NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal is set to perform as a DJ on Hajógyári Island this July as part of the 'Bass Paradise' event. This high-profile international appearance is expected to draw significant crowds to one of the district's key event venues.
The building of the former reformatory in Óbuda was sold for 2.6 billion HUF and is slated for complete demolition. A new large-scale real estate development is expected to take place on the site in the heart of the district.
The mayor of Óbuda announced his departure from the DK party and plans to launch a new civil-based political movement. He justified the decision by the need to strengthen local communities and push party politics into the background.
Óbuda is the oldest and most historically significant part of Budapest, currently forming the core of the city's 3rd District. Its history dates back to the Roman era, when it served as Aquincum, the capital of the province of Pannonia, featuring two amphitheatres and extensive urban infrastructure whose ruins remain prominent today. During the Middle Ages, Óbuda was a major royal seat and the traditional residence of Hungarian queens, later becoming the estate of the Zichy family following the Ottoman occupation. In 1873, Óbuda merged with Buda and Pest to establish the unified metropolis of Budapest, though it long retained its small-town atmosphere characterized by vineyards and artisan workshops. Despite large-scale redevelopment into residential estates in the 1970s, the historic center around Fő tér (Main Square) has preserved its cobblestone streets and Baroque architecture. Today, Óbuda is a unique blend of ancient history and modern life, notably hosting the internationally famous Sziget Festival on its Shipyard Island.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
