Bakáts tér Budapest

Tranquility in Budapest

"Whether you're seeking a moment to relax or simply admiring the beauty of the area, the square will offer an escape from the chaos of everyday life."

Welcome to Bakáts Square, where time seems to slow down. At the heart of this square stands a majestic catholic church, St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church.

The centrepiece of Bakáts Square is certainly the beautiful Church that stands tall. Whether you're seeking a moment to relax or simply admiring the beauty of the surroundings, the square will offer an escape from the chaos of everyday life.


I love starting my day in this area, where you can find a selection of nice bakeries and coffee shops. Later, around noon, there's nothing quite like sitting in the open area in front of the beautiful church and sipping a coffee while the sun is smiling at you.

There is greenery around the square, where one can find the perfect spot to relax. It’s a blend of tranquillity, beauty, and spirituality, so come and enjoy a moment that will feel like it lasts a very long time.

See you there!
