Budapest District IX, Administrative district in southeastern Budapest, Hungary.
Description
District IX sits on the eastern bank of the Danube River and mixes residential neighborhoods with schools, cultural facilities, and shopping areas. The area spans several distinct zones, each with its own character and purpose.
History
The district was founded in 1792 on farmland and transformed into an industrial zone during the 1800s with mills and factories built along railway lines. This shift from agriculture to industry shaped its layout and buildings for generations.

Practical
The district connects easily by metro, tram, and bus, with Kálvin Square functioning as a main transportation hub. From there, visitors can reach major sites and other neighborhoods without difficulty.
