Budapest city centre is full of sightseeing opportunities and is otherwise known as the 5th District. Highlights here include the stunning Vasarcsarnok market hall, which dates back to the latter part of the 19th century and features a range of food and local souvenirs. The centrally located Castle District is a particularly historic part of Budapest and features a range of Baroque-style architecture, particularly along the Main Street, known locally as 'Fo utca'.

Nearby, the 6th District is home to a stunning boulevard and a number of prominent entertainment venues, such as Budapest's Opera House. This vibrant neighbourhood is at it busiest during the summer season, when many of the eateries feature alfresco dining areas along the pavements. Those looking for religious gems in Budapest should consider visiting the 7th District, the city's Old Jewish Quarter, where eye-catching synagogues have become major attractions in their own right.
