Why Andrassy Avenue matters
Andrassy Avenue is the Champs-Elysees of Budapest, lined with neo-Renaissance mansions, theatres and cafes. It links the city centre with Heroes' Square and has an underground railway beneath. Walk it from the Opera toward Heroes' Square, stopping in a cafe along the way, and you will pass much of the city's nineteenth-century grandeur.
Talking points
- Its underground line is among the oldest on the continent.
- Elegant mansions and embassies line the avenue.
- Cafes and boutiques are everywhere.
