Holocaust Memorial Center is a national institution established by the Government in 1999. In 2002, it decided to construct the building of the Center in Páva Street, outside of the traditional Jewish quarter, further emphasizing its national character.
The invading German troops included a Sonderkommando led by SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who arrived in Budapest to supervise the deportation of the country's Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland. Between 15 May and 9 July 1944, over 434,000 Jews were deported on 147 trains, most of them to Auschwitz, where about 80 percent were gassed on arrival. The deportation was powerfully assisted by Hungarian authorities.
The Holocaust Memorial Center focuses entirely on Holocaust research and education.
The visitors are welcomed into a unique space that was named as the most impressive in Budapest, beside the city’s panorama itself by Frank Owen Gehry, one of the leading architects in our time. The modern building is organically linked to the Páva Street Synagogue, an authentic venue that once used to be the second largest site for Jewish worship in Budapest.
The Institution is a center for scientific research education and culture. It welcomes visitors with interactive permanent and special periodic exhibitions, experience-based museum pedagogical programs and cultural performances. Guided tours are available in five languages and special, thematically focused tours are offered regularly. A bookshop and a cozy coffee shop contribute to a memorable visit. A toilet is also available for visitors.

The Kossuth Memorial is dedicated to former Hungarian Regent-President Lajos Kossuth in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building.  The memorial is an important Hungarian national symbol and scene of official celebrations. After the death of Lajos Kossuth (1894) and his sumptuous funeral in Budapest a public subscription was almost immediately announced to build a memorial for the leader of the 1848 Revolution. In 1906 the competition was won by János Horvay after long debates about the style and message of the memorial. Although the public was dissatisfied with Horvay’s idea the sculptor began working. Until 1914 all the figures of the group were completed except Kossuth himself but then the work came to a halt because of World War I. In the years following the war Horvay completed the Kossuth statue. The Kossuth Memorial was officially inaugurated in 1927 before a crowd of 100,000 people. The sculpture group depicts the members of the first Hungarian parliamentary government: Lajos Kossuth (in the middle), Pál Esterházy, Gábor Klauzál, József Eötvös, István Széchenyi, Prime Minister Lajos Batthyány, Bertalan Szemere,  Ferenc Deák and Lázár Mészáros. The other side of the stone back wall are the representatives of the fighting Hungarian people.  Art critics condemned the melancholic atmosphere of the memorial and the sculpture remained somewhat unpopular. The after WW2 communist regime decided the Horvay made memorial wasn’t appropriate because Kossuth was portrayed as a lethargic, troubled figure instead of an enthusiastic, suggestive leader who mobilized the whole country. This is why the Monument was removed. Zsigmond Kisfaludy Strobl won the new competition with a Neo-Saxon, Socreal sculpture group instead of the original neo-baroque-Art Nouveau artwork. However, after the change of regime in 90s a new decision was made to restore everything in the original state on Kossuth Square. So the statue by Kisfaludy Strobl was removed, and a copy of Horvay sculpture made of a better material was reinstalled in 2015. That is currently visible on Kossuth Square. Regarding the future we all are uncertain...

The oldest sea port in the world. For over 7,000 years it has been actively used, by predating Muslims, Christians, Jews, and even Egyptians. Still functional as a small fishing port, a yacht harbor, a tourism destination. The port is currently a recreational zone featuring restaurants and cafés. It offers a variety of culture and food options, including restaurants with live music where fresh fish and seafood is served. A lighthouse, Jaffa Light, is located above the port.

Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat, and humanitarian. He is remembered for saving tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi Occupied Hungary during the Holocaust from German Nazis and Hungarian Fascists during the later stages of World War II. While serving as Sweden's special envoy in Budapest between July and December 1944, Wallenberg issued protective passports and sheltered Jews in buildings designated as Swedish territory. During the siege of Budapest by the Red Army Wallenberg was detained and imprisoned by the KGB. He was later reported to have died on in 1947 in Moscow prison. The statue located in King Saint Steven park and was created by Pal Patzay.
