Visiting Gellert Hill & The Liberation Monument in Budapest

Video Transcript

"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Sarah Satmari and I'm a tour guide in Budapest and I work for Yellow Zebra / Absolute Tours, and we are here on behalf of Expert Village. And if we just continue our way in the direction of the Gellert Hill, which is right in southern direction along the Danube, then we find the third really beautiful spot in the capital, where we can see the lovely view on the Pest side, still. And there we find the only Soviet memorabilia in town, which was erected by the Soviet Army itself, which marched in Budapest in 1945, as a liberation monument, a so-called liberation monument. Now this is the only statue that still exists in the capital, in the heart of the capital, because nowadays it represents real freedom, and we keep all the rest of the Soviet statues in a separate park nowadays, like Karl Marx, Frederic Angus or Lenin or Stalin themselves."
