Budapest District X, Administrative division in eastern Budapest, Hungary
Budapest District X is an administrative area in eastern Budapest comprising neighborhoods like Felsőrákos, Gyárdűlő, and Kőbánya-Kertváros. It mixes residential spaces with commercial areas, schools, and markets, creating a transition zone between older and newer urban development.
The area has medieval roots when Rákosmező served as a gathering place for parliamentary assemblies. Later it became a site of early aviation activities in the 20th century.
Felsőrákos retains traces of its village past through street layouts and older buildings that shape the neighborhood's character. Local institutions like the St. László Church anchor community life in ways visible through daily routines and gathering spaces.
The district is well connected to Budapest through public transportation with easy access for residents and visitors. Abundant shops, services, and educational facilities make it a practical residential area to navigate and explore.
Beneath the district lies an extensive network of limestone caves created through centuries of mining. This hidden system continues to influence construction work and urban planning in the area today.
