Villas, Urban Mansions
The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries experienced the peak of bourgeois development and modernisation in Budapest. Following west European patterns, the aristocracy and the upper middle classes had wonderful Classicist, Eclectic and Art Nouveau mansions and villas constructed. The spectacle of buildings flanking the city centre’s main axis, Andrássy Avenue, reflects that era.
A number of the beautiful façades, carved entrances and breathtakingly beautiful interiors have been revived in the past decade. This walking tour introduces you to Budapest’s most fascinating architectural gems. The many contemporary stories, legends and myths will take you back to the enchanted garden of the turn of the century.
