Budapest District IX

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.

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.

The National Theatre and Palace of Arts serve as gathering places for performances and contemporary art exhibitions that define the cultural rhythm of the area. These venues attract people interested in theater, dance, and visual arts throughout the year.

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.

Ráday Street holds over fifty shops, restaurants, and galleries inside preserved buildings from the 1800s that display ornate facades. This street creates a lively blend of dining, shopping, and art viewings all in one place.
