Statue Park, an address for discovering all the old statues erected to the glory of communism in Budapest.
What was to become of the larger-than-life Stalin and Lenin in the wake of the regime change? Rather than reduce the statues to rubble, it was decided to turn them into a park on the outskirts of Budapest. Today, Memento Park offers visitors the chance to discover the statues that graced the streets of Budapest before the fall of communism. In 2023, Europa Nostra, a European network for heritage protection, listed the Statue Park as an "endangered heritage site". It could therefore receive funding from the European Investment Bank.

Members' reviews on MEMENTO PARK
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Taking into consideration that it's a plot 25 km away from Budapest, not too much to see but a few old and rusty statues.
Anyway, good for seeing what communism was and did, and why it should have been banned all through the world.
