Budapest in Giant Letters at Hosök tere (Heroes' Square).

Hosök tere is one of the great squares in Budapest. The square is known for the Millennium Monument with statues of the seven chieftains of the Magyars.

In the square, in addition to looking at the many memorials, you can have your photo taken in front of the giant letters. As a memory from the holiday in Budapest. However, you can be sure that there are other people in the picture as the letters are constantly surrounded by people.
The letters are in themselves a work of art. Made from bent pieces of wood which are occasionally illuminated from below with different colours. They are probably around 2.5-3 meters high.


Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It has 1,671,004 (2023) inhabitants. It is the ninth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and is the largest city on the Danube River.
The name Budapest is composed of the names of the two districts, Buda and Pest, which lie on opposite sides of the river Danube.
