In Budapest, Andrássy Avenue, often known as Andrássy t, is a famous boulevard that dates back to 1872. It joins Erzsébet tér (also known as Elizabeth Square) and Városliget (the "City Park"). It was recognised as a World Heritage Site in 2002, along with metro line 1, Hsök tere, and Városliget, and is surrounded by eclectic neo-Renaissance homes and palaces with stunning exteriors, stairways, and interiors. Along with many other fashion stores, the avenue is home to Louis Vuitton, Ermenegildo Zegna, Vert, Burberry, Gucci, and Roberto Cavalli.

In order to alleviate the parallel Király utca of excessive traffic and to connect the inner city areas (see Belváros) with Városliget via Terézváros, it was decided to build it in 1870. The avenue's construction began in 1872, and on August 20 (a bank holiday), 1877, it was officially opened. It was realised using a combination of designs from three illustrious rivals: Lajos Lechner, Frigyes Feszl, and Klein & Fraser. Their palaces were constructed by the finest architects of the day, directed by Miklós Ybl, with funding from Hungarian and other banks. By the time they were largely completed in 1884, nobles, bankers, landowners, and historical families had mostly moved there. In 1885, it was given that name in honour of Prime Minister Gyula Andrásy, who was the plan's principal proponent.

Since the capital had long been opposed to surface transportation on this road, the idea for building the first metro in continental Europe was initially put forth in 1870. This new metro line's construction, which started in 1894 and ended in 1896, was done to make it easier to reach to Városliget, the major location of Hungary's millennium festivities.

From the inside out, Andrássy t is made up of the following four major components:

From Erzsébet tér to Oktogon, there is an urbanised area used primarily for business.

Extended with a tree-lined avenue, incorporating residential areas and universities, from Oktogon to Kodály körönd.

It is significantly longer from Kodály körönd to Bajza utca, and the residential palaces have little parks in front of them.

Same width; villas surrounded by gardens, including a few embassies, from Bajza utca to Városliget.
