Széll Kálmán tér

Several buses head for the popular hiking destinations of the Buda hills so this square (with the classic, old clock above it) is a common meeting place for those going on excursions.

Following the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, it was debated whether it should be renamed again to the original Széll Kálmán, but initially the name remained.

On March 26, 2011, the City Council of Budapest, restored the original name of the square, Széll Kálmán tér.

The reconstruction work was completed in 2016 and introduced a modern design, high quality services and a greener, more integrated public space.

The reconstruction work activities will last till the spring of 2016, taking place in several phases, in some cases causing occasional inconveniences related to traffic.
