This place is so unique, definitely one of our highlights from Our Budapest adventure. A little out of the city but easy to get to with public transport. Our tour guide Esther was lovely and so knowledgeable, we learned so much! If you are planning to come here definitely book the tour, it’s worth every penny!

It was very interesting. Our guide, Esther, had spent a lot of time tracking down the story behind each statue, as well as its artist and materials. The tour of Memento Park was actually my favorite thing I did in Budapest. It's unique.

According to our guide, the park is not funded by the government and relies on tickets sale to keep running, which is a pity considering the historical value of it. In the premises you can find statues from the soviet era and understand more about how society and the regime worked back in the day. Also, taking the tour is highly advisable since the meaning behind the statues are very subtle to the untrained eye. There is also a gift shop with authentic communist era trinkets you can bring home such as mugs, pins and posters. It’s absolutely worth a visit if you’re ever in the city.
