Köztársaság tér
- Address: District VIII, between Luther utca and Berzeriyi utca, Around Keleti Train Station, Budapest
- Category: Squares
- Location: Around Keleti Train Station
Fodor's Review:
Surrounded by an extraordinary mix of faceless concrete monstrosities and lovely old buildings, the vast Square of the Republic has a serene, somewhat shaded park at its center. Its 20th-century historical significance stems from the fact that it was where the Communist Party of Budapest had its headquarters (today the Socialist Party offices), and saw heavy fighting in 1956. Here also is the city's second opera house, and Budapest's largest, the Erkel Ferenc színház (Ferenc Erkel Theater).
- Metro: M2: Blaha Lujza ter or Keleti Train Station
