Kiskörút
Kiskörút ( German Small Ring Road ) is the collective name for the (incomplete) Budapest Ring Road, which surrounds the Pest city center. It consists of three parts: Karoly körút (sometimes called Tanács körút, from Déak tér), Múzeum körút and Vámház körút, which ends at Vámház tér (Customs House Square) and the Liberty Bridge ( Szabadság hid ) over the Danube . During the communist period, the section named after the customs house was called Tolbuhin körút. The total length of the small ring is 1.5 km. It is accessed by tram lines 47 and 49.
The street was built from 1866 in place of the medieval Pest city walls and became, as it were, the natural starting point for several important highways. It has well-known sights, for example the classical National Museum , built between 1837 and 1847 according to plans by Mihály Pollack, and the Great Market Hall . The Great Synagogue is on the corner of Károly körút and Dohány utca .
