Districts of Budapest
Although Budapest is administratively divided into 23 numbered districts, each with its own local government. Officially they are marked with Roman numerals (I-XXIII). The city is often divided into two parts by Danube River, roughly corresponding to the two major areas called Buda and Pest.
There are six districts at Buda side (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 12th and 22nd), sixteen districts in Pest (5th and 6th district are considered as Historical Downtown) and there is one district (21st) on Csepel Island. Each district has one or more city parts named after former towns within Budapest.
Budapest's districts are numbered clockwise in widening circles, similarly to the arrondissements of Paris. Inner districts have lower numbers (I., II.), while outer districts are marked by higher numbers (XX., XXII.).
The middle two numbers in a zip code of mailing addresses indicate the district number. For example 1026 is a zip code of an address in the 2nd district.
