Named after the famous early-20th-century composer and locally referred to as Bartók Béla Boulevard (as per the Hungarian custom of rendering surnames first), this area south of Buda is a mix of quiet residential streets lined with handsome 19th century architecture and trendy restaurants, bars, and cafés along with a vigorous cultural scene including a slew of galleries and exhibitions (plus every September it hosts a very cool arts festival called Eleven).
