Andrássy Avenue
Andrássy Avenue is Budapest’s grand, tree-lined boulevard, stretching 2.5 kilometers from the city center near St. Stephen’s Basilica to Heroes’ Square and City Park. Built between 1872 and 1885 during Budapest’s golden age, it was inspired by the great European avenues and designed to connect the inner city with the expanding outer districts, while relieving traffic from Király Street. The avenue is lined with spectacular Neo-Renaissance mansions, elegant villas, embassies, and cultural landmarks, including the Hungarian State Opera House, Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, and the House of Terror Museum, all testaments to Hungary’s architectural and artistic heritage. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, Andrássy Avenue is also Budapest’s premier shopping and dining destination, featuring luxury boutiques, historic cafés, and acclaimed restaurants. The Millennium Underground, Europe’s oldest metro line, runs beneath the avenue, with stations at key cultural sites. Walking along Andrássy Avenue offers not only a journey through Budapest’s history and architectural splendor but also access to vibrant city life, culminating at the monumental Heroes’ Square and the green expanse of City Park.
