Coat of arms of Budapest's 6th district
It is the second smallest district of Budapest. Its traditional name, which is also used by the district government, is Terézváros. The district is one of the busiest and liveliest parts of Budapest, where elegant avenues, historical buildings and cultural centers meet the vibrant city life.
The district began to develop at the end of the 18th century and was named after Maria Theresa, the Habsburg monarch. In the 19th century, the dynamic development of Pest made it truly significant, when avenues and high-class apartment buildings were built. Andrássy Avenue and its surroundings were among the most exclusive residential and shopping areas of the capital at the turn of the century. The development of the district is closely linked to the development of the historical center of Budapest, and it has played a decisive role in the cultural life of the city ever since.
The Hungarian State Opera House, the Academy of Music, and several theaters, such as the Radnóti Theater, are located here. Along Andrássy Avenue, you can find luxury shops, embassies, cafes and restaurants. The area around the Opera House and the Oktogon are among the busiest parts of the district.
Terézváros has a wealth of architectural treasures, of which Andrássy Avenue and its surroundings stand out. Andrássy Avenue is lined with 19th-century eclectic and neo-Renaissance style palaces, which have preserved their original elegance to this day.
A district on the Pest side. It is bordered by Budapest’s XIII. District to the north, by the XIV. District to the northeast, by the VII. District to the southeast, and finally by the V. District to the west.
Currently, the area enclosed by Dózsa György út, the overpass of the MÁV line in Vác, Városligeti fasor, Lövölde tér, Király utca, Deák Ferenc tér, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út, Nyugati tér, Váci út, Lehel and Bulcsú utca and the MÁV area is called Terézváros.
Soil: river alluvium (sand, gravel, clay: the backwater of the Danube and the Rákos stream, which run along the line of today’s Nagykörút, were floodplains). Its average altitude above sea level is 103-104 meters.
It can only be reached by public road, via Hencida or Biharkeresztes, on road 4817. The M4 motorway also passes through its administrative boundaries, but it has no junction in the municipality, with only one rest area near the northern edge of the village.
It is not affected by a railway line, the nearest railway connection is offered by the Biharkeresztes railway station of the Püspökladány–Biharkeresztes railway line, about 6 kilometres to the south.
There are significant differences between certain parts of the district (for example, the villa district on Andrássy út and the area around the Nyugati railway station). The area west of the Nyugati railway station − Nagykörút − Podmaniczky utca − Izabella utca line (towards the City Centre) is the Inner Terézváros, while the Outer Terézváros, or Pacsirtaméző, is located to the east of this (towards the City Park). In real estate advertisements, the elegant villa district surrounded by Szondi Street – Dózsa György Street – Városligeti Fasor – Bajza Street is often referred to as the “Diplomat Quarter” due to the many embassies.
