After a wonderful meal at the nearby Paprika Vendéglő Étterem, our family took a nice evening stroll to Heroes Square in Budapest. This is one of the major outdoor areas in the city, and the history that is depicted here is amazing.

Filled with history, and mobbed with people, the Square is a must see, but a short one. Much else to see with greater enjoyment.

This is spectacular the statues are amazing, we were lucky enough to see the soldiers on parade and dignitaries were placing wreaths on the memorial. This is a memorable location.

Although the square itself is nothing special, remember that you are standing in a location with historical significance for Hungary. The site of many demonstrations, including the location of the Stalin statue that was pulled down and destroyed during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.

This is on a large scale, telling the story of Hungary with huge statues and archway. It rivals anything in Europe and is a must visit

It is a really interesting square however visit the parks behind the square. Boating pond, restaurant and a medieval castle await.

This is a huge open area and the monuments around it are extremely impressive. We were there last week and were lucky enough to be entertained by a full military marching display and band. Excellent!

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.
