Which streets compose the pedestrian area of Budapest?
 
Which streets compose (or are near) the pedestrian areas in Budapest? Are there names to these areas (like the Plaka is in Athens)? Also, does anyone know the upscale hotels in or adjacent to the pedestrian areas?

Vaci Utca runs from Vorosmarty Ter to just about Ferenc Ter parallel to the river. It has loads of fancy shops, cafes etc...

The Budapest Marriott and the brand-new Four Seasons Hotel are very close to the Vaci Utca.

Indeed, Vaci utca (together with a several side streets) is the main "pedestrian area" in Budapest, but is hardly the only place worth walking (one of the others being the castle district.) The Taverna Hotel, which fronts on Vaci utca, is rated 4-stars. It's decent, and often has good rates available, but I'd not put it at the top of the 4* level. There are five 5-star hotels within 3 blocks of Vaci utca: Marriott, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Kempinski, Meridien.<BR><BR>I'm not aware that the Four Seasons in Budapest is yet ready for occupancy.<BR><BR>
