4. Danube Palace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 229 reviews
The Danube Palace was built between 1883 and 1885, in a splendid Neo-Baroque style according to the plans of Vilmos Freund. At that time it was known as the casino of Lipotvaros - but not in the term of gambling, but an aristocratic club for entertainment. From its built till the Second World War the Palace served as a place of culture, supported many young artists, and even Bartok, Kodaly, Dvorak played in its first-class concert hall. Since 1951 the building was carrying out the cultural programs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Nowadays the beautiful halls and rooms of the Danube Palace are hosting cultural, social and gala events like weddings and Folklore performances.

This is a small theatre that regularly presents concerts of traditional Hungarian folk music and dance. I was concerned that it might turn out to be a schmaltzy tourist event, but both dancers and musicians were top-notch, and I could hardly sit still in my seat. The violinist in particular was excellent. If you'd like to see some of the roots of Hungary's contribution to world music, this high-energy performance will definitely entertain you.

Pesti Vigado This is a more than 150 years old amazing building full of history. It is where Budapest was born in 1873. Where emperor Franz Joseph’s coronation banquette was held in 1867, and where highly-acclaimed concerts took place by outstanding musicians including Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and Claude Debussy. Today, Pesti Vigado is housing interesting contemporary exhibitions and it has an unparalleled panoramic view from its roof terrace over the heart of the city along the river Danube.

Very beautiful historic building of more than 150 years. Here was the banquet for the coronation of Emperor Franz Joseph, and now is a concert hall. The evening it is very well lit.
