The downtown area covers the territory of medieval Pest when the city was surrounded by a wall system. Inside this border today you can find one of the most famos streets of central Budapest called Váci street, the ruins of a Roman fort, the oldest church on the Pest side and several Art Nouveau style buildings.
The Leopold town (Lipótváros) lies on the northern part of the 5th district of Budapest and is considered as the administrative and financial centre of the country. The area was named after Leopold II when he was crowned King of Hungary in 1790. The earliest buildings in Lipótváros were erected in the classicist style but the district landscape changed continuously and resulted in a mixture of the eclectic and Art Nouveau architectural style.
The most important landmarks of Lipótváros are the Hungarian Parliament, the National Bank of Hungary with its visitor centre, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the building of the former Postal Savings Bank and the St. Stephan's Cathedral with its panoramic view from top of the building.
