Known for its ruin bars and great street art, this area bursts with local street art pieces, paste-ups, and giant firewalls transformed into stunning murals. The streets of Kazinczy Street, Dob Street, and Rumbach Sebesty\u00e9n Street are some of the best places to start your walking tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t miss the \u201cPortrait of Angel Sanz Briz\u201d,  a tribute to the Spanish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust in 1944. This moving piece connects Hungary\u2019s turbulent past to its modern street art and mural scene.
