The 49 best shows in Budapest

St. Stephen’s Basilica (Szent István Bazilika) – A Must-See Gem in Budapest St. Stephen’s Basilica is one of Budapest’s most breathtaking landmarks — a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and stunning architecture. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by magnificent marble columns, golden domes, and intricate frescoes that truly showcase Hungary’s artistic heritage. The panoramic view from the dome is absolutely worth the climb — it offers one of the best 360° views of Budapest, especially at sunset when the city glows in warm golden light. The ascent is surprisingly smooth, with both stairs and an elevator option for convenience. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and reverent, even though it’s one of the city’s most visited attractions. The soft organ music often playing in the background adds to the divine feel of the place. If you’re lucky, you might catch a live concert — the acoustics here are world-class. It’s named after Hungary’s first king, St. Stephen, and even houses his mummified right hand, which is fascinating to see up close. The entry is free, but a small donation is encouraged and completely worth it for maintaining this masterpiece. 📸 Tip: Visit during the golden hour or in the evening when the basilica’s exterior is beautifully illuminated — it’s a photographer’s dream. Overall, St. Stephen’s Basilica is not just a religious monument — it’s a cultural and architectural treasure that captures the spirit of Budapest.

What a beautiful church. The details are incredible. We went to a concert tonight - the music was beautiful. Definitely recommend! Also, go to the Panoramic viewpoint. You can take the elevator up partway, but you still need to climb several floors of stairs- but it was so cool to see the cement structure of the dome!

An architectural masterpiece and one of the most awe-inspiring places I’ve ever visited. The scale, detail, and symmetry of the interiors are unreal - gold and marble everywhere, and the dome feels endless. Climbing up to the viewing terrace (€6-€8) is completely worth it: the panoramic view of Budapest, from the Parliament to the Buda hills, is easily one of the best in the city. You can feel the reverence in the air; even with crowds, there’s a hush that fits its grandeur. Tip: Time your visit just before sunset - watching the golden light fall over the city from the top is a memory you’ll keep forever.

This church is one of my mom’s favorites, and during our visit to Budapest it quickly became one of mine as well. It’s definitely a must-see. You do need a ticket to enter, but purchasing them online is simple, and entry times are clearly scheduled. The area outside can get quite busy, yet inside the basilica it feels calm and organized. The architecture is stunning, and after your visit there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Hello! The in-person ticket office is across the street (off ground), so be aware. The line to get tickets was not long at all. The basilica and panoramic view combination is the best value. There is a discount for seniors (65 years and older). The basilica is a wonder to see! There are many alcoves as well as central seating. Don’t forget to look up as the ceilings are also quite beautiful to see. The entrance for the panoramic view area is near the main entrance and you don’t have to exit the basilica to access. Your choice on walking up the 304 steps or taking a lift to get to the third floor. A second lift gets you up to the panoramic area - there is a limit to four persons per car on that second lift. On the way back down, visit the Treasury for a break in those 304 steps. Enjoy!

St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest looks beautiful from the outside, with a detailed neoclassical facade and towers that stand out from afar. Even without going inside — the interior visit requires a ticket — it’s worth stopping to admire and take photos. One of the most beautiful spots in the city.

Magnificent! I am glad I went into the hall. When step inside, I am overwhelmed in a symphony of gold leaf, embedded frescoes, and natural light streaming through etched windows. The church is nestled in the vibrant heart of Budapest's District V, and stands as one of the city's most iconic landmarks, dedicated to Hungary's first king, Saint Stephen I. This neoclassical masterpiece, completed in 1905 after over 50 years of construction (delayed by revolutions, a dome collapse, and multiple architects), rivals the Hungarian Parliament in height at 96 meters, symbolizing the equal stature of spiritual and secular power in Hungary. With a capacity for 8,500 worshippers and intricate details like over 50 types of marble in its sculptures, it's not just a church—it's a testament to resilience and artistry.

The Hungarian State Opera House is located on the famous Andrássy Avenue in the center of Budapest. Its building is massive and magnificent, in neo-Renaissance style. From the information I obtained from the internet, it was built in 1884 and has the status of a World Heritage Site. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to visit it inside, I hope I have the chance to do it next time.

This one may be smaller than the Vienna State opera House, but it may be more beautiful. Just amazing architecture and breathtaking beauty every direction you look. Take the tour, it is with the money.

Amazing place. Magnificent both inside and outside. Really liked sound here. Enjoyed the best opera in my life. Unfortunately that was terribly hot on the top balconies, but that’s what you have to face while visiting such a historic place. I wish the prices in the bar where lower, but nobody forbids you bringing your own water.

We visited Symphony no. 8 and it was great, so many talented people in one show!!! The Opera itself also worth visiting, looks gorgeous and so royal, not like Vienna’s Opera. This one looks very well maintained and renovated, every sitting place is equipped with subtitles monitor. We had a great evening as family at this place.

One hour tour. First 30 minutes sitting inside the Opera house listening to its history and architecture. Almost fall into sleep. The rest touring the house is good and end with a short wonderful opera performance.

Gorgeous & a must-visit for tourists. Check for timing on English tours & buy tickets in advance. Our tour was fantastically informative & the photo-ops were breathtaking. Best of all - our tour concluded with a LIVE OPERA PERFORMANCE on the grand staircase by a duo of artists from the opera company!!! FANTASTIC!!!

Don’t let the exterior of this building fool you, it may look like just “another historical landmark “ , because the moment you step inside you will be wow-ed by the ornate decor, the opulent designs and most importantly the high profile notes and echos through the hallway

I highly recommend this Museum as your very first stop in Budapest! The history of Hungary is well-organized and presented in an engaging manner! You will better appreciate everything else this beautiful city and rich national culture have to offer! Prioritize the history portion if you don’t have much time. It is worth it! Must-sees: King St. Stephen’s coronation mantle from 1,000 years ago and Beethoven’s piano that was given to Liszt after Beethoven’s death and he, in turn, donated to the Museum. If you have time, visit everything! There is a temporary exhibition that, in my opinion, presents the best concept ever! Fantastic content, pertinent message, immersive audio-visual effects, and much more! The video attached does not make justice to it but it gives you an idea! The Museum offers a Café and a Gift Shop! Many books in English, French, Spanish, and German, including handy Budapest guides. Definitely visit this place! You won’t regret!!!

Wonderful experience! We visited there on a national day, hence it was free entry. The interior of the museum is spectacular, and the contents are very rich; from Hungarian history, to the modern scientific development. You could definitely spend a whole afternoon there. Very recommended!

Compared to the Budapest History Museum, it has a smaller collection related to Budapest’s history, but its interior is stunning. It features an impressive array of military artifacts, including chain mail and various types of firearms and surprisingly visitors can touch these replica collections. It takes 1.5hours to visit the regular exhibition.

The Hungarian National Museum was a very interesting experience. It has many fascinating exhibits and covers the entire history of Hungary. It is recommended to spend at least 3 to 4 hours there. However, the staff could be more polite towards visitors.

Interesting museum that covers a tonne of Hungarian history. I know Hungary has a separate military history museum (which is currently closed) but I was surprised at how little military history there is. There is the ending of the museum sequence but this is more focused on the Nazis and the Soviets (emphasis on the latter). I would agree with other reviewers that it was odd having to get your ticket checked so many times (and that the people checking the tickets couldn't show anymore that they'd rather be elsewhere).

Really annoying concept with a ticket, there are 4 “parts” of the museum and you will be asked to show your ticket in every single one, instead on the entrance only. Museum itself is okay, although there is no any logical order, any unique or traditional stuff - the only extraordinary thing is Beethoven’s and Listz’s piano. A lot of, let’s say “twisted” historical facts that are not really true and really not a lot to do/see. However, ticket price is fairly cheap and still this might be okayish way to spend time in Budapest. PS. There are ticket machines on the sides, if you want to avoid a huge line.

The Hungarian National Museum is a great stop if you’re into history—or even if you’re just curious. The building itself is grand and beautiful, and the inside is packed with fascinating stuff, from ancient artifacts to modern exhibits that walk you through Hungary’s story. Everything’s well-organized, and there are English descriptions throughout, which makes it really easy to follow. Even just wandering the museum feels like a step back in time. Definitely worth a visit if you want to get a feel for the country’s past.

Free to enter. Two places to light tea lights for €1. Concerts of classical music available every few nights, Wed and Sat in August, starting at 7pm for a one hour performance. Overpriced dining options available nearby, as this is a touristy area a with poor quality items, food, drinks, with inflated prices. See the concert here but dine elsewhere.

The oldest still-operable pipe organ in Budapest is the one in St. Michael's Church. 🔍 Key Information •   This organ was originally built in 1801 by organ builder József Herodek.  •   In 1893, the Jägerndorf Rieger company expanded and rebuilt it, retaining its original Late Baroque-style casing and mechanism.  •   It now has two rows of keyboards and pedals, and 25 pipe sets.

Magnificent Baroque church and sound of organ ( J S Bach and Vivaldi) . It was a concert by Teleki Miklos, organist and pianist- this breathtaking experience I will never forget.

Beautiful church near the central market. Entry is free, it is a popular place for classic music concerts cause of the great acoustics. Nice intimate atmosphere and gorgeous altar.

Beautiful to see, Latin Mass choir was amazing, oldest pipe organ in Budapest. The acoustics are heavenly.

Nice church on Vàci Street. Free to enter. They have concerts here as well.

Good acoustic for a wonderful concert. Poor sitting without pillows on a wooden bench . But enough to make you forget this gor a moment in this richly decorated catholic churh .

This is really an impressive building and worth of sightseeing from inside as well. They have prepared the guides in many languages which is very good so people or not limited to english only. It woould be better that the tour was a bit longer and probably more detailed but overall it was fine. Thr big remark goes to the price for entrance which is huge!

The Hungarian Parliament Building at night is breathtaking. As darkness settles over Budapest, the entire Gothic Revival masterpiece glows with a golden light that reflects across the Danube, creating a mirror image so perfect it feels dreamlike. Seen from the Buda side, the building dominates the skyline, every spire and arch illuminated with precision. The reflection rippling in the river gives the scene a kind of quiet grandeur that photographs never quite capture. Up close on the Pest side, the building feels even more impressive. The sheer scale, the intricate carvings, and the warm glow of the stone make it clear why it’s one of Europe’s architectural treasures. At night, the Parliament isn’t just a government seat—it’s a symbol of the country’s history, pride, and resilience, standing tall against the dark sky. The best time to visit is after sunset, when the crowds thin and the city slows down. Walk along the Danube promenade, pause on the Chain Bridge, or simply sit by the water and watch the lights flicker. It’s one of those views that remind you why travel matters: moments of stillness and awe that stay with you long after you’ve left.

One of the most magnificent buildings in all of Europe, pure architectural poetry on the banks of the Danube. The neo-Gothic spires, symmetry, and sheer scale are jaw-dropping, especially when seen from across the river or from a Danube night cruise. Up close, the craftsmanship is even more intricate, statues, arches, and details that feel almost unreal. It’s stunning by day but beyond magical at night, when it glows gold against the dark river. Tip: Skip the guided tour if short on time - the real magic is outside, especially at sunset from the opposite bank or from Fisherman’s Bastion.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Built in a Neo-Gothic style with pointed towers and intricate details, it dominates the Danube’s riverside skyline. Even if you don’t go inside (the interior visit is paid), it’s absolutely worth admiring from the outside. For the best view, head to the Buda side — the sight of the Parliament reflecting on the river is simply unforgettable.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most magnificent landmarks in Budapest and a symbol of Hungary’s national pride. Completed in 1904, it was inspired by the British Parliament in London and built in Neo-Gothic style, with stunning spires, arches, and a grand central dome. Located along the banks of the Danube River, it offers a breathtaking view both by day and night, especially when illuminated. Inside, visitors can admire the Holy Crown of Hungary, ornate halls, and impressive architecture. Truly one of the most beautiful parliamentary buildings in the world.

One of the most stunning structures I've seen. Incredibly beautiful. From all sides. From any distance. Top 1 in Budapest. The photos look unreal, but they're real!) I highly recommend a tour inside. It lasts about an hour. Available in different languages. You definitely need to book in advance for a specific time, because the number of spots is limited. You might wait a couple of hours if you don't book. This is an active government building, so there are security measures - you need to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. Of course there are items that are prohibited from bringing inside. Regarding the parliament inside. Very atmospheric. A completely different style than the exterior. In my opinion there's too much gold) but it's definitely worth it

Sadly Parliament was in session and so we couldn’t do an inside tour but the outside of the building is mesmerising; especially at night. Birds hover and fly over it presumably catching all the insects the lights attract but the why they glimmer in the light make them look like moving starts. It is a wonderful sight to see. Also ensure you check out the front as they have a reflective pool which offers some unique pictures too. Love how open the building still is not yet ruined by over burdensome security measures.

Great art direction of the museum. You don't get to know the actual history cause everything is in Hungarian and the only English are on a paper in each different room that summarizes what are you going to see in that room

I can’t recommend this museum. It’s overly pompous, yet surprisingly small, bad structured and without an (audio) guide it becomes almost entirely uninformative - at least for a foreigner. There are no labels on the exhibits, only some leaflets. Unlike in real museums, where you can learn from the objects themselves, here you can’t – everything feels random. There were many bored students and elderly visitors who seemed unsure why they had even come. In the end, the whole place feels to me more as propaganda than education. Definitely not recommended.

Definitely not worth the price. I highly recommend not going. There is almost no English description at any exhibition in such a touristic museum, which is quite embarrassing. Without buying the audio guide, you won’t understand anything at all.

Luckily we were there on 23 October National Day so it was a free admission day, otherwise I don’t feel want to pay 10 💶for this😂 It was a loooooong line outside we waited like more than 1 hour. It was super full in the museum all rooms are packed with students and tourists. All displays are not in English so it’s hard to follow.

This museum is very interesting and deals with the post WWII Hungary till the fall of the iron curtain. I highly recommend the audio headsets. Each room has a separate audio explanation. It will only move forward till you move to the next roo.. another plus is bathroo s on each floor.

Brilliant museum, well put together and the audio guide was especially impressive. A must visit for those interested in the Nazi/Soviet occupation of Hungary.

Great history museum. The audioguide is a 10 out of 10. To improve, it made me uncomfortable to see some of the staff standing for hours, at the outside and inside entrances. They should do short one hour turns in those hard positions. But great museum.

Buda Castle in Budapest is absolutely spectacular. From the moment you arrive, the scale and elegance of the castle are breathtaking. The panoramic views of the Danube and Pest side are incredible, especially from the terrace. Inside, the museums offer fascinating exhibitions that mix history, art, and culture, making it more than just a sightseeing spot. The castle grounds themselves are wonderful to wander, with charming streets, courtyards, and little cafes where you can take a break and soak in the atmosphere. It’s a place where history and beauty come together perfectly and definitely deserves plenty of time to explore.

Definitely worth visiting when in Budapest. Great views of the Pest side from the castle. It is truly spectacular at night with the lights on. There was a lot of restoration work being done so the scaffolding and equipment takes away some of the beauty of this place.

Very big castle and ancient architecture. I have went in the correct time. Because there is rennovation going on one side. Top view will be good for taking photos (chain bridge + Hungarian parliment ) from here..

One of the most spectacular landmarks! Wonderful! Definitely worth a visit. We took the shuttle service which made the whole trip very pleasant, and retained ample energy to visit many interesting spots along the way! It was relatively hot weather so the shuttle was extra helpful. But there is also a public bus service that we realised later.

Magical Walk Through History – Castle Hill, Budapest Visiting Castle Hill in Budapest was one of the highlights of my trip to Hungary. This entire area is a stunning blend of history, culture, and breathtaking views, making it a must-see for any traveler. Perched above the Danube on the Buda side of the city, Castle Hill offers a peaceful escape from the busy streets below. The majestic Buda Castle dominates the skyline and houses both the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum—perfect for anyone interested in art, heritage, and architecture. Just a short walk away is the iconic Matthias Church, with its colorful tiled roof and intricate interior, as well as the fairy-tale-like Fisherman’s Bastion, which offers panoramic views over the river and Parliament building—especially magical at sunset. The cobblestone streets, charming courtyards, and well-preserved medieval atmosphere make the entire district feel like stepping into another time. There are cozy cafés, artisan shops, and quiet gardens to explore, including the beautifully restored Várkert Bazár at the foot of the hill. Whether you're into history, photography, or simply soaking in local culture, Castle Hill has something for everyone. I highly recommend spending a full day here—you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for Budapest’s rich past.

It is one the best things that you can do in Budapest. While walking through Tuna, you Can start from the bottom , the gardens and then take the escalator and again take you time to see the panoramic view of the city. The. It is another couple of minutes and you will end up in royal palace terrace. Super views and amazing ambiance.

Even if you don’t go into any of the museums or the castle itself it’s a fantastic area to explore. We walked up there on our own without a guide or public transportation which was a pleasant walk and allows you to take in the views fully. Great city views too.

A short walk behind the grand statues of Heroes' Square is a surprising and delightful place: Vajdahunyad Castle. It's a wonderful, almost storybook-like location, and unlike a true fortress, it feels more like an open-air museum of architectural styles. The castle is a fascinating sight because it’s not a single, cohesive building. It’s a mix of different architectural styles, with parts of it modeled after famous buildings from various parts of Hungary. You can see Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements all seamlessly blended together. It's a truly unique and beautiful place to explore. We were lucky to visit during a holiday, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The highlight for us was the medieval stand for play. It was a fun and unexpected addition to the visit, with people in costumes and games that added a sense of excitement and history to the beautiful setting. It’s a great example of how this castle brings the past to life. Vajdahunyad Castle is a wonderful place to walk around, take photos, and simply enjoy the peaceful park setting. It offers a great mix of history, architecture, and a fun atmosphere, making it a highly recommended stop right next to Heroes' Square.

It's not very big but it's the most beautiful castle in Budapest surrounded by large garden with lush greenery and even lake with ducks frolicking around. Many blueberries plants just front of the castle. Can really relax here and enjoy the scenery for whole day. But the castle main entrance has very old wooden gate hanging precariously showing all the sharp planks which looks scary as if will fall on to you when you walk below it.

Vajdahunyad Castle is an amazing spot for anyone visiting Budapest. Built in the late 19th century, it sits inside City Park, a beautiful and peaceful place to walk or relax. Close to Heroes’ Square, it’s perfect for photos and to experience a bit of Hungarian history and architecture in one visit.

Very interesting place. Recommend to see on your visit. Modeled after Dracula's castle. The original structure was built in the latter part of the 1800's of temporary cardboard and wood to celebrate the 1000 year birthday.

Nice place to have a quick walk around after visiting the baths and heroes square. Fairy tale architecture. Sinister looking hooded statue on one side of the castle and this mini Dracula on the other.

It’s always my most favorite place in Budapest. The castle is breathtaking like a fairyland. Every single detail of the castle is so attractive and artistic.

Beautiful park where to walk especially during the falls. There is also a music palace, a modern beautiful new infrastructure where you can use toilets for free and have a well done drink inside

Settled permanently in the fairy-tale Zichy palace, the exhibition is vast and carries some really landmark Vasarely works. The H5 train connection makes it super easy to visit, even for people that don’t know the Budapest transport system. Given the importance of the works here, the authorities could maybe create more of a ‘buzz’ about the place: visitors’s reception centre, enlarged shop, for instance. But well worth getting on that H5 to Szentlélek.

This is a museum devoted to the work of Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely. It feels a little isolated and under appreciated but this museum is well worth a visit. You'll probably have the galleries to yourself and that's fine. More time and space to appreciate the work of this artist. Inside the museum compound is a garden that has a few chairs and a nice place to relax. The museum is easy to get to by public transport. We rode a bike there and caught a train back to central Budapest. The train stop, Szentlélek tér, is literally outside the museum.

What a great surprise to find this museum! And what a great museum it is. Very well presented and laid out. The variety of work was excellent. If you are a fan of Vaserely, you will NOT be disappointed

Great artworks, interesting building. Also some newer, young artists can be seen in a parts of the exhibition. There is an art station for children to try it out, but we happily crafted our own too. Was very low density and nicely chilled building to escape the summer heat.

Beautiful pictures!! In particular the colored paintings were absolutely impressive. It's a small museum, with few visitors. It feels very familiar. The museum's shop is really cool too. I bought a bag there. Definitely worth a visit!

I really love this museum , was one of my bucket list places to visit and I do not have any regrets!!! What a great place, lots of his art work and biography also it was a pretty large museum, the only thing is a little out of the way , if you get the app of “Bolt” which is like Uber but faster you would get there in no time, the have buses and train but I did not want to deal with getting around and getting lost on a boat or train…

Located off the beaten path. Very nice exhibit space located in a house. The second floor is gorgeous. One can clearly see the evolution of Vasarely's art journey. The whole second floor has gorgeous pieces that tickles your brain. You have to enter the gift shop in order to get to the yard and towards the ticket counters. It is quiet and quite cool in the building. The yard is also enjoyable with shade. One of my favorite places in Budapest.

I recently visited the House of Music (Zene haza) in Budapest, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the stunning architecture—the wavy, nature-inspired design and the light-filled spaces create a harmonious and uplifting atmosphere. The exhibitions are interactive, engaging, and beautifully curated, making music come alive in the most creative ways. Whether you're a classical music lover or a fan of modern beats, there’s something for everyone. The sound installations, historical displays, and hands-on exhibits made learning about music both fun and inspiring. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the welcoming vibe. The surrounding Városliget (City Park) is the perfect place for a stroll before or after your visit. If you're in Budapest, don’t miss this gem—it’s a celebration of music, culture, and innovation that will leave you feeling inspired. **Highly recommended!**

We loved this museum. A wonderful overall history of music development with a great section on folk. Excellent headphones are provided and you’re auto connected to all exhibits as you walk around. It’s effortless, integrative, and a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

The House of Music Hungary is a cultural center that stands out for its beautiful exterior architecture, located within a charming park near Vajdahunyad Castle and Heroes’ Square. I didn’t get to visit the interior, but the outside alone is worth seeing, and it seems like a very interesting cultural space. The entrance is paid.

I loved so much the experience and the fact that every room had an interactive way of teaching, either through visuals or a short tutorial for dancing. The fact that every room and every section of the room could connect to your headphones and play a sound was truly so fun and also captivating. We spent a good amount of time here and for a cold day in December this was the perfect activity to do while our visit here. I will leave some photos without giving too many spoilers, because this place really deserves a visit.

I was walking around the City Park in Budapest and came accross the House of Music Hungary where a band was rehearsing. It sounded pretty good so I went back in the evening to attend their open air concert at the House of Music. It was a great experience. Good progressive rock in the beautiful surroundings. You have to see and experience It to know what I mean. And remember: Be quiet and do not talk while the musicians are performing. Do as the Hungarians and pay attention to the performers.

The amazing House of Hungarian Music, located in the 200-year-old city park of the capital, offers not only aesthetic but also auditory experiences. The architectural design by the Japanese studio SOU FUJIMOTO ARCHITECTS is part of Liget Budapest — the largest cultural revitalization project in Europe, involving the construction and modernization of cultural institutions within the park’s green areas. The architecture is inspired by a forest of sounds. There are very interesting concerts and lectures held here. When you’re in Budapest, it’s always worth checking out what’s happening at this place.

Such a cool museum. Even our friend with very little musical background really enjoyed it. And the way the museum uses technology to present the content is really fantastic. Our permanent exhibit ticket was for entry at 16:15, with a museum closing time of 6pm. We thought that would be long enough, but I really wish we’d had another 20-30 min.

Dürer Kert is one of the music venues and night club for rock, indie and electronic music in Budapest especially live performances. It has a big hall and big scene and also second hall. There are really famous local groups performing. Since 2021 their new place is huge and There is a bar, you can buy ticket online and on the premises. Only not-well-planned part is cloak room, at winter, there is a long queue to give and take away your belongings. It has a spacious garden looking at Danube with hammocks, to play table ball, petanque and to grill or cook in cauldron (to cook gulyas leves : ) and required material even fuel is provided by Durer Kert personnel) It has a huge car park with Wheelchair-accessible car park. Wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilet and seating is available. You can go there by bus as well, 133 is the closest one. The venue is a little far to the city center and not easy to reach. But by car, they have a huge car park as I said. You can buy ticket online from their website or queue before the concert, but recommend to go there in advance and chill at the place.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly great spot for live music and laid-back summer evenings! We went to a small weekday concert by the Platon Karataev Duo, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The garden is beautifully lit after dark, creating a very pleasant vibe. There were four open drink stations, so no long lines, and the prices were fair. Another big plus: Dürer Kert is right by the Danube, just walk down the steps and you’re at the water. All in all, highly recommended; we’ll gladly come back!

Staff was extremely friendly, guided very well and welcoming guests with smile and main floor was awesome..all-around the vibe was soo perfect for clubbing !! Must visit in Budapest !!

Sound was good, cool venue with a good line-up and massive outdoor space. I wish the weather was better when I was there, so we could enjoy the Danube shore, but anyway. The crowd is also, you know, young people, so it’s a pretty friendly and welcoming place.

Cool place for both indoor and outdoor events, music ranges from acoustic cover bands to psytrance, there's something for everyone. Prices are okay too, plenty of places to sit and the dancefloor is big too. Security guys can be off-putting sometimes, also it's on the Buda side of town so some atrocities are par for the course

Great venue for metal shows. I saw Thrown and Crystal Lake here. The sound was amazing!!! Good bar service also.

There is no doubt this is the best gig venue in Budapest. The acts they book truly show that they know music, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai, God is an Astronaut etc. The place is cool, great location and reasonable prices

Incredibly beautiful. You can walk around much of it without having to pay. If you want to have full access to the top you can either go to one of the restaurants attached. However you can always see panoramic views of the city for free from multiple other locations nearby. But breath taking photos nonetheless.

Beautiful place up on the Buda side. The views are nice and it looks incredible when the lights go on at night. We did not go inside but admired the beautiful architecture from the outside. Definitely a must do when in town.

After the Parliament building this was the most impactful building in Budapest in terms of its striking beauty and architecture. It was very Harry Potter’est looking in places. We walked up there ourselves starting at the Buda Castle and walking along the top which is the best way to explore the area. You can only enter the ramparts of the building with a ticket but you get equal views without having to go on the ramparts. It’s also stunning at night. Don’t forget to also check out the presidential palace near by.

Absolutely breathtaking views over the city. Also great to just walk around and see the old sites and fort and it can all be done for free too. You can also purchase tickets and pay extra to go inside the church and walk up the walls but we didn’t do this and it still sufficed

A must visit attraction whenever you’re in Budapest. Went for sunrise and it was one of the best views I’ve ever seen. Less crowded at sunrise as well and you’re able to get some nice pictures.

Loved this place so much, visited multiple times during the holiday, day and night. Misunderstood what it's first, as its only few towers and a defence wall kind of structure with a restaurant in one of the passage ways, no museum. Need to pay for one of the higher towers, but we didn't. Needed to wait for picture opportunities, but was fine.

Just a lovely place. We didn’t buy entree Tickets. The outside is more than enough. Don’t miss the gorgeous scenery downstairs. On a bright day, a large portion of Budapest will present itself down below and in the distance. The Matthias church on the left was also breathtaking. (Didn’t care for the inside much, personal taste) This whole district(1) is just one stunning building after another. And some nice greenery and little touches in between.

Visiting the Chain Bridge in Budapest was an unforgettable experience. Walking across this iconic bridge offers incredible views of the Danube River and the city’s stunning architecture. The bridge itself is impressive, with its historic design and beautiful details that make it perfect for photos. It is especially magical at sunset when the lights start to illuminate the city. The area around the bridge is lively and easy to explore on foot, making it a great spot for a stroll and taking in the atmosphere of Budapest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

This wonderful bridge is definitely the most beautiful bridge of Budapest, symbol of the Hungary and an absolute must-see for any visitor. Connects Buda and Pest. From the bridge, you get perfect shots of the Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament, and the entire river panorama. The atmosphere after dark is magical

A special, impressive construction. It gives a special charm to the area and very interesting perspectives from both its ends but also along the pedestrian passage. Walking on the bridge allows you to capture some special images of Pest, Buda and the Danube.

The Chain Bridge in Budapest is truly one of the city’s most stunning landmarks! Walking across it during the day gives you a beautiful view of both Buda and Pest, but it’s at night when the bridge becomes absolutely magical. The whole structure glows with warm lights, reflecting beautifully on the Danube River and creating a breathtaking view of the illuminated Parliament and Buda Castle. The atmosphere feels peaceful yet full of life — perfect for an evening stroll or photos. Definitely one of the highlights of Budapest that shouldn’t be missed!

The most famous bridge in town. Views on the bridge are good during the day and arguably even better at night. It seems like a long bridge but actually takes maybe 10 or less minutes to walk from one side to the other

I went here in October 2025. I really felt awesome looking it with the pink theme. Very nice and crowdy place. For a good feel and view should visit in the night time. This bridge is special because it connects all main locations.

Such a lovely bridge! The Széchenyi Chain Bridge isn’t just beautiful, it tells stories with every stone and chain. It’s the first permanent link between Buda and Pest, built in the mid-1800s. I loved the elegant lions at each entrance (and the fun local legend about their tongues!), the sweeping views over the Danube, and how the lights at night turn the whole thing into a fairytale. Also really admire the resilience, destroyed in World War II, then lovingly rebuilt. Definitely more than just a bridge, it feels like a symbol of unity and history.

It is a pleasant location to explore and capture memorable photographs. The scenery offers ample opportunities for creative compositions and stunning visuals. Although the surroundings are beautiful, the dining experience could be improved. Hopefully, future visits will bring enhancements to the culinary offerings. Overall, it remains a lovely place to visit.

We visited the market hall on a Sunday and were really impressed. The building itself is beautiful, and there are many different stalls offering local delicacies. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the people were very friendly. The only downside was that, since it was Sunday, some of the stalls were closed. Because of that, I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit!

It is the largest indoor market in Budapest, located at one end of the famous Váci utca. It is located in a building whose facade is built in a neo-Gothic style, very pleasing to the eye and in harmony with the architecture of the neighboring buildings. Inside, on the ground floor you will find many shops with local cold cuts, dairy, wines and other products. In the basement is the fish market. You can reach the upper level by several stairs but also by an escalator, located in close proximity of the main entrance. Access to the shops on the first floor is along corridors that look like balconies. Here are numerous gift/souvenir shops but also the Fakánal Etterem restaurant, which, if you want to taste the flavors of traditional Hungarian food, you must definitely make a stop. We did and we did not regret it. At lunchtime, when we arrived, we had to be a little patient to get to the desired menu, but it was worth it. I treated myself with a goulash soup and a portion of stuffed cabbage rolls. Everything was very tasty. I consider this place to be recommended to visit.

The Central Market Hall in Budapest is a wonderful place to explore if you want to experience local Hungarian culture in one spot. The market is housed inside a beautiful, well-organised historic building that feels lively but not chaotic. Everything is neatly arranged, and it’s easy to navigate through the different sections. You can find plenty of authentic Hungarian products here — from fresh local vegetables and spices to handmade crafts and souvenirs. There are also food stalls offering traditional dishes, so you can enjoy a snack or meal right inside the market while soaking in the atmosphere. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their products, making the experience feel genuine rather than touristy. There’s a good mix of local shoppers and visitors, which adds to its charm. The market also has clean, paid toilet facilities, which is convenient if you plan to spend more time browsing. Whether you’re looking for paprika, embroidered linens, or just a good place to people-watch, the Central Market Hall offers it all. It’s an enjoyable and colourful stop that captures the real spirit of Budapest in a single building.

Lots of fresh food of all varieties, including meat, vegetables and baked goods. Paprika of every flavor and size. Goodies to eat and souvenirs for the trip home. It can be very crowded so have some patience. Many of the vendors are closed on Sunday, especially the fresh food vendors.

A traditional and interesting market to visit in Budapest. It’s worth checking out for its architecture and the variety of local products like spices, wines, and embroidered goods. It’s also a nice spot to buy souvenirs, but prices tend to be a bit higher, especially at the shops near the entrance.

Architecture wise it’s a beautiful building and so we only spent a few minutes inside as the numerous market stalls didn’t really appeal to us. You can however find various stalls to suit various tastes from meats, fish and other food stalls to more traditional Hungarian shops. There were also a number of restaurants inside.

We were staying just a few minutes walk away from this museum but would have visited anyway. Very worth a couple hours and reasonable entry fee. I would only suggest a little investment in the audio which was not working and some new headphones. Museum was bigger than expected and had many historical stories

Really interesting museum with well laid out exhibits. All of the text is available in English however some audio was only available in Hungarian. A guided tour of the synagogue would have been beneficial.

To get a Life's perspective, visit this Holocaust Memorial. Learn, forgive, and love again. So many people were terminated for no other reason than the misguided passion for hate. This memorial center captures humanity's worst hours. But it also reflects that good will always overcome evil.

Remarkably good, ml big and emotional history of the holocaust with a focus on the hungarian jews with detailed life histories of specific individuals. Very small museum. Mostly hungarian and not as english friendly. Moving. Painful. Illustration of man’s violence on its own. The museum staff needs to do a much better job of the audio guide and educating visitors before they enter. The House of Terror has done a remarkably better job than this museum in visitor education and narration.

Unforgettable experience. The most important place of the Holocaust history because Hungary was a key country where the most jews were taken to the concentration camps. You should specially pay attention to the personal family stories of the era. Be aware if you go with kids they might be restricted to enter due to the cruel images and historical accounts of cruelty that is not suitable for children.

Holocaust Memorial Center is a national institution established by the Government in 1999. In 2002, it decided to construct the building of the Center in Páva Street, outside of the traditional Jewish quarter, further emphasizing its national character. The invading German troops included a Sonderkommando led by SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who arrived in Budapest to supervise the deportation of the country's Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland. Between 15 May and 9 July 1944, over 434,000 Jews were deported on 147 trains, most of them to Auschwitz, where about 80 percent were gassed on arrival. The deportation was powerfully assisted by Hungarian authorities. The Holocaust Memorial Center focuses entirely on Holocaust research and education. The visitors are welcomed into a unique space that was named as the most impressive in Budapest, beside the city’s panorama itself by Frank Owen Gehry, one of the leading architects in our time. The modern building is organically linked to the Páva Street Synagogue, an authentic venue that once used to be the second largest site for Jewish worship in Budapest. The Institution is a center for scientific research education and culture. It welcomes visitors with interactive permanent and special periodic exhibitions, experience-based museum pedagogical programs and cultural performances. Guided tours are available in five languages and special, thematically focused tours are offered regularly. A bookshop and a cozy coffee shop contribute to a memorable visit. A toilet is also available for visitors.

We visited this place and were surprised to see how well organized it is... there's written, photos and videos showing the world the unimaginable cruelty taken place during first WW...one can't help but shed tears of sorrow...so sad that human rights can be taken away from you in the most inhumane way...😢😢😢

We did only the permanent exhibit and very much enjoyed it. The spread of art is well done; they have something for everyone. Its not huge, but for $15 USD its very much worth the visit! Many, many steps lead up to the Museum, be prepared. Overall its not designed very well, as many of the hallways dead end into employee only area, but very expected given how old the building is. Dont miss the stairs leading up to the dome as well. The gift shop is very well stocked and decently priced. Free storage lockers for bags and coats. No wait to get in. A+

Really nice museum. I went to multiple art museums in I really liked this one over the others. They had a temporary art nuveau exposition which was the best part. The permanent exposition is very diverse from fine arts, modern and contemporary. Is very big, I would advise dedicating 2-3 hours walking fast. The only con is the cost, around 7000 ft is too much imo.

There’s a lot to see in this museum, so take your time. And my case which most people do not do I paid for a private tour through the crypt. It was fascinating. The Tour Guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and gave me a two hour private tour. It was costly it cost $88 But that included up to 12 people. I was there during the Art new fall poster exhibition, which I really enjoyed. I also went through the contemporary exhibition area when she was fascinating.

Lovely art museum and well worth a visit if in Budapest. Missing a star as the wheelchair accessible entrance was round a corner and via an old lift. The gallery also involved constantly going back on yourself rather from room to room.

I visited the Hungarian National Gallery in Buda Castle as part of my university course from the University of Pécs, guided by my professor. Such a beautiful place! There are so many amazing realistic and abstract paintings and sculptures. The view of the city from the top is just stunning, totally worth the visit.

The Hungarian National Gallery is absolutely worth a visit — it’s filled with beautiful paintings spanning Hungarian art from medieval to modern times, all housed in the impressive setting of Buda Castle  . What to Expect • Time needed: Plan on spending 1.5 to 3 hours exploring the permanent collection . • Ticket prices (as of now): • Full price: HUF 5,200 for the permanent exhibition . • Concession (youth aged 6–26): 50% off, which brings it down to HUF 2,600 . • Free entry: Children under 6 and seniors over 70 (EEA citizens) get in for free . Highlights & Tips • The gallery showcases a wide range of artworks — medieval, Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque, 19th-century realism, and modern Hungarian art  . • It’s centrally located in Buda Castle, making it easy to combine with other nearby attractions like the Castle District . • The price-quality ratio feels fair — you’re paying for both the artistic experience and the historic context of the venue

If u love art galleries/museums, this will be interesting. It has permanent exhibits and temporary ones. The gallery is spacious and exhibits are clearly arked

Food was quite good here. Goulash was average but the spicy chicken and beef dishes (I don’t know the Hungarian names) were really good. Meat was really tender and the spicy sauce was amazing. Would certainly come back given the chance

A real family-style restaurant with long traditions, great service, and most importantly exceptional food. Unfortunately, Hungarian dishes are not the most photogenic (or my photos are lame), yet I can guarantee that the dishes served are both authentic Hungarian dishes (some with a Jewish twist), great in flavour, and very reasonably priced. Overall, great value for money.

Had lunch at Rosenstein Vendéglő, a long-standing family restaurant known for Hungarian classics and Ashkenazi Jewish dishes done with care. I had one of the chef’s offer dishes — pan-fried goose foie gras in Tokaji sauce — which was rich, silky, and beautifully balanced. Their goulash was excellent too, comforting and full of depth. What surprised me most though was the sourdough bread: crusty, airy, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time (and I say that as someone who takes sourdough seriously). It was definitely a memorable meal in Budapest.

I loved everything I eat here. The goulash soup is best I had in town. The Jewish cake was traditional and delightful. The service was professional. They have a huge menu variety and I will definitely come back again.

Beautiful authentic Hungarian restaurant with a charming atmosphere. Received a recommendation from a local friend and we were not disappointed. The menu was extensive and everything we ordered tasted incredible. Professional, prompt service and very reasonably priced for such a good meal - would recommend to anyone.

The food didn't taste so fantastic for us but it might just be what we ordered. The potato croquettes was very good though. I also liked the desserts. The reservation list was a bit of a mess but might be due to the language barrier. The service could be better but wasn't bad. The place is clean and cozy.

We ate here based on the recommendation of a local guy my friend met in the train and I’d say that we love our choice of food and it was worth the commute all the way from Visegrad. Didn’t had the photo but we also ordered a gundel pancake as per his recommendation.

Really quick and easy to make a reservation. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the seafood linguine. The place was packed around dinner time so the service was a bit slow but apart from that we had a fantastic time.

⏳️Fast service: 5/5 🫶Friendly service: 5/5 🍕Tasty food: 5/5 💸Value for money: 5/5 Located in a quiet neighbourhood, it's a perfect spot for dinner with friends and family. Warm atmosphere, and delicious pizza with some intriguing positions on the menu including pizza with pumpkin sauce - very tasty.

We tried the Prosciutto Fanghi pizza, some tagliatelle (or spaghetti), a few appetizers, and also the ravioli—which was homemade from scratch. Everything was good and we enjoyed our meal overall. The ravioli stood out as especially fresh and flavorful. For me personally, the tagliatelle could’ve been cooked a bit more, but it was still enjoyable in the end. A nice experience!

Went here last and loved the vibe and service, however my steak was a bit overcooked (still tasted great) but find it odd they asked me how I wanted the steak just to cook it their way. The pasta and pizza is amazing though!

One of the closest experiences to authentic Italian food I’ve had in Budapest. I tried several different dishes, and they were consistently good. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. The restaurant design is simple and cozy, but during busy hours, it can be hard to find a seat as the indoor space is quite small. Personally, I prefer the outdoor seating area. The service is prompt, and the staff are friendly and professional. My top recommendation from everything I tried would definitely be the lasagna.

Very disappointed, the waiter showed his displeasure because I wanted to eat outside and he was cold…. In addition, he served me a really small glass of wine and then served large glasses of wine to pretty young women in front of me out of pure interest, the spicy oil was old and tasteless. I am disappointed because I came this summer and everything was impeccable. When it came to the bill I could see that he charged me for the tap water and gave himself a tip without my consent… goodbye Al Dente.

We had lunch here and it was amazing! Delicious authentic Italian food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a cozy walk around after.

A complete miss for us. We visited the exhibitions and explored the building (combined ticket), but it was too little and the exhibitions design was not great. The building is gorgeous, it's too bad that when visiting the concert hall, You don't get to feel the experience of being at a concert, even the one musician. The ticket check at each point was redontent and annoying (just give the one option for the ticket, and cancel the ticket checker personal, hire one musician instead and let them play in the concert hall, while people going in and out or give the space to music students). Too bad.

A hidden gem in Budapest! Fully renovated concert hall! It's not expensive to visit the building. Around 2 500HUF. It's worth it if you enjoy the Hungarian style and taste! Helpful staff and not crowded! I was

We love all VakVarjú restaurants, however VígVarjú is a crown jewel of all of them. It's located in a fabulous historical building, the cousine is high end for us in terms of quality and ambiance. The service is excellent, I highly recommend it to anyone, who likes to taste Hungarian flavors blended with top-notch international dishes. We'll done VígVarjú!

Wonderful environment, great food :)

One of the most beautiful venues in Budapest. Remarkably well renovated. Best placing by the river, it's a pleasure to get there as well. Good place to watch live transmissions of performances from the Royal Opera House.

Not expensive, but not necessarily worth visiting unless you're going for a specific event. It's a gorgeous building inside, but you have to pay to wander around and there's not so much to look at. They do have a roof terrace with an excellent view of Buda across the river.

Vigado is a beautiful building with an open balcony offering a unique view over Gellert Hill and the Castle District. It costs HUF 1500 to access the balcony, which also gives you access to the exhibitions in Vigado, which is a very important cultural venue going back to the 1800s, particularly for music followers. Bearing in mind that you pay simply to enter this venue, we were disappointed by the service and communication level of the staff. It was difficult to understand where you can and can't go. Be ready for to be sharply admonished if you step one foot in the wrong room or turn in the wrong direction :-) They watch every movement you make!

I make it a point to visit cemeteries in every new city I go to—so by now, I’ve been to quite a few. But this cemetery? Hands down the best I’ve ever visited. It felt more like an arboretum than a cemetery—so peaceful and idyllic. I could’ve easily spent 4 to 6 hours wandering around, but with time constraints, I only managed about 2 hours. Be sure to check out the grand mausoleums of famous Hungarian leaders. They’re a striking reminder of how wealth and privilege can buy you a space larger than most homes—and also a fascinating history lesson. I ended up learning a bit about Hungarian history, culture, and politics just by reading about the people interred in those mausoleums. Kindly take note, almost everything here is written in the local language, so you'd have to do a spot of Googling on your own. This place really stirred something in me. It’s definitely worth coming back to Budapest for, so the next time round I get to spend at least half a day here, just loitering and reflecting.

Kerepesi Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I visited in Budapest. It’s not just a cemetery, but a true open-air museum filled with history, art, and culture. Many of Hungary’s most important figures, politicians, writers, artists, and national heroes, are buried here, and the monuments are incredibly detailed and impressive. Walking through its wide avenues lined with old trees feels like stepping back in time. At sunset, the light filtering through the trees creates a magical, almost poetic atmosphere, making the visit even more special. If you love history, architecture, or simply quiet places away from the crowds, Kerepesi Cemetery is absolutely worth a visit. The only downside is that it’s not very well maintained in some areas, which is a pity for such a historic place. Still, it’s absolutely worth a visit.

Wherever you go in Budapest you are never far from public sculptures and statuary. It seems to form an important part of local identity and you will find it on walls, in parks, and in shop fronts and signage. Here in the main cemetery you will find magnificent examples ranging from baroque to the Art Deco styles. Unusually for European cemeteries the graves are set far apart so it seems like a sculpture park. There are two large and wonderful stone mausoleums, one that you can go to the top of via a staircase guarded by big cats. There is a sign at the entrance showing the location of the most noteworthy monuments and also free paper plans to carry round with you. This is a cemetery with long avenues shaded by plane trees creating a peaceful place for quiet reflection.

Obviously a somber place. But the architecture of the monuments is impressive. There are specimens that are almost 200 years old. Very large territory. You need to allocate 2-3 hours to walk around everything at a leisurely pace. Free of charge.

Fiumei Graveyard is one of Budapest’s most atmospheric and underrated sites. Walking through its tree-lined paths feels like stepping into another world—peaceful, eerie, and deeply evocative. It’s not just a cemetery; it’s a vast open-air museum of Hungarian history, art, and remembrance. The architecture of the graves and mausoleums is genuinely breathtaking. From grand, crumbling stone crypts to finely sculpted statues and monuments, every corner holds something visually striking and emotionally resonant. You’ll find the resting places of poets, politicians, revolutionaries, and ordinary citizens, all surrounded by a quiet, almost gothic ambiance. What makes it even more powerful is the presence of war scars still visible today. During the grim days of the Siege of Budapest in World War II, this graveyard became a battleground, and some of the damage remains—a haunting reminder of the violence the city endured. It adds a powerful layer of history and solemnity to the visit. Not your typical tourist stop, but if you appreciate history, architecture, or a bit of ghostly quiet away from the crowds, Fiumei Graveyard is an unforgettable experience. Just bring comfortable shoes—and maybe a bit of reverence.

There is a very evocative atmosphere in this historical cemetery, where important hungarian personalities were buried. The old part with the gravestones between the trees is very suggestive.

Absolutely stunning and well-kept. It’s a lovely place to go for a quiet walk and admire the beauty of the cemetery.

An interesting place where I learned a lot about Unicum – a unique Hungarian herbal drink I had never heard of before. I tasted it (not really to my liking!), but the museum and short film were excellent. Very informative and well presented. There’s also a big shop at the end. Definitely worth seeing if you’re curious about Hungarian culture and history!

We didn’t know in advance that the museum visit included a guided tour. When we arrived, the English tour had just started so we were able to join in right on time. The tour began with an extensive introduction video. Unfortunately, the subtitles weren’t fully in sync with the video, which made it a bit difficult to follow at times. After that, we headed down to the cellars where we were given detailed information about the liqueur. We got to taste five different varieties, we liked the orange and coffee flavors the most. After the tour, we were free to explore the small museum on our own. Big compliments to the tour guide, he was very friendly and patient!

we just did the museum part since guided tour was about 40 min wait. cool experience. the shop has rich variety. museum was basically empty.

At first we thought that there is not much to see and as was wrong! This was an impressive museum, lot's of things to see, history, related, how the business expanded, old products, new products, how war influenced things, this was like an encyclopedia and history museum.

Good to hear about the history of Unicum and how it contributed to the Hungarian history. Loved the tasting sesson. Unicum Barista and Plum are my Favourites 😁

Love to hear the history behind the drink of Hungary. Had the premium Tour... Go for that 😁It was excellent!

Highly recommend the premium tour. Seeing the basement with the barrels and tasting straight from them was terrific. Tour guide was brilliant. You get a lot for your money.

This is another of Budapest’s historic synagogues with beautiful stained-glass windows and a beautiful arch decorated double metal door at the front. However, the synagogue was closed to the public today and it appears there is some major renovation being done to the front portion of the synagogue. We later learned that there is an entrance fee whenever the synagogue is open. We did have the opportunity to enter the side and rear courtyards from the entrance door to the right. This is an interesting area to explore with the many historic photos along the side of the synagogue’s walls telling some of the history of this historic building. In the rear courtyard, you will also find a large metal chuppah or wedding canopy.

A beautiful synagogue. The biggest orthodox one in Budapest. Unfortunately it is hard to meet the local community, because they were kicked out by some people, who have no connection to this place. Tourists however can enter for a fee and the money will land in the hands of those who kick people out of their own synagogue. (The photo was not taken in the main shul, but in the small prayer room)

Interesting synagogue. The Jewish community made an agreement with the monicipalety. The came out with the restoration money and the synagogue will be used for public events also. The stage is movable into the lower floor creating a large hall.

A pretty high entrance fee to just walk around ”one room”. Not much to see as its pretty small. Felt like it hadn’t been taken cared of.

The entrance is 300HUF which is a bit expensive for the size of the building. Although the synagogue's Art Nouveau exterior appears a bit run down on the outside, its interior is beautifully restored and brightly painted, adorned with traditional Hungarian motives, a very unusual Bimah (similar to an altar), as well as original stained glass windows (situated high up near the roof). The staff are very welcome and helpful. It is up to your budget if you want to explore the place.

Very ornate and very unique… Having traveled far and wide to Catholic Churches and Mosques around the globe; I had not myself been in a temple for Judaism before. This is a small but memorable temple in the Jewish quarter that will likely bypass you if you don’t pay careful attention to the front area. It’s very eccentric and very special for certain. I’ve not seen a place like it before… If you are a man you will be given a paper yarmulke or a kippah to wear on your head while in the temple, so don’t be surprised. You have to pay to get in its something like 6€ I believe. It’s small but it’s worth it!

Definitely worth a visit :)

Fine collection of modern art with a regional perspective, and of course the expected Picassos. Current exhibition “Big Bang” is portrayed as, and feels very much, like afterthought without real punch.

Very beautiful on the outside and very empty on the inside. There are few exhibits in my opinion, the whole first floor is completely closed, all the literature in the shop is in Hungarian, I wish there were books on art and architecture in English as well. In general, it is worth a visit to broaden your horizons, but you should not expect much

Currently most of the museum's offer is not available due to renovation. What is worse, there is no warning about it! Moreover, there is a sign inviting people to enter, saying that they're renovating the information desk, but "exhibitions remain open". That is not at all true, as only a fraction is available, and I feel cheated! The person selling tickets just sold me a ticket like everything is normal.

Awesome space, I didn't like the exhibition though. The one in the second floor was cool but the one in the first floor didn't catch me.

Very good exhibition in early 2025 on contemporary women's art, mainly from central and Easter Europe. There are quite a few very strong pieces. There were no nudes and no reference to sex which did make me wonder if the curators were taking care not to offend the conservative cultural sensibilities of the regime in power.

Terrific collection of Pop Art and impressionist art, and the Cologne gallery specifically has the largest Picasso collection internationally, if I remember correctly, very inspiring collection, and the restaurant in the museum goes well beyond the average museum restaurant

Worth the visit for anyone interested in contemporary art. There's always something new to see and learn there. This time I visited young contemporary Hungarian artists exhibition, this is what I appreciate the most - to see it "from the kitchen"

To describe it as a unique experience, you have a very beautiful one.. Congratulations to all who maintain this museum with so much care and passion. This museum is very well thought out and very well maintained and reconditioned so many locomotives, wagons and machinery from the railway industry. You will not get bored. The children are very excited by what they saw and also impressed by everything they did. Maybe the souvenir section should be completed. .... but I recommend it. It is very beautiful. I would be happy if there were more instructions in English as well as explanations of the locomotives, wagons, etc. There is no physical map. Parking is free. It would deserve more attractions for children and some playgrounds... maybe a wagon transformed into a playground...

Its a nice parc, but it would be nicer if not everything if forbidden to reach. And it looks like that lots of material was just put there as a grave yard. Its rusting away, not maintained for the future. As a train lover its a bit sad to see.

This museum is amazing not just for the kids, but also for the adults! We had a great time there!

The museum is a must visit for anyone with an interest in railways. There are locomotives and carriages from all different eras, including tram cars, and also locomotives and hand carts that can be ridden for an extra fee.

This museum is an outstanding tribute to the evolution of railway engineering and travel. The Hungarian Railway Museum combines historical exhibits with hands-on experiences, allowing guests to explore vintage trains and even participate in interactive demonstrations. The spacious grounds and clear signage make for a pleasant and informative visit.

Nice train museum for all ages! Kids really love the small trains which are going around! Definitely worthwhile for a family visit

Great place for train enthusiasts, you can get a ride on a little train all the way round the place. And there are loads of old trains, fascinating !

Nice place, with good drinks and food, well served. The top part, you can sit on the floor without shoes

Amazing bar in the Budapest downtown. Only had drinks there but next time will definitely tru some food. The atmosphere is great, it is quite eccentric but very homely, on the gallery you can sit on the floor even as it’s covered in carpet! Love the decor and real plants too. The staff is very pleasant, the prices are great (650 huf for a pint of lager), overall highly recommend and will definitely come back!

A chill cafe bar ... imagine a bohemian answer to Trader Vics! Luckily, if you're not a cat lover, the feline theme is not central to what this place is about. The Asian feline idols were cleverly purchased from an art importer that was closing down. Everything about this place, from the artwork, to the dimmed down lights and stripped bare brick walls with vaulted ceilings and from the eclectic music mix (reggae rhythms, Asian and arabic strings, tribal beats, jazz, rock and anything in between) to the reasonably priced vegan food and local wine, makes for a chilling ambiance and an enjoyable time!

Great little bar with a cozy atmosphere! Do not underestimate the food here! It’s priced honestly and incredibly good, you could easily come here for a casual dinner and drinking.

Amazing place, withe beers I've never heard of, but they taste like heaven! The cozy gallery will definitely bring me back here, and not just once!

Lovely vegetarian pub! There was a small menu but with a good variety of options - we enjoyed the quesadilla and burrito. Friendly service and atmospheric decor - I would recommend coming here :)

Nice vibey place. Didn't try the food yet though

Stunning library which shouldn't be missed in Budapest. One tip - in stead of paying turist ticket to enter (which you could ofc), it's possible to register at the entrance and make a card for 1 euro so you could enter multiple times. I will so come back to this place.

I was shocked, when entered this wonderful library. I could not describe how elegant was the decoration with the quiet rich atmosphere. Would definitely reccommend for studying in silence!🤎 Breath-taking.

The most beautiful library in Budapest！ The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library in Budapest is housed in the stunning 19th-century Wenckheim Palace. Blending neo-baroque elegance with modern facilities, it features ornate ceilings, chandeliers, and grand reading rooms, making it one of Europe’s most beautiful and atmospheric libraries.

My goodness, the palace was so beautiful. Definitely visit, I wish if we’d have got more time in hands to sit and enjoy but I’m happy we visited. What a beautiful library ❤️

An incredible testament to Hungarian culture that this public library exists, is well maintained, and used by university students and researchers. It contains six of the most beautiful rooms I’ve ever seen- even having toured the worlds greatest libraries. This is special. Consider adding a donation on top of entry fee, and remember to be respectful if you’re taking photos.

The palace part is only on the 4th floor. Other floors are modern. It is definitely spectaculous. Also no need to feel awkward as tourists while walking around to visit the palace part on 4th floor. People are actually studying or reading there, but as long as the tourists don’t make a noise, everyone was friendly. The staffs were friendly too.

Some of the rooms on the fourth floor of the library are truly beautiful, but it does feel a bit intrusive to be touring while others are trying to read or study. That said, it's still worth a quick visit to appreciate the architectural style — you can finish exploring in about half an hour.

A hidden gem of 19th century architecture, beautifully restored and open to the public on Sunday. Friendly members of the local community will tell you everything about the synagogues past and present. The top floor also hosts an exhibition on Jewish life in Hungary.

We visited the Rumbach Street Synagogue on Tues 10 June 2025. Such a beautiful and cosy place. The guided tour in english was great with clear explanations . The guide Mr Krisztián Adorján who also does tours in Budapest and tours for this synagogue was excellent, he was so clear in explaining about the history of the synagogue and about how the life of Jews in Hungary, past and present . So we understood how much and how far the Hungarian Jews have come and what the synaggogue and the community meant as well as the struggles, challenges they faced over the years in war time, the holocaust, modernity, the exhausting, sad and painful traumatic experiences of building and rebuilding the community and how they overcome issues and problems. Such a strong and remarkable lovely group of people. May God bless them .

I would definitely recommend visiting this place because it truly is so unique. We just couldn’t believe how beautiful this synagogue was! The details and colours were absolutely mesmerizing. The guide was lovely and knew everything about the building and its history.

Amazing synagogue. A guide inside sat down with us and spent 20 minutes explaining the history of the synagogue and Jews in Hungary and explained about the architecture of the building. We really appreciated his time. There is an interesting exhibition on a family on the top floor. The guide is called A.Kris

Come for the view, stay for the culture. Not just a part of hiszory but a hood place to attend new concerts

Very nice and cosy synagoge and the excursion was super interesting! Thanks Chris for this! He really does this with passion and love! We were happy to come on Sunday - the only day it’s open - it would be great to have more days available for visiting so that more people could see it! Definitely worth it!

I've never been to a Synagogue before. We had the full guided tour . I think the Jewish tour guide was either not feeling well or a bit depressed. It put a bit of a downer on the whole tour. Obviously the historical aspects are very difficult and I understand that. We learned a lot, it was worthwhile. The building is fascinating and definitely worth a visit

What a beautiful experience: small gallery showing Varga’s most exclusive pieces. I was lucky to receive comments on the exhibition by local gallery staff (very nice and professional). The location is easy to find in Obuda, 5mn walking distance from the Vasarely Museum. Worth a visit on a sunny day to enjoy the green of the garden too!!

Super cute place if you like sculpture art. Not too big you finish fast but def beautiful to see. Lovely staff, super friendly had a great time!

Wonderful museum in Óbuda. Imre Varga created many of Budapest’s most familiar and thoughtful statues and you can see designs and models for them here. There are also some hidden gems you might not have seen before. Friendly, knowledgeable staff enhance the experience.

It's a quick sight of the restless intellect and broad vision of Imre Varga. The ticket is cheap and the Museum is nice. Try to combine the visit with Aquincum and the Vasarely Gallery in the same zone.

Very good sculptor museum. My recommendation for those who likes this kind of art

Absolutely fabulous exhibiton of the famous artist Imre Varga! Most kind and friendly people working on the museum. Check it out if you are in the neighborhood.

We were unable to visit because in the year 2024 they do not accept cards or euros to facilitate the visit for tourists. I know that the local currency is the Hungarian forint, but nowadays with international cards why would I carry cash? Even public toilets in Budapest accept euros and dollars.

A popular and busy cafe and bakery beside Rakoczi station. The croissant here are very nice. Soft sweet and moist. Their speciality coffee was also pretty good too although a bit pricey. They have few outdoor tables which is a bonus.

Our favorite breakfast place. We went 2 consecutive days as the variety of products will bet you surprised everytime :) We've tried sandwiches and also sweet products and all were amazing. I especially recommend the pretzel sandwich and the pistacchio croissant.

Easily the BEST coffee and pastries in Budapest. We tried Espresso Tonic, their Kombucha and Matcha tonic. Also had their pistachio croissant and crème brûlée croissant- both absolutely to die for. Also the veggies and goat cheese pasty looked great. For best coffee go to VAJ across the city.

Expensive but there’s a reason why it costs so much. They sell the best pistachio croissant I’ve had in my life. Perfect blend of creaminess, nuttiness and crunch from the pistachio creme. The coffee is solid as well. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for the best breakfast experience in Budapest.

We visited Vaj Bakery and absolutely enjoyed the experience. We tried their famous pistachio croissant, which was really good with just the right amount of sweetness. The vegetarian toast sandwich was warm, fresh, and delicious, and the coffee was equally nice. The outlet we visited had outdoor seating, and it was pleasant to sit outside. They also have multiple outlets across the city.

During my whole trip, I was on the lookout for a proper pastry shop - mainly for croissants and, most importantly, macarons. I stumbled upon this place almost by chance and was more than satisfied! For me, macarons are the true test of a pâtisserie, and here they were truly worthy. Croissants were excellent as well. I also liked the semi-self-service concept - makes the experience simple and relaxed. Highly recommended! 🌿

San Daniele and pistachio croissants were really good and crispy! very flavourful too. highly recommend this cafe!!

A picturesque memorial park dedicated to Liberation of Hungary. A nice spot for families to spend the time around.

Great monument dedicated to the Soviet Soldiers who liberated Hungary from the Nazi. And just a few meters away, at The Liberty Square you can find The Victim of Holocaust Memorial, which is worth visiting.

Awesome memorial celebrating the freedom from the Soviet regime that appears to be a former Soviet war memorial. Includes statues of former war generals, President Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush

A striking and solemn monument in Liberty Square. The Soviet War Memorial honors fallen soldiers of WWII. Surrounded by symbolic contrasts, it’s a powerful reminder of Budapest’s complex history. It’s also nice to walk around the area and look at the historical buildings.

Large memorial to the fallen of hungary fighting against oppression. Quiet location covering large area.

Beautiful section of the city. Quite important to remember the history that the nation has gone through. Very neat and spotlessly clean . Did a bicycle tour and this was one of the stops where we got some local information about the city (and Hungarian) history.

Pretty and well kept monument at one end of Liberty Square in the middle of Budapest. While the monument itself is quite attractive, what it represents isn’t so pleasant. Representing the massive loss of life sustained by the Soviet Red Army to liberate, but then ultimately occupy Budapest and Hungary for 45 years. With current events it will be interesting to see what lies in store for this monument, but it is nonetheless an important marker for history for the city, and for Hungarians as a whole.

We got there late afternoon, mid-week, so only a few stores were open. I expect it’s much busier at the weekend. In the Palace district, great prices as it’s non-touristy. All the stores-keepers and staff were unfailingly lovely and friendly and took the time to give us samples. They also have clean loos. Highly recommended.

A local market offering fresh produce and regional foods. Less crowded and often a better value than tourist spots. There is a Lángos shop inside where you can try freshly made, authentic local fried bread. The owners were very friendly.

This market is a extremely smaller version of the Central Market Hall. Aside from the beautiful building architecture, I didn't find much interest here unfortunately. We arrived around 9am in the morning but the market was dead. A lot of stores were not open. We thought we were perhaps too early so we decided to come back again later in the day. We stopped by again around 2 pm and the market looked the same as it did in the morning. I am not sure if this is because we went on the wrong day but I didn't think this market was worth visiting.

Not many vendors. Some butcher, cheese and wine. One cafe open. During weekdays around 2pm.

Super local market hall unlike the touristy Central Market Hall. This is where very few menu items are in English and so you know the food is cheap and amazing. There’s a great Langos spot in the back corner next to the bathrooms. Have your translator app handy!

3rd largest market hall in Budapest. Very old building with amazing high ceilings and ironworks, there are some great small business in here but many vacancies too.

The fruit vendor sells expensive fruit and vegetables. Had their quality been good I wouldn't mind the high prices but it isn't. The bread at the bread and cheese shop is terrible but this is the case in most bakeries in Hungary. It also sells foreign cheeses at inflated prices. Probably the only cheese that is of acceptable quality at a reasonable price is Hungarian goat cheese. There is also a butcher and a lady that sells eggs. The eggs are actually good and they are not expensive (110 HUF a piece). And yes, there is a spar supermarket (probably the worst chain of supermarkets in Europe where you are always guaranteed to find low quality goods at high prices). If you are a tourist and not aware of how low the quality of the basics every Hungarian household consumes, do come here and see it for yourself.

Easily accessible via tram 37A, which stops directly in front of the enterance. The cemetery is beautiful, gives a jungle vibe from all the trees and greenery, and also quite eerie and spooky, but somehow inviting. It is bigger than it seems. It does not seem to be looked after, but that gives it a special charm. I would definitely recommend it!

Beautiful and serene cemetery. Highly recommended taking a historical walking tour here.

A beautiful small jewish cemetery, close to Orczy tér or Keleti train station. It is usually open during the daytime, so even if you see the door closed, try to open it, or knock on it and the guard will let you in. They keep it closed sometimes, as the area is not the most safe. Don't leave your car around, come on foot or tram. There is no entry fee and you can see a lot of old, beautiful jewish graves, with artistic stones. Some of those are in really bad condition, but some are already renovated. Also, please don't cross the chains, those are marking the paths you can take. Worth a visit during autumn, when the leaves are falling and the whole place is simply beautiful.

The most beautiful cemetery I've ever visited. Easily accessible through public transportation.

This cemetery is a less crowded, overgrown, smaller, much more intimate version of nearby Fiume cemetery. Even without an interest in the Jewish history it would be worth a visit. Even more impactful if you do. Easy tram access, and a must for visitors to Fiume

Its so worth going and seeing if you can get in. But you really need to stay on the path, because there are numerous open graves..... and no one will be there to save you if you tumble in!! Its spooky and sad all at the same time, the crumbling graves & mausoleums just make you want to cry.

More than a cemetery, a place of decaying grandiose beauty, complimented by a sublime atmosphere of utter peace and stillness. Magnificent old collapsing mausoleums and humbler weather worn ivy clad tombstones marking the final resting places of both the notable and less prominent citizenry of Budapest, equal together in death.

A really nice arena: clean, easy to get to, with comfortable seats and such kind, welcoming staff. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Had a great experience going to the Darts Hungarian cup over this past weekend on Sunday. The venue was extremely well organized with easy access and great security, overall just a lot of fun!. Clean facility and easy access before and after the event. Great experience.

We went for the Katy Perry concert. First time to be I. The stadium, it is fabulous! The seats are very comfortable. Very easy to access. All the facilities are brand new. Get out of the metro and just couple mini walk away to the stadium. Very convenient!

Had a blast at the Robbie Williams concert. Good sound and comfy chairs. Great service and a quick entry to the venue. You can reach the stadium by M3 Subway.

MVM Dome is a modern and spacious arena. The venue feels generous, and there was no need to wait anywhere – neither at the entrance nor at the food stands. There were plenty of refreshment options at reasonable prices considering the type of event. We had a pizza for €10, ready in about 10 minutes – a bit smaller, but tasty, just what you want before a concert. Big plus for the organizers – staff were visible everywhere and willing to help. My only complaint is about the entrance: the ticket didn’t specify exactly which gate to use. When I tried to enter, the code didn’t scan, and one of the staff members started shouting at me in Hungarian. Fortunately, another staff member came, explained everything in English, and helped me get in. The sound was absolutely incredible – though that credit goes to the sound engineers. For anyone wondering about the venue’s acoustics, there’s nothing to worry about. Overall, a very good experience – I’d definitely recommend the arena, just a bit more clarity at the entrance would make it perfect.

Superb arena. Spotlessly clean. Superb efficient getting in and out. Two minutes walk to underground.

Amazing place, I ve seen Parkway Drive and me and my bf had an amazing experience that night, definitely wish to come back! Great organisation, no queues, small price for wardrobe

A workshop was organized here, and that’s how I discovered this gem. It’s a very cozy place, the chai latte is delicious, and so is the croissant. The upstairs has been set up as a coworking space. However, there are also tables on the ground floor, and the place is fully suitable for studying, working, or meeting friends. 😊

Very chill community spot in the city. Good to see that these initiatives try to make infamous area of the city feel connected and safe. The second floor is dedicated to co-working, down below you can find designers' works and nice art gifts. I had a cup of coffee and a brownie with raspberries. The coffee was great, but unfortunately the brownie was stale and tough to eat. Very cosy atmosphere with lots of places to have a seat and work or study. There is a book corner with books to grab and read. Cash and card accepted.

Excellent espresso — rich and full-bodied, with a bold, fruity-acidic flavor. Great pastries and a wonderful atmosphere. The perfect spot for a morning coffee or an afternoon break!

Too good for this area, atmosphere is amazing I’m sure they could be way more successful if the location was different. Artistic café and also chill so you can easily work with your laptop. I only tried brownie once it wasn’t that great coffee is sometimes good sometimes not. my original rating is 3.5 but Google doesn’t let me thank you for everything.

A very cool place to have coffee and some baked goods at. This place is modern and light. Their coffee is very good and the bagels and brownies are delicious. It is a place where you can meet a friend for a coffee, but also nice for reading or working on something. The service is friendly and helpful.

Kastner Kommunity is my favourite cafe in District VIII- it is cosy, local, opposite the beautiful II Janos Pal Papa Square and perfect to grab a deliciously refreshing iced coffee and sumptuous pastry. The staff are friendly and inviting, and it is truly a wonderful little coffee shop!

I loved this place. A friend had mentioned it to me. The place is filled with art and plants. I got a chai latte and a coco ball, both were really good. I went to the reading party which was incredible and a super fun experience. I meet some cool people, got to read while a dj played music and got to have some interesting convos. Definitely recommend checking the space and attending the reading party.

Rudas Thermal Bath is a great mix of history and relaxation. The rooftop hot tub was the highlight—modern, super clean, and with an amazing view of the Danube. The rest of the bath was clean too, though older and more traditional. Peaceful atmosphere. Just check gender-specific days before you go. Recommended!

Highly recommend buying your ticket online — I arrived without one and waited around 30 minutes to get in. Inside there’s a great variety: dry and steam saunas, aroma sauna, cold plunge, thermal pools, a regular swimming pool, and the highlight — the rooftop pool with a stunning view of the bridge and the city! There’s also a bar, sunbeds, and a smoking area nearby. Bring your own flip-flops, swimsuit, towel, and robe — they sell them inside, but it’s pricey. I really enjoyed my visit, so I’m giving it 5 stars, though it can be slippery and there’s little guidance at the entrance, so you need to figure things out yourself. Lockers are free, nothing else included.

We booked our tickets a couple of weeks before our trip! Rudas has to be the BEST bath in the city. It has everything. We arrived early in the morning and stayed for 4 hours, exploring everything from the sauna to the cold plunge, the thermal pools and the rooftop bath as well. There was no waiting time once we arrived and got our wrist bands, which opened our room lockers and the gates as well. I would love to come back!

I'm a solo tourist and I literally spent 7.5 hours here! Perfect relaxation. Between the Steam rooms, saunas, rooftop pool, many other pools and thermal baths it is a relaxing Paradise. They even have quiet relaxation rooms and I took a nap. Online I had seen people complain of sewer smell but honestly I smelled that around Budapest in general and it wasn't bad here. You don't need a lock for your locker, just bring a towel, flip flops and a swimsuit if you don't want to pay for one at the shop

The coolest hot tub I’ve ever seen! Amazing place for watching the sunrise in Budapest. The best thermal bath in Budapest. 😊

Just rolled up after the men only session and entered with no problem. It’s expensive but the nearly 500yr old baths are a great experience. Ticket includes access to steam room and sauna as well as the rooftop jacuzzi. It all seemed pretty clean and we enjoyed our visit. ID was required for our 14yr old as that is the minimum age.

Very nice traditional thermal bath, less packed on weekdays. The Turkish bath is amazing it was such a soecial experience. The sauna world with the cold plunge is also nice. I visited many times

Arrived to see Dubioza Kolektiv about 10 minutes before they went on, and got in line for a drink. Over an hour into the show and we were still in line. Finally got warm beers. One of the worst managed bar and venues I've ever seen. (And I've also been managing venues.) Had to be careful which drinks we ordered, after seeing fully open bottles at the outdoor bar (not wanting to drink bugs, thank you). It's a shame that the venue could be making so much more money on drinks. Unless I can bring my own drinks in in the future, I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend going there. Save your money for tickets at a better venue.

Awesome venue, really enjoyed seeing Opeth here tonight. There’s lots of drink and food options.

A great place for any type of venues. I catched P.Mobil here and had a really good time, it was a blast. Bars are all over the place with a really good selection of drinks.

This is a badass club! I recently visited here while on vacation from the US. The sound system was excellent, and the concert we attended was on the indoor stage. Outside, there were seats and tables, and the large outdoor stage looked amazing. I'd love to come back and see some of the other shows they had listed. The bathroom was large with plenty of room for both urinals and stalls. There were lots of drink options at the bar. This venue is highly recommended, and I wish we had a place like this back home!

Ain't nothing like a no muss no fuss venue in the industrial area of a capital; the entrance is right next to the stage, plenty of kiosks to get a beer and the price wasn't the worst either. Could use a bit more ambiance but it's alright

We saw a concert here and it was good. The venue is not that fancy (it is a tent, after all) but the music was nice, the lights were nice and we can stand all right. Parking was not easy though, but still within manageable.

The venue is a little far from the city center, using the H7 line to get there. We saw Opeth and dark tranquility amongst other bands and the sound was good. The VIP has their own sitting area. Overall great

This is a very cool performance venue showcasing musicians and programs almost every evening. There is a bistro onboard serving breakfast and all day menu until evening hours. There are stages on the bow and roof terrace so there can be more than one performance per evening. Stop by if you see a music genre to your liking!

Well.. The Bistro was fantastic..the food..the service.. Then the bars where awesome and nightclub on the top floor was epic.. Fun..good music and friendly people.. Its a must when in Budapest

This place is AWESOME! A floating bar and concert venue. Not only that, but it's a cosy place as well and offers a great quality experience. If ever in Budapest, check out what's going on here. Welcome aboard.

I had a great evening at Tetőterasz even though the weather wasn't super generous! Great house music on a Thursday afternoon into the sunset. Love this venue great to back after 13 years.

Fantastic food and great people. Bit of a walk from the city center, however it’s well worth the walk, and after eating the food, walking back will definitely help you burn off a bit of what you just enjoyed. I was there for restaurant week and the offerings didn’t disappoint. The food looked and tasted too good for me to take pictures, but the main course of braised pork cheeks and roasted potatoes were a must try if they are on the menu when you go. The pickled radishes were unexpectedly delicious and will be adding that to my recipes when I get home. Try it out for yourself

I had two very negative experiences at this club. First, the band I came to see was 2 hours late – something I only found out after I had already entered. I wanted to step outside for some food and a walk along the river, but they told me if I left, I wouldn’t be allowed back in. After waiting two hours, I received a token without any explanation. When I ordered a drink, I was told I had to pay extra. Later I realized the token was probably for a smoker’s cup, but no one explained this to me. I asked for my money back, but instead I was given an extra cup. The bartender upstairs (the shorter woman with black hair) refused to help, and I was left with two cups I didn’t want. Staff speak very poor English and are not friendly toward foreigners. Overall, if you are not Hungarian, better go somewhere else.

I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this club. During the event, some foreign men were behaving inappropriately and insulting young women on the dance floor. What made the situation worse was that there was no security staff present downstairs where everything was happening. I had to go upstairs to find someone to report the problem to, which is unacceptable in a place that hosts crowded night events. A club should make sure guests feel safe and respected at all times. I hope management takes this seriously and improves the security presence and crowd control, so no one has to go through a similar experience again.

A theater born as a cinema a century ago and still bearing the history of communism. We saw a play here that was a bit disturbing but overall quite good, displaying the uncomfortable truth of our day and age where the only things more uncomfortable were the chairs.

Hi! The performance was amazing. The actors/actresses were experts what the did. I totally felt like I would be in those situations. It was a super memory for me. I am sure I will come back here in the future. It's good to be cultured. I just recommend this place! Have a nice night here!

One of the best theatres in Budapest, sadly not for much longer as it falls victim of politics... I hope they can revive somewhere, sometime Go and visit them until you can

So this is a theater, not a restaurant! Previously I saw really fantastic performances here. Now it was the stage adaption of the Dead Poets Society. And it was not good at all. Sorry to say...

One of the best theatres in town in terms of the plays. HUGE plus for the English subtitles. Some of the plays are hard to get tickets for after being played 300+ times. That says everything about the quality. It used to be a cinema many years ago and there isnt much incline, seats are also a bit worn - still great theatre and its highly recommended.

Unfortunately I've seen a horrible stage direction here entitled Teacher Hannibal. Or maybe the actors had a bad day. The harmony was lousy, the forced exaggerated and at the same time ridiculous caricature of patriotism was resembled to cacophony with strong Nazi overtones. Too boring to listen always this type of interpretation. Hopefully next time I can enjoy something more original play here.

Cool building, amazing play. The best I've ever seen.

Wonderful experience: superb piece (Dante Pokol) and exquisite coffee+cake at the Café of the theater. Espresso was comparable to true Italian espresso!

A wonderful theater in downtown Budapest, with a great cast of actors who always know how to innovate and provide insight into contemporary art.

Very Good Experience! Went to watch a play on my visit to Budapest. Highly recommended.

I will rate the place and not the performances. The place looks (and feels) like a bomb shelter. Going for your coat downstairs after the theater is a put-off. The buffet is nice enough.

Nice experience. Saw the All's well that ends well production. It was put together very well. Maybe at some points it was hard to hear the actors because they were not speaking loud enough.

One of the leading theatre not just in Budapest, but the whole country. Interesting and exciting plays, both classical and contemporary. Friendly bar before the show. Tickets sell fast, be prepared well in advance to buy them.

Simply amazing. Some artistic-industrial feeling regarding the decoration, yet I had a great time there. The actors and actresses were dead perfect, I could feel their determination towards their profession. Loved every minute there. I'have been to other theatres in Budapest too, and generally with positve experiences, but this one was above them, really. Flawless, seriously.

We had a late night dinner here, and it was all good food, friendly service, just a bit busy a noisy, but not unexpected from a bar. Fresh veggies sticks and tasty Taziki, chicken sandwich was put together well, and the Shakshuka was like a really good mild chili.

Nice vibes, excellent service, and really tasty food! I had the Hungarian paprika stew, with sausage and egg, accompanied by a fresh salad. Delicious!

Strongly recommend Chocolate croissant! There are many college students studying here, so be quiet! Free WiFi and power sockets are available.

I had the small red lentil soup which was very nice (not spicy enough though). Then I ordered the Slovakian gnocchi and I did not enjoy that dish so much. I found it very dry. When the dish arrived it was ok but as the food cooled down it all became this huge mass of almost a single clogged gnocchi. The flavour was still nice but it felt like some moist was missing there. I tried that dish before in other restaurants and it had some butter or some other liquid running through it.

Superb little gem. Energetic vibe, good food and friendly welcome. Cute dogs (of guests) made the visit even more pleasant. ☺️

sooooooo lovely!! came in the evening for cocktails and small plates and it was perfect. the restaurant itself is a really nice vibe, staff were attentive and the food was incredible. very reasonably priced too!!

The friendly waitress helped me choose, and I was completely satisfied with her advice. They brought me deliciously cooked eggs. The location and atmosphere were excellent.
