Budapest District V

District V is the central administrative area of Budapest, encompassing the Inner City and Leopold Town sections. The area covers compact space but contains numerous public buildings, major institutions, and sites that draw both residents and visitors.

The district formed in 1873 when Pest, Buda, and Óbuda merged to create modern Budapest. This unification reshaped urban structure and positioned this area as the core of the new capital.

The Parliament Building and Saint Stephen's Basilica shape how locals and visitors see this part of Budapest and its importance. These structures stand at the heart of how people experience and understand the city's character.

The area connects well to metro, tram, and bus lines that link different parts of Budapest. Multiple transport options make it easy for visitors to move between sights and neighborhoods.

The national bank and stock exchange are located here, making this area the financial heart of Hungary. This economic role gives the district importance beyond its well-known monuments.
