Top 10 Things to do in Terézváros, Central Hungary

December 13, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Me and my partner went here and had the best time it was such a funny experience. For the price of the ticket it is great value for money you get a printed photo per person to keep. We was only in there for 45 mins to an hour but would recommend as a little stop off

Budapest Operetta Theatre

This theater maintains the traditions of the great Viennese operettas since 1898.

Reviewed By sjlm

The operetta was Emmerich Kalman's The Gypsy Princess. We don't understand Hungarian but it didn't matter. There's the guy, the girl, the war, the parents who don't like her--not too hard to get the gist of it. There was a full orchestra, large cast, excellent singers. The theater is beautiful. It was sold out on a weekday evening in May. The audience was really into it--rhythmic clapping with uptempo numbers. No one left early; they stayed through several curtain calls, applauding with gusto. I got tickets online before leaving the US for the first row of a center box. The tickets were about $40! During the intermission, the usher beckoned us to the foyer behind our seats where they served us beautiful hors d'oeuvres and champagne. Thoroughly enjoyable and made us feel a little less like merely tourists. If yu want refreshments at the theater, you have to pay with forints.

Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center

Reviewed By 21ingos - Karlsruhe, Germany

The museum is very small - only seven or eight rooms - but it is worth visiting repeatedly every year because they regularly change all their exhibitions. Only the two rooms about Robert Capa are on permanent display. Capa created timeless classics - probably no need to say more about him. But i found the temporary exhibitions even more impressive. They typically present the oeuvres of one or two Hungarian photographers from specific epoques of photography - this time it was Géza Perneczky's (*1936) conceptual photography and Katalin Nádor (1938-2018), who worked as a museum photographer in Pécs and devolped a strikingly original style of experimental and lyrical artistic photography in parallel, playing with light, surfaces, multiple exposure and other creative techniques. The exhibition catalogue says, quite to the point: "Her secret artistic life reflected the life of creative women working in rural Hungary during the years of Socialism: her work as an artist evolved quietly, without any attention or acknowledgment from the professional scene, in spite of her peculiar, sensual experimentations, and the unique subjective abstraction characteristic of her photographs." Yet the best part of the museum - at least this year, and at least according to my taste - was the presentation of the two winners of the Capa Grand Prize 2019: Antal Bánhegyesy's photos of orthodox churches and christian life in Romania, almost every photo stunning in a different way: some just magnificient, some exhibiting incredible contrast in architecture or other motives, some wonderfully ironic. And then András D. Hajdú's photo series "Szofi’s Life", following the life of young Hungarian Gypsy girl and her family from her mother's pregnancy to kindergarden age (to be continued), presented in an unconventional style that well matches the subject. This is more than just a museum, it is probably even more important for fostering and promoting modern Hungarian photography through the Grand Prize.

Rath Gyorgy Museum

Reviewed By BogsideBunny - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Have been in Budapest several times over the years and wanted to revisit the Applied Arts Museum which I had gone to on my very first trip. Discovering it was closed for a major overhaul, the curators have moved some of the exhibits to this lovely townhouse and have created a compact exhibition leaning heavily on the Art Nouveau period. There are exhibits not only from Hungary but also from some of the other countries where Art Nouveau had a strong impact - France, Austria, Holland, Scandinavia and even Scotland, my homeland, gets a mention thanks to CRM and The Four. I found the Hungarian exhibits particularly interesting as I didn't realise there was such a big influence of AN here. The lady at the cash desk gave me a very interesting book which gave details of all the exhibits which I bought at the end as a souvenir. Really enjoyed this wee museum, guess the content is right up my street but for anyone with even a passing interest in Art Nouveau it's not the worst place to pass an hour. Bit off the beaten track but for me, definitely worth the effort!

Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum

Reviewed By EdmundR_11 - St. Andrews, United Kingdom

Note that Ferenc is the Hungarian version of the German Franz, and the English Francis, so this museum is for the composer better known as Franz Liszt. The Museum is one level up and you leave your bags (no charge) at the level where you enter. Opposite the place where you leave the bags is the Liszt Research Society and here there are other items relating to Liszt displayed. We chose to visit the Museum first and then look at this second display of our way out. (One thing to note is that the Ladies toilet is entered from the Liszt Research Society display area.) There is a lady selling tickets for entry to the Museum. The Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum has only three rooms but there is a remarkable amount of interesting objects packed into these rooms. There are good information boards (in English), letters from and to Liszt, pictures of composers contemporary with Liszt, items which belonged to Liszt etc. For example on display is his bed, his travel bag, his religious items, a cross he took with him when travelling, several pianos, an organ, a desk with a keyboard, an ornate music stand he was presented with, etc etc. Where one buys the entry tickets, there is for sale sheet music of Liszt, CDs of Liszt's music etc. We bought two CDs.
