Óbuda, Budapest, Central Hungary Region, Hungary


🇭🇺 Óbuda was a town in Hungary that was merged with Buda and Pest on 17 November 1873; it now forms part of District III-Óbuda-Békásmegyer of Budapest. The name means Old Buda in Hungarian (in German, Alt-Ofen). The name in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian for this city is Stari Budim, but the local Croat minority calls it Obuda (the name "Budim" is used for the fortress in Buda). In Czech it is called Starý Budín.

The island (Óbuda Island) next to this part of the city today hosts the Sziget Festival, a huge music and cultural festival.

Óbuda's centre is Fő tér (Main Square), connected to a small square with a sculpture of people waiting for the rain to stop. It is accessible by HÉV (Szentlélek tér station).
