Budapest District XXII, Administrative district in southwestern Budapest, Hungary.
Description
Budapest District XXII is an administrative division in southwestern Budapest on the right bank of the Danube River, containing residential areas, nature reserves, and an extensive network of cellars beneath the ground. The area spans diverse landscapes ranging from urban neighborhoods to natural forest zones.
History
The district came into being in 1950 when three independent wine-producing towns merged into a single administrative unit. This transformation brought separate communities together under one urban structure.
Culture
The wine cellars below the district reflect centuries of grape cultivation and production that shaped life here for generations. Today, small producers and historic cellars still operate, keeping this tradition alive for visitors to explore.
Practical
The district has schools, public transportation, and government services spread throughout its neighborhoods with postal codes from 1221 to 1225. Getting around the various areas is easy using buses and trams.
Did you know?
The Tétényi plateau beneath the district holds distinctive geological formations of dolomite and limestone that support rare plant life. This natural foundation has also preserved an ancient floodplain forest within the city limits.
