There is plenty to do around the
Opera House, the heart of the VI District, or the cultural and theatrical centre of
Budapest. Located along the
Andrássy Avenue, its grandeur perfectly matches that of the surrounding building and yet still stands out!
Because the Opera House is located along Budapest's main boulevard, our first pick is the one and only
Andrássy Avenue! In second and third place are two great theatres of the city's theatrical district; the
Operetta Theatre and the
Puppet Theatre, representing two different types of theatrical art. The
House of Terror, also along the Andrássy is a somewhat shocking museum of Secret Police activity in Budapest.
Our next two picks are located on Liszt Ferenc Square just off the boulevard: the
Statue of the great Hungarian musician Liszt Ferenc and the
Academy of Music founded by the great musician himself. These two attractions are surrounded by lovely little cafés and restaurants making it a great place to stop by before lunch.
The last four attractions are all located in the circumference of the all too well advertised
Hero's Square: the
Art Gallery and
Museum of Fine Arts on either end of the square, and the
Széchényi Spa, the largest in Central Europe located just behind in the City Park.
