Budapest
Budapest District II — II. kerület
District II begins beside the Danube and keeps climbing: through Ottoman baths, a dervish’s tomb, electrical industry, interwar modernism, limestone caves and the former villages of the Buda Hills. This guide treats the district as a sequence of urban layers rather than a wealthy green suburb, showing how water, technology, architecture and memory shaped Buda beyond the Castle.
