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.

A 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

Greeted 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

I'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.
A unique way to see Communism

A friend suggested we check this out. This is honestly a must visit when in Budapest. You can easily get there via bus. It is far removed but was one of the most unique experiences. It was fascinating to learn more about communism and the unfortunate challenges the people faced. However, this museum leaves a lasting impact because these statues were preserved.
Nice place for visit

I first visited the park over twenty five years ago. Back then it was in a field on the very edge of the city. Statues were scattered around,and Russian marching music played over tannoy. Today, the park is a far more professional tourist attraction, and surrounded by houses etc rather than fields. The park does guided tours which prove very popular. There is a trabant parked by the entrance, which is a wonderful snippet of communism. The pay booth has glass cabinets with various trinkets to purchase, and also sell hot and cold drinks. There are toilets, which were clean on my visit. The park itself is now laid out in more orderly fashion. There are some awesome statues, but I noticed some of my favourites from my original visit had been removed. Where to I do not know. There is also a photo exhibition, the barrack cinema etc. This really is a great place to visit outside of the city centre. Suitable for all ages
Worth a visit

Not that spectacular but very informative. there is not much status in the park but the most interesting is in the barracks next door where authentic Hungarian-language films, with English subtitles, of training indicators and spies during the Communist period are shown. Moreover, the teller is particularly helpful and helped us find public transport back to the center of Budapest.
