Heroes\u2019 Square, Kossuth t\u00e9r, Szent Istv\u00e1n t\u00e9r: these are the holy trinity of Budapest squares, places that every tourist swings by to snap a few pictures and take in the architectural marvels of the historic surroundings. This time around, we\u2019d like to introduce you to a few of the city\u2019s lesser known, yet all the more charming squares that you should most definitely cram into your itinerary after you\u2019ve ticked off the Big Three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miksz\u00e1th t\u00e9r<\/h2>\n

Located in the pedestrian-friendly heart of Budapest\u2019s Palace District, laid-back Miksz\u00e1th t\u00e9r bears the name of popular Hungarian author and politician K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Miksz\u00e1th, whose novel St. Peter\u2019s Umbrella was admired even by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. Intersected by the Szentkir\u00e1lyi, Kr\u00fady, and Reviczky streets, the rectangular-shaped square is reminiscent of a northern Italian piazza (especially during the warmer months, when it\u2019s filled with the chitter-chatter of students of nearby universities), mainly thanks to the castle-like, red-brick building of 4 Miksz\u00e1th t\u00e9r complete with a timbered Juliet balcony, a central fountain, and the ornate SOTE Central Library, designed in Venetian Gothic revival style. Teeming with restaurants, caf\u00e9s and little shops, and lined with fine turn-of-the-century architecture, Miksz\u00e1th t\u00e9r is a true hidden gem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Corvin t\u00e9r<\/h2>\n

Situated just a stone\u2019s throw away from Buda Castle yet still undiscovered by the tourists, cozy Corvin t\u00e9r is one of the best kept secrets of the city, offering visitors an almost medieval atmosphere, with a number of landmarks located in its immediate vicinity, including the imposing Toldy Ferenc High School, the gorgeous Szil\u00e1gyi Dezs\u0151 t\u00e9r Reformed Church, the recently refurbished Budai Vigad\u00f3 event venue, and the Batthy\u00e1nyi t\u00e9r market hall. In addition to the square\u2019s pastel-coloured townhouses and a historic-looking fountain (erected in 1904), Corvin t\u00e9r has one more thing going for it: in front of the building of the Budai Vigad\u00f3, you can find the footprints of a Paleolithic woman and child, which survived the past 30,000 years being embedded into the sediment of the Danube, in a depth of more than three meters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

F\u0151 t\u00e9r<\/h2>\n

The cobble-stoned F\u0151 t\u00e9r and its continuation on the other side of \u00c1rp\u00e1d h\u00edd known as Kr\u00fady Quarter are the last remnants of historic \u00d3buda which used to be its own town until it was merged together with Pest and Buda in 1873. F\u0151 t\u00e9r makes up for its out-of-the-way location with its Baroque buildings, vibrant cultural life (Kobuci Kert is one of the city\u2019s most popular outdoor concert venues, the Vasarely Museum is a must for all art lovers, while there\u2019s always something interesting going on in Eserny\u0151s), enchanting Christmas markets, and renowned restaurants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Egyetem t\u00e9r<\/h2>\n

Egyetem t\u00e9r takes its name after the Faculty of Law of E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, whose Neo-Baroque building is located right in the center of the square, tightly glued to the Baroque Church of St. Mary the Virgin, commonly referred to as the University Church, erected in 1742 in place of a demolished mosque. Currently, the church is undergoing its first large-scale restoration in 60 years, so save your camera for another day, but you can still enjoy the square\u2019s creative book-shaped fountain, its sculptures, benches, and wide-ranging culinary offerings, from the Nordic-inspired bakery products of nor\/ma to the creamy shakshuka of Hummus Bar.<\/p>\n

R\u00f3zs\u00e1k tere<\/h2>\n

The history of R\u00f3zs\u00e1k tere (Square of the Roses) dates back to the 18th century, when it was used to host livestock markets. From the 1870s to 1932, it was known as Szeg\u00e9nyh\u00e1z t\u00e9r, named after the district\u2019s largest poorhouse. St. Elizabeth\u2019s Parish Church, the square\u2019s majestic centerpiece, was constructed between 1895 and 1901 based on the plans of Imre Steindl, the designer of the Hungarian Parliament building. Named after the 13th century saint Elizabeth of Hungary and built in the Neo-Gothic style, the church is 76 meters high and seats close to 2,600 people, making it one of the city\u2019s biggest ecclesiastical buildings. The well-kept, green churchyard is surrounded on all sides by buildings from the second half of the 19th century, offering you an oasis of peace just a few corners away from busy R\u00e1k\u00f3czi \u00fat.<\/p>\n
