Travel: Memento Park, Budapest, Hungary

24/09/2018 by Emma Leave a Comment

Memento Park - the Communist statue park

Memento Park (also known as “Szoborpark”) is something different to visit when you are in Budapest. A bus journey away from the city, it’s a perfect place for any Eastern European history buffs.

What is it?

Memento Park is a collection of statues of Hungarian and former Soviet leaders from the cold war period. The park opened in 1989 has statues of Lenin, Marx, and Engels, as well as several Hungarian Communist leaders.

One of the statues which really brought the scale of communist statues home to me was the life-sized replica of Stalin’s boots. This was all that was left of the statue after crowds removed it from its plinth during the 1956 uprising!

What will you see?

Statues from the days of Communism in Hungary, a shop to buy Communist inspired trinkets, an exhibition area and a Trabant car which you can sit in! There are other Communist statue parks in Eastern Europe, we've also visited the one in Sofia, Bulgaria but this one is bigger and better!
