Rather than simply smash up Budapest's Communist statues after the Fall of Communism, the ingenious solution was to round them all up and give them a new lease of life by creating a statue theme park in the outlying district XXII. The rather drab setting of the park just off a main road out of town seems to reflect something of the Communist era and gives the giant statues an air of poignancy. A nice ironic twist is the on-site souvenir shop selling Communist era memorabilia at capitalist prices.

To get there from Deak ter in the city centre take either a tram No 49 or a red-numbered bus no 7 to the bus station at Etele ter, then switch to a yellow Volanbusz leaving from stop No 7 or 8. There's also a direct shuttle bus from Deak ter

The Tamaris is a charming three-star hotel in the town of Baska in the south of Krk. It has 15 rooms and 15 apartments and has been recently refurbished. Rooms are well-equipped, clean and modern. The hotel staff are also welcoming and very helpful. But what really makes this hotel standout is its superb position right on the beachfront with the sea a mere stone's throw away. Good out of season deals available.
