Kossuth Square is a city square in the Lipotvaros neighbourhood of Budapest on the banks of Danube. Its most notable landmark is the Hungarian Parliament Building. There is a station of the M2 (east-West) line of Budapest Metro as well as a stop for the scenic Tram No. 2. In the second half of the 19th century, great public buildings were erected on square and it became the symbolic center of the Hungarian State. The square was closed in 1912 by a decision of the Parliament in order to restore its pre-1944 view. It was reopened in 2014 as a no-traffic zone with a beautiful park, new tracks for tram no. 2, an underground parking garage, sculptures, and a memorial to the victims of the Kossuth Ter massacre on 25th October 1956. It is a beautiful square with lot of bars and restaurants in nearby lanes. One can sit on a bench facing Danube and watch the world go by for hours.

Came upon this exhibition whilst looking at the parliament building from the front. It is down some steps and is completely free. I was totally ignorant of the 1956 massacre and found the whole exhibition very moving and thought provaking. I purchased a book at the desk as you enter to read more about this dreadful massacre. Still can't believe they do not know the actual number of people killed.!! The building opposite the houses of parliament has the bullet holes marked with metal and also a memorial. Definitely worth a visit.

As you stand in the marvelous square bearing the name of Lajos Kossuth facing the stunning Parliament Building, look to your right and you will see at the far right end of the square a beautiful memorial monument made of white marble. This beautiful monument is dedicated to the memory of Lajos Kossuth who headed the Hungarian administration during the Hungarian uprising against the Austrians between the years 1848 - 49. The impressive figure at the center of the monument is the figure of Lajos Kossuth itself surrounded by his leadership partners of the uprising.
