Szabadság Square
Szabadság Square, or Liberty Square, is a grand and historic public space in central Budapest, renowned for its blend of architectural elegance, green parkland, and powerful monuments. The square is surrounded by impressive buildings such as the Art Nouveau National Bank of Hungary, the former Stock Exchange, and the fortress-like US Embassy, each reflecting different eras of the city’s history. At its heart stands the Soviet War Memorial, the last of its kind in Budapest, commemorating the Red Army’s liberation of Hungary from Nazi occupation. Visitors will also find statues of US Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, symbolizing Hungary’s ties with the West, and a controversial monument to the victims of the German occupation. The park is popular with locals for its playgrounds, interactive fountain, and café, offering a peaceful retreat amid the city’s bustle. Szabadság Square is not only a place for relaxation but also a living mosaic of Budapest’s turbulent past and enduring spirit of freedom, making it a compelling stop for anyone exploring the city’s layered history and vibrant urban life.
