We arrived at the destination of the Heroes square only to be a little confused as the square was completely enclosed with high advertising sheets and temporary seating erected around the square as a special celebration day was taking part in that of juvenile horse racing. No seating available to watch the celebration. We eventually found an entrance to gain a sight of the Heroes Sq. It's the largest and most impressive square in Budapest. The Millennium Monument. It is situated at the end of Andrassy Avenue &next to City Park. It is surrounded by two important buildings the Museum of Fine Arts & Kunsthalle ( Hall of Art). The Millennium Monument in the middle of the square was erected to commerate the 1000 yr old history of the Magyars conquest. The Arch Angel Gabriel stands on top of the centre pillar, 36mtrs high holding the Holy Crown & the apostolic Double Cross of Christianity. The Chieftains who led the Magyar tribes to Hungary are featured on the plinth between the colonnades to the left and right. Statutes of the Kings and other important historical figures stand on top of the colonnades on either side of the centre pillars. If you look on the left of the colonnade the last five spaces were reserved for members of the ruling Hamburg family dynasty. The Hamburg Emperors were replaced with Hungarian Freedom fighters when the Monument was rebuilt after WW11. At the front of the Millennium Monument is a large stone Cenotaph surrounded by an ornamental Chain. The Cenotaph is dedicated "To the Memory of the Heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of the people & the National Independence". To get to Heroes Sq take the metro M1 (Millennium metro) to Hosok Tere station. It's worth a visit to the square both during the day and night, then walk along Andrassy Ave to window shop or sit and have a quiet drink and watch the world go by or stroll over to City Park where the winter skating takes place

Shoes on the Danube Bank

Reviewed By Tiberius_C_Bud - Budapest, Hungary

Located in the vicinity of the Hungarian Parliament (in the direction of the Chain Bridge), on the banks of the Danube, the shoes along the promenade is a memorial to all those shot into the Danube by the Arrow Cross militia. You'll see big and small shoes, boots, elegant shoes, children's shoes, etc. symbolizing the fact that no one was spared. The place is symbolic inasmuch as that wasn't the only spot where the executions took place, but in several other places along the banks of the river. It's especially touching during sunset and evening.
