Very interesting square and statues to see. Adjoining this was a large and peaceful park with a large lake, and restaurants nearby. We spent several hours here laid on towels on the grass in a quiet corner in the sun. Very relaxing before joining the hussle and bussle of city again.

It's an inspiring place to visit for the locals and you will be too when you see it and walk around. Nothing like it anywhere else.

Magnificent statues in a clean inviting park setting. High on the visit list and think there is a market available on the weekends.

A nice memorial. We were not able to get off the bus, but the memorial was very nice from the bus. It would be worth it to stop and get out,

Heroes square, adjacent to a large park and several museums, is a good place to start off a tour of Budapest. If you can either use a good travel guide or (even better) hire a local guide to step you through who the statues represent, you'll get a concise history of the Hungarian people -- and a nice framework on...

As always when nationalism and history merge, it often is a bit too much for me. The setting is ok, clean and straight (as everything in Budapest). Worthy of seeing but not a too big loss if you don't have the tine. There are places up in Buda which are more to study.

This is at one end of the Andrazy walk that is de rigeur in Budapest. If you skip it- you can just look at the photos. The Museum of fine arts is there. We are not sure which heroes since Hungary fought on the German side in WWII and they are now building monuments to the fascist leaders who led... More

The park behind is worth a look, there's some beautiful buildings there, especially if you take the right hand side. The square I would say is just OK.

For Hungary's 1000th anniversary (in 1896), the city of Budapest decided to build palatial monuments to show essence of the countries history, and look to the future. Heroes square is one of those monuments built in the Budapest city park (the park was also built for the 1896 celebrations). The statues display the Kings of Hungary, as well in the... More
