Bajza utca — overview
The last stop before Heroes' Square lies under Andrássy út at its junction with Bajza utca, just past Kodály körönd. It opened with the original line on 2 May 1896 and has never changed its name.
Bajza utca had a special job during the 1995 reconstruction: it served as the showroom where specialists and the public were shown the materials chosen for restoring the heritage stations, so demolition work here started later than elsewhere. The colour of the terrazzo floor, the shape of the Haidecker railings between the platforms, the oak doors and the light fittings were all settled here. Its two side platforms each have their own street entrance and were lengthened to 35 m in 1973.

Nearby attractions and places
This is the calmest end of Andrássy út: tree-lined, with villas, a number of embassies and few shops. Heroes’ Square and the Városliget, the City Park, are an easy stroll away, so weekend visitors often hop off here, while on weekdays the station serves residents, students from nearby schools and embassy staff.
