Örs vezér Square, Square in Zugló, Budapest, Hungary

Örs vezér Square is a major transport and shopping hub in eastern Budapest, where several busy roads meet. The paved open area links two large retail buildings: a low IKEA store with a blue band and yellow letters, and a taller blocky building with red letters reading "ÖRSK" and a curved glass roof.

The area was named in 1932 and became a major junction after the metro line 2 terminus opened in 1970. The first Western-style shopping center in the country opened here in 1980, followed by the first IKEA store in 1990.

The name comes from Örs, one of the seven Magyar chieftains, and locals often call it simply Örs. The square is a meeting point for people from the surrounding housing estates, who come to shop, work, or catch a train.

The square is a major transport hub with metro, suburban trains, trams, and many buses, so allow extra time when transferring. Use the pedestrian bridge over Kerepesi Road to move between the two shopping centers without crossing traffic.

The IKEA here was the first in Hungary and opened in 1990, just before the political changes. Its restaurant seats hundreds of people, making it one of the largest eateries in the area.
