Oktogon is a station of the yellow M1 (Millennium Underground) line of the Budapest Metro. The station is located under the Oktogon cross-roads where the Grand Boulevard and Andrássy Avenue intersect.
It was opened on 2 May 1896 as part of the inaugural section of the Budapest Metro, between Vörösmarty tér and Széchenyi fürdő.[1] This section, known as the Millennium Underground Railway, was the first metro system in continental Europe. In 2002, it was included into the World Heritage Site "Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue".[2]
The station has two side platforms, each with its own independent access from the street.
