Budapest’s Memento Park
Located in the hilly south of Budapest, Memento Park seems to be the place that communist statues go to die. There, Lenin stands next to Karl Marx and Engels, together with crucial Hungarian communist leaders. All of this behind brick walls that make up a surreal and unique open-air museum that feels more authentic than most sights in the city.
Budapest Bullet Holes: A Memorial to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
Close to one of the most touristic areas of Budapest, there is a memorial that most people overlook and ignore. I feel like that happens since there is no English plaque around, but the bullet holes on the Ministry of Agriculture building are challenging to let go of.
Shoes on the Danube Bank in Budapest
Walking along the Danube Promenade, next to the Hungarian Parliament Building, you will find a memorial called Shoes on the Danube Bank. The monument was conceived by Can Togay, with the help of sculptor Gyula Pauer, to remember and honor the Jews murdered by Arrow Cross, a fascist militia, during the last months of the Second World War in Budapest.

Pesti Burger: Smoked Burgers in Budapest
On the last week of February, we went to Budapest and ate some burgers for our delightful #52weeksofburger challenge. When we started to look for burgers there, we decided it would be nice to go to a less touristic venue, so as my research showed and as the staff from Maverick City Lodge confirmed, Pesti Burger was the perfect spot for our weekly munchies.
A Visit to the Szechenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest
Szechenyi Medicinal Baths are the biggest and most popular bathhouse in Budapest. And the only one I managed to find the time to visit during the short time I was in Budapest at the end of August 2018.
