The II. District of Budapest is located in the northern part of Buda .
Location and dates
The 2nd district borders the 3rd district in the north and north-east . The Danube separates it in the east from the 13th and 5th district . The 1st and 12th districts are in the south . The neighboring towns in the west are Budakeszi and Remeteszőlős and Solymár in the north-west.

The district is divided into two parts. Between the northern part (II / A) and the southern part (II / B) lies the district of Hűvösvölgy , where the mountains form a narrow valley.
