A day in Budapest's Eighth District: city guide

Budapest's Eighth District is shaking off its rough reputation, with cafes, clubs and great art spaces opening up in an area laden with faded grandeur

A decade ago, the streets of Budapest's Eighth District – also known as Józsefváros – were best avoided. Beneath the shadows of the grand aristocratic homes and ornate residences walked prostitutes, drug users and homeless people. Over the past few years, however, the district, which fans eastward from behind the National Museum, has changed its reputation: easygoing cafes and art spaces are filling the gaps in an area laden with faded glamour. This is the place to head if you want to swap traditional sites and rowdy bars in favour of crumbling balconies and local haunts.
