Batthyány Square

It is located on the Buda side of the Danube directly opposite the Hungarian Parliament Building.

It is named after Lajos Batthyány, the first Prime Minister of Hungary, and a statue for him was erected in 2008.

The historic Fő utca (Main Street) crosses the square, and connects the lower end of the Budapest Castle Hill Funicular to the Buda end of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge.

Batthyány tér station is served by the M2 (East-West) line of the Budapest Metro.

The HÉV suburban railway originates from here, connecting Batthyány Square with Szentendre.
