What To Expect
Memento Park
Displayed in the Park are 42 pieces of art from the Communist era between 1945 and 1989, including allegorical monuments of “Hungarian-Soviet Friendship” and “Liberation”, as well as statues of famous personalities from the labour movement, soldiers of the Red Army and other gigantic pieces: Lenin, Marx, Engels, Dimitrov, Captain Ostapenko, Béla Kun and other “heroes” of the communist world. A favourite with visitors is the Liberation Army Soldier. A hammer-and-sickle flag in its hand and a cartridge-disc machine pistol hanging in its neck make the statue complete. This 6-meter tall statue of the evil-eyed Soviet soldier once stood on the top of Gellért Hill in central Budapest, well-seen from every direction.

Soviet-era snapshot

5.00An interesting park with several soviet-era statues. The film in the hut in front of the park quite amusing, and I had a bit of a struggle squeezing in the car just outside the main entrance. I also found the nearby music set the scene.
Memento Park is 100% worth the trip.

5.00We spent a fascinating afternoon here, a unique and thought-provoking stop. If you want to see a side of Hungary that most typical city tours miss, this open-air museum is a hidden gem. Walking among 42 giant statues of Lenin, Marx, and Engels that once towered over the city is a surreal experience. Standing next to the iconic Stalin's Boots, the only part left of a massive monument torn down during the 1956 Revolution, is a powerful reminder of Hungary's journey to freedom. There are no English descriptions on the statues themselves, so the "In the Shadow of Stalin's Boots" booklet is a must-buy to understand the stories behind each piece.

Bleak graveyard of statues

4.00Graveyard to old communist statues. Quite bleak but well worth a visit. A little outside of Budapest so transport needed. The spy museum afterwards is fascinating so don’t miss it.

5.00Well worth a visit, given that the Park is a tad shabby. Can't comment on the tour as went by public transport and self guided, this is much easier then you would expect, helped by the fact that on all the buses routes and buses the stop is know by it's English name. If your interested in history and/or sculpture a great way to spend half a day.
Fascinating insight into recent history.

4.00A fascinating place to visit and try and imagine what Budapest would have been like not that many years ago. If your visit doesn't include a tour, then you need to buy the Guidebook that explains the significance of each statue. Quite an adventure to get there, as its on the outskirts, but for me, it was well worth it
A must see .. Budapest

4.00Greeted by a bi-lingual ticket person who was lovely. Besides making a toasty cappuccino she answered all our questions easily (English but also heard her speak Italian !) We bought the visitors guide which shed light on not only the moments there but of course the tragic history of the Hungarian people. A tribute to the amazing will of a punished people. A must see in Budapest.
In the Shadows of Stalin's Boots

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I've always had an interest in Communist history and was excited to visit a park full of figures that used to loom over Budapest. It took a tram, the metro and then a bus to get to the location from the city centre however it was extremely worth it. Entry was around £8 and I bought a guide book to better understand the park for £5, it was extremely valuable. Once inside there are just over 40 murals, reliefs and statues primarily from the period between 1947 and 1988. Most famously they have 'Stalin's boots', the only thing left of an 8 metre tall statue of Uncle Joe that was torn down during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. There is a photo gallery describing the revolution and the fall of Communist in the 1990s. Also there is a theatre showing a documentary about the recruitment of spies during the Warsaw Pact era. You have the opportunity to also have a picture in an original Trabant too. Well worth a visit in my opinion.
