MUSEUM OF AQUINCUM
The first town in this area was built by the Romans. In addition to the habitation, the army camp of the legions, an amphitheatre, industrial plants, sacred places and large cemeteries belonged to the town. Aquincum was one of the most important settlements of the province; it was one of the most important links in a chain of settlements along the Danube. It also served as a centre for a road system leading into the middle of the provinces.

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL CENTRE
The Holocaust Memorial Centre in Budapest was established to show the history of holocaust, educate people about it, as well as honouring the memory of the victims. The Hungarian Government supported the establishment of the institution that opened in 2004. The new modern, interactive exhibition opened in February 2006. The visitors can see the history of holocaust on 1600 m2, but they can also place their own memorial stones and candles on the walls that carry the names of the martyrs. The institution continuously collects documents and objects and interviews survivors and witnesses. The documentation of the Liberation is an important task for the institution parallel with keeping relations with the 'True Ones' and helping the acknowledgment of families who helped in the liberation.

HOUSE OF TERROR
The House of Terror Museum is unique in its genre. It wishes to set up a monument in memory of those compatriots who were held captive, tortured and killed in the building. Apart from presenting the horrors in a decent manner, it is also the goal of the museum to make people understand that the sacrifice for freedom was not made in vain. From the battle against the two cruellest systems of the 20th century originated eventually the strength for freedom and independence victoriously.

HUNGARIAN RAILWAY HISTORICAL PARK
The Hungarian Railway Historical Park - the first interactive railway park in Europe exhibits more than 100 railway vehicles on about 70.000 square meters, at the former Northern towing plant. This establishment opened in 1913, and was the biggest towing plant of that time.
The technical character of the park is balanced by the beautiful scenery. Visitors can pop in for a drink or meal to the nearby Café, pub and buffet. The kind atmosphere and the great variety of the exhibited materials offer a whole day programme for the entire family. Visitors can travel from the Nyugati railway station to the park free of charge. The park can also be reached by bus number 30 (get off the bus at the Rokolya Utca bus station). There is a free car park by the park.

STATUE PARK
After the change in the political system the statues were moved from the streets of Budapest to the museum. This is the only collection of its kind from the period of communism in the whole world. It is the most interesting outdoor museum in Eastern Europe. The museum that opened in the autumn of 1993 still is not completely finished. For example it still lacks a coherent brick wall to create a united frame for the statues. Also, some facilities planned for the service of the visitors have not been put into system yet. Regardless of these deficiencies the park has continuously received visitors ever since its opening. After the progressive interest that characterized the first few weeks, by today the number of visitors coming to the scene has become well balanced. In average 25-30.000 people (both Hungarian and foreign) visit the place every year.
