About the District XIV Area
Leafy, architectural, family-friendly, and culturally vibrant
Think of Zugló as the lungs of Pest. Known as District XIV, this sprawling patch of greenery offers a breather from the downtown chaos without forcing you into the sticks. It starts at the massive, colonnaded curve of Heroes’ Square and rolls back through the stately villas of Istvánmező to the quiet, leafy streets of Alsórákos. The Városliget (City Park) is your front yard here. It was Europe’s first public park and remains the district's heavy-hitting cultural hub, packed with everything from steam-filled thermal pools to space-age concert halls.
