Balassa utca

Tömő utca is a street about 700 meters long in Budapest's eighth district, running from Nagy Templom utca to Illés utca. It is named after the Schopper family, whose name means "Tömöry" in South German dialect, and it has carried its present name since the 19th century. The street shapes the look of the Corvin Quarter, which underwent extensive renovation between 2005 and 2022. Among its notable architecture are historic buildings such as the neoclassical house at number 2 and the Romantic residence of Mihály Táncsics, which now serves as a youth hostel. The street is also home to the former eye clinic of Semmelweis University, the János Balassa College and the Chapel of the Queen of Peace.
