It is situated in the southwestern part of Buda, near the Danube, and belongs to District XXII.

Budafok-Tétény is the official name of the district which covers 43 square kilometers and contains Budafok proper.

Historically, Budafok was ideal for wine production because of the Tétényi plateau and its slopes along the Danube.

Budafok was home to what used to be the most important vineyard of the greater Budapest area as well as Central Hungary.

The leading historical oenological site in Budafok is the wine cellars of József Törley & Co which can still be visited.
