Terézváros (VI) was named in 1777 after Maria Theresa, who had visited in 1751, and became one of Budapest's ten districts when the city was created in 1873.1 Its spine is Andrássy út, decreed in 1870 and opened on 20 August 1876 to relieve the parallel Király utca and link the center with City Park.2

For coffee, the district has two moods. Along Andrássy út are the old-style coffeehouse and cukrászda (pastry shop) addresses. On Teréz körút, Nagymező utca and the streets around Nyugati station, cafés stay open into the night: Terézváros has more late-opening cafés than any other district.

Local tip: For Andrássy út before the crowds, start at Ecocafe (no. 68) at 07:00 on a weekday and walk down toward the Opera; Művész opens at 09:00.

Andrássy út and the Millennium Underground

Beneath the avenue runs the Millennium Underground, built in 1894–1896 as the first underground railway on the European continent and now line M1 of the metro.21 The avenue changes as it goes: shops and offices from Erzsébet tér to Oktogon, a tree-lined allée to Kodály körönd, then palaces with front gardens and finally villas toward Heroes' Square.2 It joined the UNESCO World Heritage Site in an extension of 2002.2

Andrássy út has more cafés than any other street in Budapest. Ecocafe at no. 68 opens at 07:00 on weekdays, More Bakery and Cafe is at no. 31, Flow Specialty Coffee Bar & Bistro at no. 66 and Café Kara, near the City Park end at no. 130, serves until 22:00.

It began as the Little Gerbeaud before taking the name Művész (Artist), and the writers Iván Mándy and János Pilinszky were regulars.4 It opens daily 09:00–20:00 and sets tables outside.

Farther up at no. 39, the former Párisi Nagy Áruház started life in 1882 as the Terézvárosi Kaszinó (Terézváros Casino) and opened as a department store on 3 March 1911. Its first floor holds the Lotz-terem (Lotz Hall); offices fill the upper floors and a bar works on the roof.5
