The Basics

Originally built in 1896, Heroes' Square today is a top tourist attraction. Stop by to marvel at the Millenary Monument, and the statues of Magyar chieftains. A great way to visit Heroes' Square is by strolling up Andrassy Avenue (Andrássy út), a lovely boulevard that's home to cafés and historic buildings.

To see more of the city in less time, visit Heroes' Square on a Budapest sightseeing tour. Consider hop-on hop-off bus tours, walking tours, or Segway tours. Most tours pass by Heroes' Square and may offer other inclusions, like a Danube cruise, hotel pickup, or lunch at a local restaurant. Bike tours are also a great option, while floating bus tours offer the perfect hybrid—see the city from the water, and by land.
