What is the cultural centre of Budapest?

Accepted answer

What you are looking for is the area bordered by Teréz Boulevard, Erzsébet Boulevard, Rákóczi Street, Károly Boulevard, Bajzsi-Zsilinszky Steet. Mostly the inner side of District VII (and a bit of District VI). Sometimes also called "the Party District", because it's a favourite destination of foreigners because of the frequency of bars, pubs, restaurants and ruin pubs. But the area also contains multiple theatres, the Hungarian Opera, so it's also cultural in the classical sense of the term.

Budapest is literally a divided city. The Danube river separates the older Buda from the newer Pest.

The heart of Buda is the Fisherman's Bastion which is also known as the Buda Castle. Within it there is a large concentration of restaurants and bars, plus a number of hotels. This where we chose to stay and everything is a short walking distance away.

Pest is much more ample and has more of everything but not quite as close. Much restaurants and bars are located within a few blocks of Andrassy Boulevard, particularly in the first kilometers starting at the Danube. The boulevard ends in a huge park which holds the Szechenyi thermal baths. By that level though, the concentration of restaurants and bars has diminished. Parallel Kiraly road is also full of bars and restaurant.
