Andrassy Street and Heroes Square Budapest
– Andrassy Street is the great boulevard
of Budapest. Budapest is an unusual city
in that many of the buildings were erected
in the 19th Century for the Population
explosion – see below. But this building
by private nobility took an eclectic
approach and you can see the extraordinary
mix of styles and ornamentation on such as
Andrassy Street.
Andrassy Street goes straight down from
the Millenary Column in the Heroes’ Square
to the Danube River – treelined all the
way. Almost every building has ornamentation
or plasterwork of note and the treelined
street makes a lovely walk.
