Heros Abound In Budapest

This shot was taken in Hero's Square, Budapest.
The photographer in the bottom right corner gives you an idea of big and impressive it is.

Hero's Square is the largest square in Budapest and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002.

It contains an impressive statue complex which feature the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars and other important Hungarian national leaders.

A semicircled colonnade encompasses a tall column and this photo shows the right-hand side as you face City Park with statues of Hungarian kings and heroes.

We visited late in the afternoon so we had plenty of space to explore and take photos.

This we followed up with very long walk along Andrássy Avenue. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but after a very long day sight-seeing it ended up being a bit much.

Eventually we found ourselves back on the main drag where we were able to get food and then, thankfully, a tram back to our AirBnB.

After that day we learned to pace ourselves a little better! 😊
