The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Várkerület, Central Hungary

November 30, 2021 Hector Krause

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Peter Mansfeld Monument

Reviewed By ianwebb75 - London, United Kingdom

A moving tribute to a freedom fighter against the soviets in the 50’s. In the middle of nowhere (look behind you) the monument appears. Read the bio about him as you stand there.

Reviewed By r383ccaCgb - England, United Kingdom

We made a new friend by the river!! We had read about the statue but did not go out of our way to see it... we found it just as we walked past. Hes very quirky and dressed well for the cold weather by the Danube

Holy Trinity Column

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

This amazing work of art was originally created in the Baroque style in the years 1710-1713 and was restored in 1967 to reflect the amazing look we see today. The pillar is decorated with lovely reliefs and statues. At the top of the column there is a spectacular sculpture of the Holy Trinity. In my opinion a wounderfull piece of art, dont miss it when you visit the old city.

Statue of Queen Elizabeth

Reviewed By BigHugh51 - Adelaide, Australia

During our first full day in Budapest, we undertook a very long walk in an an attempt to see as many attractions as possible. After crossing the Liberty Bridge, we walked along the Buda side of the River Danube heading for the Buda Castle. As we reached the point where the road traffic turns on to the Elisabeth Bridge from the approach road, we came upon this lovely statue of Queen Elizabeth, wife of the Austro- Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph. The statue depicts a seated queen cast in bronze perched atop a small marble plinth. The statue is situated in a pleasant small park with well kept garden beds. There are some park benches within the park and so we took the opportunity to rest our legs for a short time while admiring this impressive statue commemorating a popular queen. This statue is certainly worth a few moments of your time to take a look should you happen to be in the vicinity!
