The Nagykörút has quickly started to transform into a gigantic gastro-corridor

The Nagykörút in Budapest is rapidly transforming into a major gastronomic hub, with a significant increase in dining establishments over the past year. From 676 commercial units, 190 now focus on food and drink, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences. The pandemic had previously impacted the area, leaving many shops vacant, but recovery has led to a rise in restaurants and cafes. Traditional retail stores are declining, while stable service sectors remain unaffected. Upcoming renovations are planned for 2028, aiming to enhance the area with improved infrastructure and green spaces. However, the number of vacant units has not significantly changed recently, indicating cautious interest from businesses in the evolving landscape.
