On this 245 sq mt (2637 sq ft) wall in Kazinczy street in Budapest, is a map of the city saying "Budapest isn't so small" (Budapest nem ekkora) painted by Richard Orosz. The artist's intention is to draw attention of the tourists in District VII (Jewish quarter) to visit other areas of Budapest just a short distance away.
Just under the map is the phrase " Budapest is much bigger than you think and there is life beyond it".
