A neo-Renaissance jewel

About Hungarian State Opera House
The Hungarian State Opera House, designed by Miklós Ybl and opened in 1884, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in Europe. After a long restoration it reopened in 2022, its gilded auditorium and grand staircase gleaming. Take a guided tour by day, or better still, see a performance.
