Lonely Planet's Top Choices
Ferenc Liszt Music Academy
Budapest's premier venue for classical concerts is not just a
place to go to hear music but an opportunity to ogle the wonderful decorative Zsolnay por-
celain and frescoes as well.
Palace of Arts
The city's most up-to-date cultural venue with two concert halls and near-per-
fect acoustics.
Hungarian State Opera House
Small but perfectly formed home to both the state opera com-
pany and the Hungarian National Ballet.
Trafó House of Contemporary Arts
A mixture of music, theatre and especially the cream of
the crop of dance in southern Pest.
Budapest Operetta
Campy fun for the whole family on Nagymező utca, Budapest's Broad-
way or West End.
Uránia National Cinema
Art Deco/neo-Moorish extravaganza - a palatial place to see any
type of film.
