Do you have any favorite statue from Budapest? Even if we did not show it in this video, let us know below! 😊
Hola. Impresionante recorrido, hemos apuntado cada una de las estatuas. Había algunas que no las teníamos en nuestra lista, pero gracias a tu vídeo ahora sí, historias incluidas. Zoltán, muy bonita y en una bonita zona, también "the Boy of...". Un saludo!!! 🤍💙💛
Wow I loved how you filmed the statues like very slow and smooth so that we could really get a look at it great job thank you for the explanation
Thank you, glad you enjoyed this one too as it was kind of like a passion project to show and tell the stories of these statues for visitors of Budapest 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures It was very cool to see the statues in real life and because of you I enjoyed visiting that place and understood a little more
been binging your videos lately in preparation for a four day stay in December, but the videos are so thorough that I almost feel I can skip going and just cook up some Gulash and watch you😅
Hehhe, happy to hear you like the videos :) Come to Budapest first, have a great experience and when you are back home, you can still cook up some Gulash and enjoy the future content :D
My favorite one was the Anonymous statue! I heard that if you're about to write your thesis or a book, touch its pen and it will bring you good luck :) Can't wait to come back next month, I adored this city!
That is true! When I was very young I also touched the pen when I was there on a school trip because tests were coming up soon :)
I loved this video!!!!!!!!!! And especially because I just returned from Budapest, and I've seen most of these in person!!!
Budapest is the most beautiful city in Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm definitely coming back.....next year!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will be perfect to do a video for Kolodko's mini statues!!!!!!! And you alslo should do a video for Obuda. Everyone talks about Pest and Buda, but Obuda worth a visit too!!!!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😊 and hopefully we can show many more cool things so that you may get more inspiration for your next year's visit 😊
Such an entertaining educational video 😭 hope to one day visit! Thank you so much for this!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I loved this video good statues ,Budapest is the most beautiful city in Europe .
We are from Corvin Negyed and Pál Street boys are definitely our favourite. Go Józsefváros ! 😁
U deserve 1 million subscribers
I'll be there in a week!
We want a video about kolodko's statues!
Definitely 😊 those really deserve a video of their own 😉
I think my favourite ones are the statue of Anonymus and the one of Queen Erzsébet on Döbrentei tér ... And I have mixed feelings of the Statue of Liberty on Gellért hill, I like the statue but I can only still see it in the configuration of the day flanked by Russian soldiers. Oh, and the statue in Kossuth tér metró station of Teiresziász and his helper dog (did I ever tell you I love dogs?). The most impressive and emotional though for me is the Cipők a Duna Parton (shoes on the Danube embankment), I always light a candle there in commemoration of all that have suffered from oppression.
There are just sooo many nice statues in Budapest that we couldn't cover... I personally like statues which have a bit of back story or different meaning. Historical Figures on Horses and being all glorious is nice but not my favorites, but ones that are clearly showing art, metaphor or some sort of an interesting history are the ones I enjoy the most :) Regarding Gellért, the statue there in all honesty is the least interesting, the view from the mountain is the clear star for me :)
I have one more idea for your next video. Why don't you talk about országbérlet? :))
Since the scheme will be change tomorrow and I am afraid that I'll get penalty for not buying the necessary additional ticket, this topic will be really useful for us foreigner
Is the mini Süsü statue still gone or did it get replaced?
Unfortunately as far as I know, it is still missing 😢 not sure if Mr Kolodko will ever replace it.
so I have found this colorado beetle statue on google, from Hungary, Hédervár. For who knows what kind of reasons, somebody thought it was a good idea to immortalise a pest insect, probably having another kind of knowledge of it.
There is actually a board closeby explaining that the bug is not to be praised by the statue but to raise awareness of harmful pests that can be brought into the country accidentally. The Colorado beetle was ravaging potato farming and was first sighted in Hédervár (side note : I was never there in Hédervár, but I found this information after a quick research :))
A question I ask: Do you know whose statue is represented in this video at 10:04? I know!
It's Harry Hill Bandholtz right in front of the US Embassy :)
What you're presenting and describing in this video, are sculptures. Some of them are statues.
I won't lie, previously I was also wondering about the difference because to me most of them are "szobor". But now that you pointed out, I looked up the difference and indeed some of these fall mostly under the category of sculpture. I have learned something new yet again 😊 however I hope that calling all of them statues won't cause too much confusion for people ☺️

I appreciate your videos about Hungary but I'm curious, as a Hungarian (Magyar) why do you not pronounce all words and names in the Hungarian language -- like Mátyás király? etc. It's difficult to listen to other videos where the narrator mispronounces every Magyar word so I wonder why you wouldn't pronounce them correctly.
Hey there, we try to walk a fine balance when it comes to mentioning names and words either in Hungarian and English, and indeed we haven't figured out yet the perfect way 😅. Sometimes when we mention names in English it is because we hope it sticks better for the English speaking audience and if they wish to search for places on Google maps they can (like Fountain of King Matthias or St Stephens Basilica). 😊
