Corvin-negyed station
M3 · Újpest-központ ↔ Kőbánya-Kispest
Opened 31 December 1976
Corvin-negyed — overview
For its first 35 years this stop under the junction of the Grand Boulevard (Nagykörút) and Üllői út was called Ferenc körút, after the stretch of boulevard above it. It opened on 31 December 1976 as one of the six original M3 stations and took its current name in 2011, when the surrounding Corvin Quarter redevelopment gave the area a new identity. The station lies 26.97 m below ground, with five tunnels and a central island platform.
Four escalators and lifts link the platform to the underpass beneath the crossroads. The 2020–2022 renovation gave it a completely new look, with the designers taking their cue from Star Wars. It is also a key interchange with trams 4 and 6, which run along the Grand Boulevard towards Buda and districts VII and VIII.

Nearby attractions and places
Here the Grand Boulevard forms the border between Józsefváros and Ferencváros. Corvin köz, one of the best-known sites of the 1956 revolution, is just round the corner, and behind it lies the Corvin Plaza shopping centre and the pedestrianised Corvin Quarter with its new offices and flats. Office workers and students use the station by day; in the evening it fills with people heading to the cinema or dinner, and many change to the boulevard trams.
