WHERE TO STAY IN BUDAPEST: BEST AREAS AND HOTELS
As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, you have a total of 23 districts where you can stay in Budapest. Some districts are remote, not very touristy, more residential or not highly recommended. The best areas are those closest to the center. I add 3 great options for areas to stay in Budapest and have a perfect experience.
1. Staying in Buda (District 1), the most beautiful area to stay in Budapest
For me, Buda is the most beautiful area of Budapest. In Buda you will find the castle and the Fisherman's Bastion, two of the most essential places to see in Budapest.
You have options for hostels, boutique hotels, and some more luxurious options. It is a very quiet area, and not as lively as the Pest part.
Also, the advantage of Buddha is that it is on top of a hill. And some hotels have incredible views of the city. With public transport or walking you will reach the Pest part of the city in a short time.

2. Stay in Terézváros, Budapest's 6th district
District 6 is a little far from the Danube bank. But it is close to several places of interest such as Andrássy Avenue and Heroes' Square. In this area there are also many theaters, museums... In addition, it has a very good public transport connection and you can reach other areas of the city in no time. It is a much cheaper area than Buda. You can find hostels, 3-star hotels... although you also have more luxurious options.
