Budapest District XVII, Administrative district in eastern Budapest, Hungary

The district extends across 54.82 square kilometers, incorporating residential zones, parks, and neighborhoods such as Rákoskeresztúr, Rákoscsaba, and Rákoshegy.

The district emerged from the unification of several independent villages and towns, becoming an official part of Budapest on January 1, 1950.

Local institutions organize regular events throughout the district, highlighting Hungarian traditions through music performances, art exhibitions, and community gatherings.
