In this stylish neighbourhood, which buzzes with activity day and night, you can shop to your heart’s content in upmarket shops and marvel at the grand houses.
The entire length of Andrássy út is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hősök tere Square, the 19th-century Baroque coffee houses and Városliget City Park clearly illustrate just how rich and powerful the city was in its golden year of 1896. Nowadays, the horse-drawn carriages and Austrian emperors have been replaced by tourist coaches and international number plates. Day and night, the area around the avenue is teeming with life. You’ll find the whole world in the side streets off Andrássy út, from a Persian carpet shop to an Indian grocery store. Today’s allure is reflected in the cosmopolitan street scene.
