Moszkva tér (Moscow Square) is a square in Budapest and a station of the M2 (East-West) line of the Budapest Metro.
It is one of the city's busiest transport interchanges (comparable to Móricz Zsigmond körtér farther south), serving 15 bus routes and 7 tram routes during the day, and 6 night bus routes. Several buses head for the popular tourist destinations of the Buda hills so this square (with the classic, old clock above it) is a common meeting place for those going on excursions.
It can be considered the centre of Buda, because of its traffic and the several stores around it, including Mammut, a huge mall. Buda Castle is easily accessible from here, either on foot or by the Várbusz ('Castle Bus').
