Reminder of Hungary's recent history
It's difficult not to run into reminders of Hungary's recent history as you go walking through the streets of Budapest. For example, I found this bronze statue of Imre Nagy (1896-1958), a Hungarian politician who was executed in 1958 along with several co-conspirators and thousands of normal citizens for their participation in the failed uprising of 1956. The statue is located in Vértanúk ter and you can get there by taking the Metro Line 2 to Kossuth Lajos tér.
