The Historic City Wall Showroom in Budapest is a showroom in district V, where a 30-meter section of Pest's medieval city wall can be seen.

On site, signboards and reproductions of old engravings, drawings and maps show the history of the city wall. The difference in level of about two meters between the pedestal of the city wall and the current street level clearly illustrates the filling of the last five hundred years.
