Lonely Planet review

On the street south of the US Embassy (V Szabadság tér 12) you'll find the sensational former Royal Postal Savings Bank, a Secessionist extravaganza of colourful tiles and folk motifs built by Ödön Lechner in 1901. It is now part of the National Bank of Hungary (Magyar Nemzeti Bank; V Szabadság tér 8) next door, which has reliefs that illustrate trade and commerce through history: Arab camel traders, African rug merchants, Chinese tea salesmen - and the inevitable solicitor witnessing contracts.
