About the District I Area
Historic, romantic, upscale, and panoramic
District I, or Várnegyed, is Budapest's crown jewel. It sits high on a limestone plateau on the Buda side, overlooking the Danube with a sense of royal authority.

Living here is like being in a museum, but with better coffee and a 180-degree sweep of the Parliament lit up gold across the water.
