Well, who'd have thought it would be there It didn't take much detective work to find it, so many people (other than me) know where it is.

ANSWER
This is the statue of Peter Falk or Columbo with his dog. Of course, he is a worldwide phenomenon but there is a special reason why he stands exactly on this spot in Budapest: There is a long-running urban legend (refuted from time to time) that Peter Falk has family roots in Hungary and is a descendant of Miksa Falk, a Hungarian journalist/writer. (Wikipedia says Peter Falk has Hungarian roots on his mother's side which makes it quite unlikely Falk being a very rare name in Hungary) Now, Columbo's statue is placed at the corner of the Grand Boulevard (as we call it) and Miksa Falk Street.
