Andrássy út

This guide to Andrássy út in Budapest starts in the cellar of number sixty, where a guard destroyed condemned prisoners' last letters, before stepping back to the boulevard's grand 1876 opening and Europe's first underground railway, built beneath it for Hungary's 1896 millennium. It follows the building at number sixty through two regimes, from Arrow Cross terror in the final months of World War Two to the Soviet-backed secret police who moved in after. Walk the same stones that once carried aristocracy to the opera.
