Quote: Getting to the Statue Park is a 90-minute excursion (transfers from strassenbahn/tram to bus) to the hills out of town. The marketing is excellent, but the site itself is quite disappointing.

Tonnes of Statues - Szoborpark
Quote: Part gallery/part park/part monument - the ultimate slapdown for proud Soviet history - a park housing 42 statues and friezes saved when the Soviet regime fell and now set out in an open-air museum. The exhibits range from a colossus of a muscled... Read the full Memento Statue Park review
