From the Szechenyi Baths, Marc and I returned to Heroes' Square and then from there walked towards Andrassy Avenue.  The famous avenue is said to have been the place to see and be seen in Budapest in the olden days.  Walking along the avenue, it didn't take us long to find out why.  It is lined with majestic mansions and palaces on both sides.

While it may have lost some of its grandeur, the avenue is still considered a rich place in the city of Budapest.  It is the area chosen by many governments to set up their embassies in.

There was an hexagonal part of Andrassy where palaces faced each other and each had a monument in front of them.  These were some of the monuments and statues of famous Hungarian personalities.
