Budapest Street Directory #14: Lajos Kossuth/Kossuth Lajos utca

Image by Istvan
This is the eleventh piece of a 14-part series, utilizing the 14 statues featured on the two quarter-round colonnades of Hősök tere/Heroes’ Square Millenium Memorial. Since all of the protagonists are major and significant figures in the history of Hungary, some Budapest streets are named after them here and there. The primary aim of this series is not to introduce the statues or characters (all are commonplaces frequently featured in touristic photoguides), but roads, squares and public spaces bearing their names.

Kossuth Lajos utca is a relatively short, though highly significant section of the main east-west street of the city, between Ferenciek tere and Astoria crosspoint, changing to Rákóczi út leaving Astoria, but unlike that, all of it belongs to the innermost district of Budapest. Kossuth Lajos street is always a heavy duty, frequently jammed spot of the city, and since it is packed with small shops on both sides, also a favorized destination of pedestrians. One of the favourite venues of my childhood, a cinema named after the Russian poet, Pushkin, though converted into a modern cultural complex, still exists there; the other fav, Úttörő Department Store (meaning "pioneer") has been demolished since then. – The second choice is Kossuth Lajos tér in front of the building of Hungarian Parliament, as a matter of fact the Parliament Square of Budapest. – Further 17 streets/roads/squares are named after Kossuth Lajos throughout the city.
