In terms of population, the capital of Hungary is one of the ten largest cities in the European Union. Budapest is divided into 23 large districts. In general, the city is calm - there are no districts or streets that are considered dangerous for tourists.
Pest occupies the eastern bank of the Danube. The flat part of the city is home to many historical sights and almost all entertainment venues in Budapest. If you are not up to sleep at night and you want a holiday, choose accommodation closer to Vaci street. In Pest, they want trolleybuses, buses and trams. In addition, there are more metro stations in this part of the city.
Buda is located on the right, western bank of the river and lies on the hills. There are also enough historical monuments. Compared to Pest, Buda has more respectable buildings - old manors and apartment buildings of 5-7 floors. On the right bank of Budapest, there are parks and streets that are inaccessible to road transport.
So which area should you choose? We recommend looking for an apartment in the central part of the city. From the Buda side, this is region I, or Budavar. On the Pest side - District V, which includes Belvaros and Lipotvaros.
