Location Guide ~ Budapest in Hungary
Budapest's
districts are numbered clockwise, in
widening circles, similar to
the districts of Paris. There
are 23 districts - 6 in Buda,
16 in Pest and 1 on an
island Csepel between
them. Each district can be
associated with one or
more city parts named
after former towns within
Budapest. Some of the
main ones are:
- Budapest, The Districts
District 1:
the historical site in Buda on the western side, around the
Castle, with buildings going back to the 17th century, most
of them historical monuments.
District 2: a hilly district in the northwest,
including the famous 'Rose Hill', maybe the most chic residential area of Buda.
District 3: Óbuda (Old Buda) is the oldest and
second largest Budapest district, stretching along the northernmost part of Buda.
District 4: is in Pest, the northeastern side,
residential and industrial area.
District 5: the
inner City of Budapest: in the centre of Pest, banks, office buildings, 'prestige'
shops, the famous pedestrian Váci Street, the House of Parliament, St. Stephen's
Cathedral, galleries, antiquity shops, theatres, cultural amenities.
District
6: 
is in Pest, its mainline is the beautiful Andrássy Avenue with the
old Budapest underground beneath. Beautiful century old buildings including the
Opera House.
District 7: is in Pest, its main
road being Rakoczy Avenue. It is known for its night clubs, and
also hosts the Jewish district with Central Europe's largest
synagogue.
District 8: is near the centre
of Pest, its main line is the 'big' boulevard with century
old houses and theatres.
District 9: is next to the Danube
River in Pest, with many new developments, including the new
Hungarian National Theatre and a multifunction Cultural Centre.
District 10: is in Pest on the
outskirts, another mainly industrial area.
District 11: is in new Buda
close to the M1 national motorway towards Western Europe, a
residential district characterised by Bauhaus style buildings.
District 12: is the largest
residential area in the east of Buda, greenery and woods cover
the Buda Hills, ideal for 
nature walks and tranquility after
the busy city centre. You can ski at Normafa,when there is
some snow in the winter, and in summer it is a perfect location
to relax and take in the view.
District 13: is in the north
of Pest, and is a former industrial area.
District 21: lies on an island
called Csepel.
Hungary is certainly one of the most developed and forward thinking of the former Eastern Bloc countries and with EU support it will undoubtedly grow stronger.
