Budapest District I, Medieval district on Castle Hill, Budapest, Hungary
District I encompasses the western bank of the Danube River, featuring cobblestone streets, grand architecture, and historical monuments across 3.41 square kilometers.
The district emerged during the unification of Pest, Buda, and Óbuda on November 17, 1873, establishing itself as one of the initial ten districts of Budapest.
The Hungarian National Gallery within Buda Castle houses extensive collections of Hungarian art, while Matthias Church displays Gothic architectural elements and religious artifacts.
Visitors can access the district through metro stations at Batthyány tér and Széll Kálmán tér, with numerous bus and tram connections to other parts of Budapest.
The district contains the Rudas Turkish Bath, which maintains centuries-old bathing traditions and offers thermal spa experiences with views over the Danube River.
