overweight ...and the tourist are rubbing the belly of the statue ... hence it's shiny looks.
Overall a nice statue and fun to see - definitely a spot to stop for a few pics.Written March 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a lovely experience, whole city center gives you holiday vibes, everywhere smells amazing from their delicious food. We had some paprikas , goulash and lángos. All excellent, delicious . St Istvan Basilica was also beautiful to watch with the lights game displayed on it every 30 minutes. Overall a nice cosy Christmas atmosphere in Budapest, a lovely city with lots of touristic attractions. As a Romanian tourist i would like to thank our Hungarian neighbours for the hospitality. Kisses and love from Romania to Hungary . Merry Christmas !Written December 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PavlaPavlaChrudim, Czech Republic7,543 contributionsThe shape of this building was very interesting, it seemed to me like a huge U-ramp. At either of its elevated ends were small gardens, planted with grass, trees, and beds of flowers, there were places to sit, and steps which led up to the very edge of the roof.
I bought a combined ticket for the permanent exhibition and several temporary exhibitions (HUF 4,500). The ceramics display was fascinating. Several thousand exhibits were displayed here. Mostly there was no information about them, but I didn't mind because there were really so much of them that it probably would be impossible to read everything.
The permanent ZOOM interactive exhibition was very interesting. Exhibits attached on long rods and arranged in a special shape (it reminded me of hedgehog stings) were the main part of this exposition.
I also really liked the two huge models of Budapest. There was a restaurant on the ground floor of the museum. You could choose your food here in the form of a buffet. I ate cold cherry soup here for the first time in my life. It was absolutely excellent. It is worth going to this restaurant just for having this unusual soup.Written May 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The statue sits along the Danube promenade and makes for a great photo opportunity especially with Castle Hill (Varhegy) across the water containing Buda Castle and Matthias Church.Written August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ShaunH290London, UK2,912 contributionsThere are various monuments around the square, including one of Ronald Reagan. However, the most imposing is the Soviet Heroic Monument, with its inscription:
Dicsőség a felszabadító szovjet hősöknek - (Glory to the liberating Soviet heroes) - in Cyrillic/Russian and Hungarian. For all the hatred of communist authoritarianism, it is good to see that this monument still stands in gratitude to the liberating forces.Written August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is from here that you will find the visitor center and entrance for guided tours of the interior of the Parliament Building. On the square on several impressive statues and monuments with my favorite being the equestrian statue of Count Andrassy on the south side of the square. It is also here that you will find the poignant October 25, 1956 Memorial and Exhibit remembering those that lost their lives during the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 when Soviet troops and tanks opened fire on a peaceful demonstration in the square.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tiberiu_BaranyiTimisoara, Romania17,107 contributionsNagy Imre - even today there is a bit controversy about his memorial in Budapest ... but as most Hungarian historians agree , Imre Nagy was one of the Hungarian heroes, prominent figure of the uprising against the Soviet rule in 1956.
He was trialed, sentenced to death and executed , due to his role in the 1956 "revolution" (revolution that got drown in blood by the Soviet military intervention).
His statue is to be found neat the Danube in Budapest, close to the Parliament actually in the "Vertanuk Tere" square.
The artist was representing Imre Nagy standing serene on a pedestrian bridge. The artistic representation is dwarfed by the historical and national importance of the character represented by the statue.
Visiting is free of charge - so when you are in the area you can stop for a few pics - those of you who are into history may be even more interested in visiting the Imre Nagy monument in Budapest.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Located very conveniently in the center of the Old Town, on Zrinyi Utca, and the concerts are held place here almost 365 days a year. We attended the popular concert named Hungarian Folk Show. Duna Palota is medium size theater but beautiful and ceremonial.
My best suggestion - If you want to have a very good seats, book in advance on official site - the tickets category 1 (37 euros) and choose the rows between 5-8. Get the confirmation by email, print and bring it to cashier, be there at least 20 minutes before the show starts, you should have enough time to exchange your voucher to actual paper ticket. This is critical and important. On time when we exchanged our vouchers, it was a 10 people line before us, with one person in the case. And plus to this it was an incident - the couple who bought their tickets from third party was not able to exchange their confirmations due double sale. It was long conversation with a cashier who had stated - this is not my fault - go to your agency where you bought a tickets. This dispute took time and we were afraid that we wouldn’t have time before start the performance. Then it was also necessary to climb up the several fly of stairs.
So be there in advance and DON'T BUY the tickets from third party - book online on official site or personal on spot. In additional the official site proposes a taxi transfer if you need for 14 euros round trip. Plus if you want, you can add to your show tickets - the evening dinner cruise by Danube after show. The concert was good, with 10 minutes intermission. Dress code- possibly Smart Casual. While highbrow classical music buffs will want a more serious concert, these show is crowd-pleaser with national Hungarian music, dances and songs.Written November 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
