Fountains are important elements in every bigger town’s and the city’s image, and Hungarian ones are no exceptions. Almost every significant and important Hungarian town has some kind of fountain which you should definitely see at least once. Here are our top four picks!
Budapest, Liberty Square
Liberty Square (Hungarian: Szabadság tér) is a public square located in the Lipótváros neighbourhood of the Hungarian capital. The square is surrounded by a mix of business and residential buildings like the United States Embassy in Hungary and the Historicist style headquarters of the Hungarian National Bank on the west side of the square. It features a unique fountain with three meters high water wall which opens up in front of you if you want to walk through the fountain.
Debrecen, Phoenix Fountain
One of the country’s biggest music-fountain is located in Debrecen, Hajdú-Bihar County in front of the Reformed Great Church, which is the main symbol of the city. The fountain was built in 2001 when the city decided to renovate its main square fully. In the centre of the fountain, the phoenix bird can be seen which symbolises the rebirth of Debrecen. The fountain is also decorated with the small replica of Árpád Feszty’s legendary painting the Arrival of the Hungarians.
