INNER CITY (BUDAPEST)

The 'Inner City' (Hungarian: ''Belváros'') in its narrow, historical sense forms the southern half of District 5 of Budapest and it is located in the centre of the city. In this sense, Belváros comprises the old town in Pest side of Budapest. The traditional shopping centre of Budapest (Váci utca, i.e. Váci street, and surrounding streets) is located there. The city's commercial life, including banks and travel agencies, is centralized in Belváros.^[1] Many tourists start sightseeing there.
The Inner City in its more usual, broader sense includes the area inside the Grand Boulevard, i.e. District 5 in full (the above Inner City and Lipótváros), plus the inner parts of Terézváros (District 6), Erzsébetváros (District 7), Józsefváros (District 8), and Ferencváros (District 9).
