This was an awesome attraction! So, amazing. According to my husband it's better in the dark. There are lights right behind all the statues. It's really interesting. Make sure you go after lunch around maybe 2pm. It won't be so crowded. :D

Well again this City makes you feel very tiny everything is on a grand scale such a huge area paying tribute to their ordinary people I know it's politics and not everyone had such a good time in this era but the square is very impressive. We had a nice reasonably priced lunch in the Art Centre in the square.

A must see for any tourist to Budapest. Great place for photographs to mark your visit to Budapest. The Millennium Memorial has statues of the leaders of the seven tribes that founded Hungary in the 9th century plus other famous Hungarian historical figures.

Originally built to commemorate 1,000 years of Hungarian history, but updated with a memorial to 20th Century conflict. Some great statuary. Well worth a guided tour.

It's a must-see place in Buda, together with the Vajdahunyak castle nearby - lots of statues, very beautiful and artistic.

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
