Andrassy ut, District VI (section from Oktogon to City Park), Budapest, Hungary

 

Once you get past the rather built up and hectic (though still picturesque) section of Andrassy ut that leads to Oktogon, you will discover that the street suddenly changes. Huge and beautiful buildings with intricate and ornate facades are separated from the main road by grassy traffic islands - reflecting good urban planning.

This street was constructed as part of the nation's millennium celebrations in 1896, along with the M1 metro, which runs beneath it. It was started in 1872 and took twelve years to complete. Since then, it has been renamed several times: first after Prime Minister Andrassy, then it changed to (believe it or not) Sztalin (i.e. Stalin) ut and after Stalin was denounced it was changed again to 'Avenue of the People's Republic'. Finally, in 1990 it changed back to Andrassy ut - which many had continued calling it all along. Enjoy a stroll all the way up to Hero's Square, from where you can catch the M1 back to Vorosmarty.
