    If you have an interst in the history of the Iron Curtain and want to see some true relics with your own eyes, the statue park should be appealing! It is a heavily advertised tourist attraction and is made 0out to be something perhaps it is not. My only suggestions are that you go early in the day (it shuts in late afternoon - especially when it gets dark in winter), use public transport to get there - it's much cheaper than the tour buses from the city centre (which are overpriced).

    Once you are there, there are some souvenirs for sale at the shop - postcards, badges, medals etc...

    Statue Park (Szoborpark): Statue Park outside the citycentre

    The Statue Park is a small park. It's located South-West of the citycentre.
    About 50 old Sovjet statues and monuments are displayed in 6 circular paths. Besides a souvenirshop (which is in fact nothing more than the cash desk) there's nothing spectacular to do here. Rather a disappointment after visiting their modern website before.

    Although the souvenirs are authentic, the walk through the park will last you not more than 25 minutes.
    Watch the souvenir I bought at my pictures .

    Make sure you go to Statue Park. It's a park of all the Communist statues that used to be in the Budapest area. All the big cats are there incl. Marx, Lenin, and so many other people's revolutionaires. The entire park is shaped in a 'figure 8' because Communism leads nowhere.

  • Directions: It's not in the city per se. It's on the Buda side to the South. Make sure you get specific directions because we got totally lost trying to get there.

    More from the Szoborpark. Many of the statues aren't in very good condition, and it's clear that the park has a tiny operating budget (not surprising - how many Hungarians really want to spend tax dollars maintaining the Communists' artistic legacy?).

    Szoborpark (Statue Park), a collection of Communist statuary removed from their places downtown after the fall. This park is waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere, off on the side of a rural-looking highway. To get there, you have to catch one bus to a West Buda terminal station, then catch another special bus to the park. Don't worry about missing the stop; you can actually see the park off to your right as you approach it on that second bus. It's very much worth the trouble getting there, and you can hear some fascinating Communist propaganda choral music as you enter.

    Statue Park (Szoborpark): Comunists First Theme park!

    • Located on the out skirts town is Szobor Park or Statue Park. After the Russians left at the end of the cold war they left peppered around Budapest monuments dedicated to the hero’s communism. The Hungarians where anxious to get rid of them, so they rounded them up and stuck them out in the middle of nowhere. This is communism’s first theme park I guess; dedicate half a day to this place.

    • One of our favorites for a guy that actually loves Soviet Realism and a boy who loves to climb on it. There is a bus that runs from a bus terminal on the Buda side, see below. It's an off beat way the spend an afternoon.
