Are you looking for areas in Budapest off the tourist maps? In this video we show you a unique area thats worth a visit if you want to see things off the beaten path.
There is an Unknown part of Budapest which is doesn’t get the attention it deserves: The Villa District between Ajtósi Dürer sor and Thököly út! Officially it’s not known as Villa District in Budapest, so that also kinda shows how unknown this place really is. However there are a ton of stories to make this area stand out! The Villa area is located in the 14th District, also known as Zugló. It is a real in-between compared to the busy downtown and the laid back outer city districts. In older times many famous Hungarians lived in these areas, and a lot of successful businessmen built their homes here. Today in this small part you can visit many historic buildings and some of them are kept in really good shape!
Most of them even have very unique stories, like one that has a Lion statue that was part of a trial, or a building that looks like a castle and doesnt really fit with all the other buildings. It is a really chill and cool place, so if you want to visit an off the beaten path area on your trip to Budapest, this is quite a nice place to hang out.
There are also some new restaurants popping up, and we visited one of them: Szaletly – https://g.page/szaletly?share We really enjoyed our food here and the service was also very kind and nice. Good to see you can get excellent restaurant experience further away from the inner city.
For this video I had to make some research, and thanks to some hungarian websites I managed to learn about the area and it’s unique stories: We Love Budapest article: https://welovebudapest.com/cikk/2020/4/27/ahol-minden-utcara-jut-egy-de-inkabb-tobb-hires-muvesz-vagy-epitesz-istvanmezo-rejtett-villanegyede 24 dot hu article about woman statue on balcony: https://24.hu/elet-stilus/2015/11/25/a-szereto-pesti-asszony-aki-mar-tobb-mint-szaz-eve-konyokol-egy-erkelyen-es-varja-haza-a-ferjet/ Some more info from szeretlekmagyarorszag dot hu https://www.szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu/budapest/budapest-egyik-legszebb-utcaja-lehetne-a-thokoly-ut-ha-rendbe-tennek/
