Where to stay in Budapest: the best areas

District V (Belváros and Lipótváros): The centre of Pest, by the Danube, the Parliament and St Stephen's Basilica. The best area for a first visit.
Jewish Quarter (District VII): Ruin bars, restaurants and the Great Synagogue. Lively at night, so pick a quiet room.
Buda and the Castle District: Calmer, with the castle, Fisherman's Bastion and the river views, and a short walk across the Chain Bridge.
