- The Andrássy Avenue in Budapest is a UNESCO World Heritage listed avenue thanks to it's history, the beatiful buildings lining on the sides and the millenial subway running under it and in this video we'll be exploring it's full length. Plus some unique places on the side streets.
Budapest's downtown is connected with it's large City park via the Andrássy Avenue. Anyone who visits Budapest probably either crossed it or went under it when traveling with Subway to the Széchenyi Thermal Bath or to the Városliget City Park, but one of the major transport crossings, the Oktogon is also located here.
It's lined with historical buildings and areas like the Hungarian State Opera house, the Kodály Körönd, or the several gorgeous palaces that host the Embassies of foreign countries. There are also many museums located here, like the House of Terror. And of course right at it's end you have the Heroes square.
But the Andrássy Avenue also has 3 distinct faces, which becomes evident as you walk the roughly 3 km length of it. It's a realy fun experience to explore it and observ the small details of each building here!
In this videon we take the Journey all the way from Heroes Square to the Erzsébet square in the downtown, we check some interesting hidden gems like the Epres garden or cafés and also show you a cool spot for a great photograph of the St Stephens Basilica!

Discovered this gem of a channel 4 months back when I moved to Budapest with my family from India. One of the most fun and informative channels in TH-cam. Sending all the good vibes in the world 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words. Hope you like it here in Budapest :)

Thanks again for another enthusiastic video! I'm looking forward to my visit in September. :-)
Best guide ever. Just followed this guide and did a pretty amazing walk. Totally worth for my only weekend stay in Budapest. Sadly Epreskert and the house of horror are all closed yesterday. The subway stations are beautiful. And took me a while to find the alley to take the picture of Bazilika…
Thanks! Glad to hear you could get a lot out of the Andrássy út, it's often not explored enough by visitors :) Sad to hear the Epreskert was not open this time, I guess in cold weather they aren't open for visits. Hope you are having a great time in Budapest! :)
Heroes Square has to be my favorite spot in Budapest. The monuments are so dramatic. It is so cool that Andrassy Avenue culminates in this magnificent square. Thank you for the video, Stuffed Cabbage Adventures.
Great video showing architecture! I noticed a lot of karyatids. Cant wait to go to budapest next wk!
Oh, our hotel is just off this street. Think it’s pretty much a street opposite the Terror House. Can’t wait to get there now! Thank you!
Coming to Budapest 20/5 for the 3rd time 🤘
Oh my lord , thank you from sharing, i know this road . Andrassy and Oktogon I stayed there 3 days. Was amazing 👍👍
Best video, I visited Budapest last year and now I wonna visit to see what I missed the first time...
Thank you, great video, My favourite avenue in Budapest, the Museum of Terror is excellent and thought-provoking and a must-see. I enjoy the Művész Kávéház, they have great Dobos Torta and a wonderful view of the Opera House.
Thanks for this vídeo. We stayed on Andrássy near Nagymező. We can’t wait to go back. The banana croissant looked so yummy. Stay Fluffy (Eric)
Thank you for these videos! I'll be travelling to Budapest this summer. I'm certainly looking forward to it. Maybe we'll run into you on the street!
Glad that you found them useful. And you never know if you see me walking down the streets 😊 make sure to say Hi if you do ☺️
Another fantastic video😍😍😍
Thanks for suggesting Andrassy Avenue. We travelled underneath it on the Metro and now want to see it at street level. I have general question about Danube sightseeing river cruises. There are so many options to consider - day or evening, drinks or dinners, some have entertainment or live music, and some are cheap and some are fairly expensive. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations? I couldn't find any of your videos about river cruises. Perhaps this could be subject of a future video. Thanks you so much.
River cruises are a common topic for visitors, will surely see how we can show those on video 😊 for me personally I like to explore places at my own pace, which is why I usually avoid hop on and off buses or river cruises, but I am also curious if the experience is worth it, so in the future there may be a video about those 😊
Every time I am in BP I see the improvements, the restorations and renovations since the past decades, the city gets more beautiful every time I visit. From my youngest years I remember Andrássy út (under communist regime called Népköztársaság utja) as a car sewer (and regrettably it still is), buildings delapidated and black from soot and exhaust fumes (even the Opera was entirely black) and the air hardly breathable. Not a desirable place to be in those days at all, but look at it now! It shows that cities can make enormous improvements if they really want to. I do think though that BP should make serious work of traffic calming in the city and go for directing traffic around the city instead of through it (the channel of "Not just bikes" has excellent examples about this topic and urban planning, I'm a fan not an affiliated). If it were only local traffic it would be enough already! And BP has such an amazing transit system (even if it is still recovering from what it once was, but improving and extending all the time); replace the through traffic for (even more) transit and everybody will become happier (and healthier). I looked at a number of plans/wishes from BKK today and as an urban developer, I can only agree. Előre!
There're always lots of things to improve upon in city design (and complain about, that's my Dutch blood) but today I can go sit comfortably on a terrace on Andrássy út and feel happy and at ease ... But my head never stops, we could make it so much better; dreams, dreams, dreams ...
Peanut butter and banana croissant? Is peanut butter widely available in Hungary? Just wondering if we need to bring our own!
you can get it in most supermarkets and shopping malls :)
It certainly gained more popularity and availability in recent years. It's easy to find even in convenience stores like Lidl or Aldi. Though the variety isn't that huge and I am no expert on the quality 😊
How do you feel about Nepshnihaz utca and the area around Blaha Luzha Ter right now in 2024?
Hey there! I feel that the area has improved over the last few years thanks to Blaha Lujza ter and the old Corvin department store being renovated. Even the streets and parks closeby along Nepszinhaz utca received a face lift and it's a more pleasant area these days than it used to be. Needless to say that fixing up the streets and squares will not immediately fix the underlying social problems, so it's still easy to run into dodgy folk, but its more rare. I used to visit a friend of mine who lived in a flat in Nepszinhaz street and back in those times (like 10 years ago) I always had to mind my surroundings, today I don't feel it that tense. But that's just my opinion based on a few occasions I cross that area, I guess someone who lives closeby and frequents the area may have a different or more detailed opinion.
Thank you so much for your detailed description! A close friend of mine is moving to that area soon and I wanted to check
Tourist-selfies. With added music. Is this meant to be a joke? Actually rather funny, sorry....
And you still continue popping in watching the videos when you very well know what kind of content we make 😂
Lovely video as always. Are you planning to do any content related to the atheltics world championships in August?
Yes, we already have tickets for the opening day ☺️
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures I'm also coming for the Athletics World Championships next month and will be staying at the Hotel Moments on Andrassy Ave after watching this video. Thank you for all the videos. They're so informative and fun because you don't take yourself too seriously. I'm almost done watching everything you have on Budapest. It's like cramming for an exam. 😂
