While in Budapest its worth taking a small trip outside of the city to see Statue Park. What is Statue Park? Well during the rain of communism in Budapest a lot of statues where placed in and around the city. After communism fell 1989 in Budapest and the government of the city decided to have all the statues moved to a park which is located outside of the city instead of destroying them.

Visit Gigantic Memorials from the Communist Dictatorship in south Budapest. Cubist busts of Marx and Engels and a bug-eyed 15-foot statue of a triumphant Soviet soldier are among the surreal highlights.

I highly recommend taking a short trip out to see this park and It will only take about 45 minutes to view all the statues. You can take public bus but we where told that can take you over an hour and it isn’t easy. We took a cab from our hotel, it was about $40 US, and the cab driver waited an hour while we looked around which worked out perfectly.

Here are some photos I took of Statue Park during my trip to Budapest in May 2007.

You can see more photos at my Flickr account here and the actual Geo Locations where I took these photos since I traveled around Europe with a gps logger that allows me to tag the exact spots where I took my photos.
