The April walks were sold out

Between March and May 2025, we will be treating you to four walks each month, where we will get to know our new and familiar streets more closely. As always, I would like to start this report by thanking you for joining us on these walks. The good atmosphere can be attributed to the participants, as well as the hosting entrepreneurs, the fantastic tour guides, and the entire organizing team, as well as the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and Industry for making all this possible and supporting small businesses.

Our first walk in April began with the exploration of a completely new area. We visited Tompa Street and Ferenc Square. We started our walk at Bakáts Square, where we also remembered Dr. György Orbán, whose absence we will probably feel forever. From there, we crossed to Tompa Street, where, against a historical backdrop, we got to know Tompa 17, a truly unique little café with distinctive dishes and drinks. We also had the chance to taste a delightful drink. Our journey then led us to Ferenc Square, where we visited two places, including Künst Bistro, which offers special drinks to enjoy, and Quentin's Burger, which brings to life the iconic world of Quentin Tarantino.

On April 12, we visited the **Liszt Ferenc square and its surroundings**. Our walk started at the Jókai statue, from where we looked at the park and the commemorative plaque for Henrik Kemény located at the Kolibri Theatre. We then made a short detour to Andrássy Avenue and the Writers' Shop, where we explored the traces of the old Japanese coffee house. From there, we continued at Liszt Ferenc square and listened to stories about the history of the area. In one of the courtyards, we also looked at a well. We talked about the restaurants located here, the Music Academy, and the old factories. We finished the walk at **[Cafe Vian](https://cafevian.com/)** with a little delicious pastry and coffee.

In the last weekend of April, we explored the Lövőház Street and its surroundings for the first time. At the beginning of our walk, we visited Haris Park, and from there, we returned to Lövőház Street through Széllkapu Park. We got to know Replacc, which deals with the sale of used clothes in a beautifully organized environment with an impressive loyalty system for regular customers. From there, we walked along Lövőház Street, mentioning several stores, and then returned to Széllkapu Park, finishing our walk at Margit Boulevard.

On the last day of April, we explored Kiraly Street. First, we visited the Budapest Avila Great Saint Teresa Parish Church, and then we moved on to the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center. After that, we learned about the infamous history of Kiraly Street, including the world of brothels and dives, as well as the street of merchants. Many new facades awaited us; Kiraly Street is increasingly transforming, and we can expect more and more new shops to open soon. We ended our walk at the WomCafe in the Wombats Hostel.
