Communist Statue Parkmarker

Memento Park near Diosd outside Budapest

The Communist Statue Park, or just "Statue Park" (Szoborpark), is a collection of Communist statues and monuments from the Communist period. When the Iron curtain felt in 1989, some enterprising soul saved the disgraced statues and is today displaying them for the joy of tourists. Here you can come face to face with Lenin, Marx, Engels, Dimitrov, Russian Captain Ostapenko, Béla Kun and other "celebrities" from the past, along with a fair amount of hammer-and-sickle.

Szechenyi Thermal Bathmarker

Városliget (City Park), Budapest

Thermal baths are a big thing in Hungary and Szechenyi Thermal Bath is the king of them all. Build in 1913 and slowly extended through times, it is the biggest of its kind in Europe. Today there are three large pools along with 12 smaller sitting pools. Though the two thermal springs that supply Szechenyi have temperatures over 70°C/158°F, the pool water is pleasant, ranging from 26°C/79°F to 38°C/100°F. Beside the big outdoor pools area, there are also a range of health and spa services, but most people just come here to relax and hang out, and maybe a game of chess.
