Erzsébet tér, Public square in District V, Hungary.
Erzsébet tér is a public square in central Budapest featuring a large grassy area traversed by pathways and surrounded by modern buildings. A central fountain and nearby structures create an open space that serves both as a passageway and a place to linger.
The square received its name in 1858 to honor Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It underwent several name changes during different political periods before returning to its current name in 1990.
The former bus station building now houses the Design Terminal, hosting exhibitions and fashion events. The monthly WAMP design market attracts visitors interested in local crafts and contemporary design objects.
The square connects to Deák tér metro station, which links three subway lines with multiple exits to the plaza. Restaurants, cafés, and bars line the surrounding area, making it easy to find food and drinks.
Beneath the square lies Akvárium Klub, an underground music venue with a water feature on its roof serving as a central gathering point. This hidden element creates an unexpected connection between the surface and the cultural nightlife below.
