Lipótváros

Lipótváros (German: Leopoldstadt, English: Leopold Town) is a traditional neighbourhood in the city centre of Budapest, named after King Leopold II.

It is one of the two neighbourhoods of District V, the other one being Inner City (Belváros), which is the old town of Pest.

After the 1989 change Lipótváros gradually became again the business centre of Budapest with many banks and office buildings.

The neighbourhood is rich in listed historic buildings and landmarks.

It became the 5th District of Budapest in 1873 but was merged administratively with neighbouring Belváros in 1950 under the same number.
