"Heroes’ Square One of Budapest 's most history-laden spots, the enormous Heroes' Square is framed by art museums near the City Park. But the main focal point here is Millennium Memorial, a tall column and colonnade structure completed in 1905 that commemorates the Hungarian conquering of the area a thousand years before (hence the name) and the founding of Hungary in 1896. The statues decorating the memorial depict the seven chieftains of the Magyars, and the figure atop the column is the archangel Gabriel. Fun fact: The first underground subway in continental Europe, built in 1896, terminated here. Be sure to visit at night because the square is even more majestic when lit up."

It is a great place to go. Unfortunately, they were doing some work to repair parts of it, so there was some scaffolding up at the time. The surrounding area is beautiful, but there can be large tour groups there, so it can be hard to take good pictures. Go in the afternoon to take better pictures without shadows.

On the opposite side of the Vajdahunyad castle is the Heroes' Square, which is currently being reconstructed in the middle part of the square. It is interesting to see all the sculptures that are in the square, and the buildings with beautiful architecture around the square give it an even more beautiful atmosphere. Although its beauty cannot be seen in its entirety at the moment while it is being renovated, I believe that when the construction works are finished, it will be even more beautiful.

Amazing square, especially when hosting seasonal events during summer and winter. Great spot to meet and a perfect point of orientation in Budapest. Pictures from December 2023.

The statue on top of the main column is currently under restoration and it will be back in the first half of 2025 according to an announcement you find on site. However it is still a beautiful place. It is surrounded by beautiful buildings and it was my starting point for a walk around the area to the castel, music house and the thermal baths.

Mind blowing beauty & status to see 7 leaders of tribes who formed Hungary. A monumental atmosphere with huge scale columns in semi-circle form where history is shown to whoever visits here that the Hungarian Empire once controlled a large stake of all of Europe at one stage

The Heroes Square is very impressive. It's very grand and very up to its name. Sometimes (though pretty rarely) it might be closed because of a film shoot. They have big public events here and they can turn the square into a huge concert or a political event arena. Every year at the end of August they have a large nationally broadcast concert with a symphony orchestra and mainly classical soloists. Then thousands of people are gathering here to enjoy the beautiful music. Warning though, the metro line 1 might be very busy and packed during public events like that.

It was our second visit. Now (August 2024) it has quite a bit of scaffolding to undertake repairs. It's interesting to do a walking tour to learn the meanings of the statues. The city park is also nice to wander through.

A very beautiful square with beautiful statues. It is like the entrance of City Park. There are many beauties in the park like Budapest Zoo, Széchenyi Thermal Bath, Vajdahunyad Castle, Museum of Ethnography and Museum of Fine Arts. Park is beautiful. Vajdahunyad Castle and Zoo are must see places. That whole park takes a day to visit. Consider it when you make your visit plans.
