The Curious (and Hilarious) Statues of Budapest

Duration: 2–2.5 hours
A walking tour with 2–3 short rides on public transport to save time and energy.
Been to Budapest before? Already seen the big sights and wondering what else the city has to offer?
Then keep reading!

Did you know that Budapest is famous not only for its bridges, baths, and Parliament building —
but also for its statues? 😄
Some were installed by the city. Others... well, let’s just say they “appeared” without asking anyone’s permission. Locals call them pirate statues — and they’ve become beloved parts of the city’s landscape.

From official monuments to rogue sculptures, each one has a story — full of secrets, legends, and insights into Hungarian culture, humor, and history.

This tour is also perfect for kids — it can easily be turned into a fun scavenger hunt to spot Budapest’s tiniest statues!

Join me for a quirky city walk where we’ll hunt down the city’s most surprising sculptures — big and small, touching and absurd, serious and playfully strange.

And yes, if you’re thinking this might be about Kolodko’s mini-statues (Hungary’s answer to Banksy), you’re partly right. But only partly 😉

Unexpected finds, funny tales, and lots of “Wait, what?!” moments are guaranteed 😄

P.S. We’ll meet at the green Liberty Bridge and finish at Elisabeth Square.
No spoilers in between — let’s keep the surprises intact!
