Hotels near Heroes' Square

Heroes' Square (Hősök tere) anchors the far end of Andrássy Avenue and marks the entrance to City Park (Városliget). The central Millennium Monument, erected in 1896 for Hungary's 1,000th anniversary, features a 36-metre column topped by the Archangel Gabriel, flanked by colonnades with statues of 14 significant figures from Hungarian history.

The square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Andrássy Avenue ensemble. Two major museums flank the space: the Museum of Fine Arts (Szépművészeti Múzeum) on the left and the Műcsarnok (Hall of Art) on the right. The square itself is open and free to visit at any hour, and it connects directly to Széchenyi Thermal Bath via a short walk through City Park.

Pro Tip: Walk the full length of Andrássy Avenue from the Opera House to Heroes' Square (about 2.5 km). The avenue shifts from high-end shops near the Opera to grand Neo-Renaissance mansions and embassy buildings as you approach the square - one of the best walks in Pest.
