Istvánmező is a SUB AREA in Budapest, Budapest.

Istvánmező, a serene district in Budapest's 7th and 8th districts, blends leafy boulevards with grand 19th-century architecture.

Its wide, tree-lined streets are perfect for leisurely walks, while the nearby Great Market Hall tempts with local produce and crafts.
