Asking for a friend... AI 1 says 2

For first-time visitors to Budapest, District V (Downtown/Pest side) is generally considered the best area to stay. This district offers easy access to major attractions, restaurants, shops, and is well-connected to the rest of the city via public transportation. It's also home to landmarks like the Parliament Building, St. Stephen's Basilica, and Váci Street.

Weather is up and down here today.

Sunny intervals and a fresh breeze, 7 - 13℃.

  1. Artificial Intelligence. Not Al.
