Warning: Traffic disruptions on Budapest’s busy Andrássy Avenue due to festival

Due to the Terézvárosi Festival, a section of Budapest’s Andrássy Avenue will be closed to traffic from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday, between Izabella Street and Kodály Körönd, according to a statement from the Budapest Transport Center (BKK).

Changes to bus routes and stops

During this period, bus lines 105, 210, 210B, and 979 will follow a modified route in both directions via Izabella Street and Podmaniczky Street. Passengers will not be able to use the Hősök tere, Bajza utca, or Kodály Körönd stops. Instead, bus and trolley services will stop at alternate locations: the 76 trolleybus at the Ferdinánd híd (Izabella utca) stop, a temporary stop at Honvédkórház near Dózsa György Road, and the stop of 72 trolleybus at Szinyei Merse utca.

Night service adjustments

The 979A night bus will only operate between Oktogon and the surrounding areas on Friday and Saturday nights, skipping the Hősök tere stop. BKK recommends using the BudapestGO app for real-time travel planning and ticket purchases during the festival closure.
