Budapest
Budapest District III — Óbuda-Békásmegyer
District III contains several cities on top of one another. Roman Aquincum, medieval royal Óbuda, eighteenth-century estate building, Jewish religious life, textile and gas industries and the modern Danube waterfront all occupy the same northern Buda landscape. This tour makes those layers readable without pretending that ‘old Óbuda’ belongs to a single picturesque era.
