About Budapest

The 23 Budapest districts (kerület in Hungarian) are numbered clockwise, in widening circles like Paris’ arrondissements. They are marked with Roman numerals (I-XXIII). Downtown Budapest districts have lower numbers (I., II.), while suburban districts have higher ones (XXI., XXII.). The middle two numbers in a zip code indicate the district number. For example 1138 is a zip code of an address in the 13th district. Most of the downtown areas are ideal for exploration on foot (though the city centre is much larger than in Prague) but you will definitely need to use public transport as well, if you want to see the most important attractions.

These neighbourhoods have undergone major development works in recent years with new pavements, more parks, modern street lamps, and hip street art.
