Fascinating place where all the Communist era statues ended up after the regime fell. It gives you an amazing sense of how Soviet the city must have looked before. An excellent idea to preserve them here as a reminder of those times.

Great collection/reminders of a pivotal time in the history of Hungary and how it ties in with the history of Europe and politics of the world. Tons of freaky authentic souvenirs from back in the day. Posters, postage stamps, post cards, pins, mock coffee mugs. Even a car sitting outside rotting away.

For history buffs interested in life under the old communist regime; this is an interesting outdoor museum showcasing some of the most popular statues and monuments that would have been found around Budapest. Many of the monuments are replicas, but there are a few originals. I recommend finding a tour with transportation since this is a bit outside the city center. Also, it was very interesting having a tour guide that was able to describe what it was like for them growing up during the Soviet era. There are bathrooms and a small gift shop. I recommend bringing a snack or eating before you go. If you have a few extra minutes after touring the grounds, try walking around Lenin's boots outside the gate to find the "secret" exhibition.

Beautiful open air museum. They sell Hungarian Revolution books that I highly recommend. If you buy the book your admission is included and you can see both sides, the honor of the communist past but also get a glimpse into why they revolted, what they were going through, and the reality of their lives then. It's a bus ride out of downtown, but I loved it. I visited on independence day, so I felt a particularly deep connection to both sides during my 1.5 hours there.

An absolute must do if you've got at least 3 full days in Budapest and feel comfortable using public transit. I popped a SIM card in my phone so I could use Google Maps and track the bus schedules. It was very easy to get here using public transportation, and seeing the park was a delight. Don't miss the Spy films in the adjacent building. by the guidebook when you go in so you know what the significance of the statues are. It also helps explain the era better and you can look at it after you leave
