Budapest District XIII, Administrative division in Budapest, Hungary.
Budapest District XIII is an administrative division extending along the Danube River, encompassing neighborhoods such as Angyalföld, Újlipótváros, and Vizafogó. The area combines industrial remnants in the north with modern residential developments and a major shopping center in the south.
The district was established in 1938 and transformed from an industrial area into a modern urban zone through the construction of office buildings and residential complexes. This development continues to shape the area's character and reflects Budapest's shift from the 20th century to today.
The district shows different sides to visitors: the north displays traces of its industrial past, while people today use its green spaces and wide streets for daily life. The southern part feels more modern with residential buildings and a park that offers a sense of escape in the city.
The district is easily accessible through Nyugati Train Station and numerous connections from all parts of Budapest. Visitors can explore the northern side with its traces of the past and then move to the modern southern side with parks and shopping areas.
The area houses West End City Centre, one of Europe's largest shopping centers, drawing thousands of visitors daily. Beyond this modern draw, the district offers quiet streets and hidden corners that highlight the contrast between past and present.
