Skylines and views

If there is something that Budapest hasn't got it is an impressive skyline. Tall buildings are banned from the city center and there isn't a single skyscraper in the whole city. In return, the church towers and the ancient spires creates an ancient skyline together with the Buda Castle with the backdrop of the hills on the Buda side. The more flat Pest side is totally dominated by St Stephen's Basilica and The Hungaraina Parliament Building, the 2 tallest buildings in Budapest (both 96m to the top of the spire).

In the outskirts there are a lot of oldfashioned grey and white residential highrises from the commie times. There are many modern office buildings in Budapest, but most of them aren't very tall. The tallest highrise in Budapest is the 23-storey Semmelweiss Medical University from 1976 at a height of 89m.

District VI, the 6th district on the Pest side, is probably one of the nicest districts in Budapest with its cozy alleys and beautiful buildings. The whole Andrбssy Avenue goes through this district the whole way from the Heroes Square to the 5th district. Budapest's largest train station, Nyugati, is also in the 6th district.
