By “right” and “best” we mean close to shopping, sights, nightlife, restaurants etc.
Buda and Pest
Budapest is divided by the Danube into Buda and Pest. Pest (to the right) is the economic and cultural heart of the town where most of the interesting stuff are located. On the Budaside (left) you have the Castle Hill, Gellert bath and all the Turkish baths of Budapest.
