Ruszwurm Confectionery

Confectionery and cafe. This tiny coffeehouse is the oldest continually operating cafe in the city; probably one of the best pastry shops in Budapest. As a coffeehouse it dates to the 1820s, and its original furnishings are still intact. On a historical note, this location has sold sweets of some kind or another since the Middle Ages, when it was a gingerbread shop. The same family has been operating Ruszwurm since the early years of this century, and all the cakes are made on-premises.

Old Town Hall in Buda
Régi budai városháza
One-storey Baroque style building. For more than 160 years it was the administrative center of Buda, and for another 70 years it was the administrative center of the 1st district. Construction began in 1702 under the leadership of Italian master Venerio Ceresola. A few decades later the building was enlarged: the ornate Rococo staircase and the first part of the west wing of Úri Street was built between 1770 and 1774 according to the plans of Máté Nöpauer. On the two corners of the simple-lined, uniform-style building, there is a protruding enclosed balcony supported by ornately carved stone consoles, and a small bell and clock tower at the top of the east wing. The building has two inner courtyards. Remains of medieval booths can be seen in the doorway, from here a staircase lined with a carved stone railing leads upstairs. The ceiling of one of the central rooms on the first floor is covered with rich stucco decoration in several forms. On the corner overlooking the Trinity Square, stands a statue of Pallas Athena in the recess cut into the wall. Her shield is decorated with the coat of arms of the city of Buda.
