Definitely worth a visit! (Teen approved) - Our visit to Memento Park in Budapest was truly memorable. The park offers a fascinating insight into Hungary's history. The guided tour brought the statues and their stories to life. We appreciated how history has been preserved rather than erased, sparking meaningful conversations about our own country's past. Memento Park was one of the highlights of our trip. Definitely worth a visit!

Informative Tour! - The tour was very informative - my partner and I learned a lot! We would not have understood as much had we walked through the park on our own. Our tour guide was factual and provided details regarding the design of the park, symbolism of pertinent statues, and the history behind it all.

Momento Park: It worth the trip out of the City - I visited Momento Park in Sept 2024 and was taken on a guided tour by Udith, who works at the main office ( please forgive me if I have spelt your name incorrectly). It was an excellent guided tour as she provided lots of historical background to Hungary and its occupation by the Soviets. It was a rainy cold day but that did not deter Udith from taking me from monument to monument to explain the relevance of each one and the hidden message that some have. After the tour I was able to buy some worthwhile souvenirs while enjoying a hot coffee!!. It's easy to get there from the city center via the metro and bus system ( shout out to the bus system, very reliable network). Momento Park is worth the effort.

The era of the Soviet/communist regime comes alive. - The story of the Soviet and the local communist regime is told via the statue park. To make the most out of it I strongly suggest to take the guided tour. Our very informed and interesting guide , Barbara, made the statues come “alive”,

Excellent Guided tour - This tour was fascinating and brought to life by Esther our guide who had many interesting anecdotes about the statues in the park. She set the scene well with an informative canter through 20th century history of Hungary. Some real life stories from the time of Soviet occupation of Hungary really brought it alive and I am sure we learnt so much more than visiting the park without a guide
