The\nStoned Loft is located in the heart of Budapest, in the Palace Quarter, just a\nfew minutes walk away from the main sights. Needless to say Budapest is much\nmore than the Heroes’ Square, the Buda Castle, the Andr\u00e1ssy Avenue, the Synagogue\u2026\nLet\u2019s start our journey and get familiar with the neighbourhood.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncobblestoned streets invite you into cheerful cafes, restaurants and bistros\nwith brilliant flavors, with friendly, relaxed atmosphere, concerts and events\nall around. <\/em>Starting\nfrom the Puskin Street, the Italian Cultural Institute, the National Museum,\nthe Alm\u00e1ssy Palace on \u00d6tpacsirta Street, along with the library of Szab\u00f3 Ervin,\nit is also a must to visit the Great Market Hall on F\u0151v\u00e1m Square. <\/em>It looks like a simple market, but\nit is definately more than that. It has also been chosen as the best market in\nEurope. The market stalls offer extremely appetizing fresh food in the whole\narea of the market. In this most visited building of Budapest, we have the\nopportunity to buy traditional Hungarian food in the restaurants located inside\nthe market.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nPlace Quarter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palace\nQuarter (Palotanegyed) is part of the 8th district of Budapest. The\ncenturies-old sparkling religious and cultural life, the revolution of the\nentertainment industry in the past decades, and the boom of tourism industry\nhas brought the development in the inner city of J\u00f3zsefv\u00e1ros. In the recent\nyears, public areas have been renewed, starting from K\u00e1lvin Square towards\nMiksz\u00e1th K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Square on Reviczky Street or in \u00d6tpacsirta Street, we feel that\nwe are not only in Budapest but also in the cozy downtown of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nGreat Danube Flood in 1838 has made a huge destruction in J\u00f3zsefv\u00e1ros. The real\nurbanization of the area started after it, with the construction palaces and storey\nhouses made from stones. After\nthe defeat of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution, nobles and richer citizens have\nbuilt palaces and mansions as their permanent residences, with renowned\narchitects. The intensive development between 1867 and 1914 created the\neclectic-Art Nouveau building stock in Budapest, which is almost considered as\nHungaricum, since there is no such large number of eclectic buildings found\nelsewhere in Europe.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\ncenturies, the Church has set the cultural life of the world, and this is true\nespecially for the Palace District. So\nit is needless to say why Hor\u00e1nszky Street and it\u2019s surroundings are called as\nthe \u201eLittle Vatican\u201d, since there are many churches and faith centers in this\narea for more than a century by now. Perhaps\nit is not an exaggeration to say that the Palace District is a quarter of the\nreligions, the quarter of cohesive religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From\nday to day and from evening to evening thousands of students are turning up in\nInner J\u00f3zsefv\u00e1ros. The flourishing of the quarter is greatly boosted by the\nfact that the palace district is Budapest’s largest students\u2019 center. The\nbiggest library of Budapest is the Szab\u00f3 Ervin Library. Students spend a lot of\ntime there, and even more next to it\u2019s \nsurrounding areas, in coffe houses and in restaurants. We can definately say that the\nPalace District is a quarter of youth, students and culture. For students, for\nclubs and for the countless guests the demand is huge for the Quarter\u2019s\ncultural programs, in which the Palace Quarter is not lacking for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nPalace Quarter has since overtaken the market leading ruin pubs of Budapest\nsince decades, and the locations, which opened since are following also this\nalternative line. The\nPalace Quarter is definately the quarter of freedom and also the quarter of\ncultured entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
