Occupied
No Longer
SAME, BUT DIFFERENT.
Hungary is a country deeply rooted in history, spanning over a thousand years. St Stephen founded the state of Hungary in 1000AD and has since seen occupation from Turks, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. However, the people of Hungary always longed for independence and finally gained independent status in 1989. This publication focuses specifically on Budapest and how hundreds of years of resillience has formed a capital city both bursting with historical pride, and quickly becoming a cultural capital of Europe due to the younger generation of Hungarians today.

VĂĄrkerĂźlet Buda, District I
District I is one of the historical bastions of Buda. Home to the Fisherman’s Bastion, Buda Castle and Budapest’s first bridge, there is an abundance of cultural importance in the district and is aptly named the ‘Castle district.’
BelvรกrosLipรณtvรกros Pest, District V
District V is home to the Hungarian Parliament, and is also one of the creative and cultural hubs of Pest. The contrast between grand, historical buildings such as Parliament and the side streets full of independent coffee shops make District V a home for all demographics.
Erzsébetváros Pest, District VII
ErzsĂŠbetvĂĄros is the cultural capital of the city. The district has the highest population per km2, being only 3km in area with almost 30,000 occupants. Whilst most of Budapest is spacious and grand, District VII is a condensed square of ruin pubs, coffee shops and art studios.
