The station was opened on 2 May 1896 as part of the inaugural section of the Budapest Metro, between Vörösmarty tér and Széchenyi fürdő. 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".

Vörösmarty tér has two side platforms, one serving each direction of travel, situated under the northern part of Vörösmarty square. Under the north-eastern corner of the square, the approach tracks describe a tight reverse curve in order to line up with Harmincad utca. To the west of the station, under Vigadó utca, are a pair of sidings. Arriving trains stop to set down passenger at the inbound platform, pull forward into one of the sidings to reverse, and then pick up passengers at the outbound platform.
