Lonely Planet review

About 500m southeast of Keleti train station is the entrance to Budapest's equivalent of Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, established in 1847. Some of the mausoleums are worthy of a pharaoh, especially those of statesmen and national heroes Lajos Kossuth, Ferenc Deák and Lajos Batthyány. Other tombs are quite moving, like those of actress Lujza Blaha and poet Endre Ady. Plot 21 contains the graves of many who died in the 1956 revolution.
