Hungarian State Opera House Official Guided Tour

Explore the opulent interior of the Opera House

Step inside the Hungarian State Opera House with your guide for a 60-minute tour of its key spaces. Admire the beauty of the Opera House up close, from its grand staircase and gilded decorations to its lavish ceiling and auditorium, details you wouldn't know just from the exterior. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the building's history, architecture, artistic traditions, and its significance in Budapest's musical culture.


Discover special areas depending on performances and rehearsals

The tour route may vary depending on the Opera House's performance and rehearsal schedule for the day. If rehearsals are taking place in the auditorium, the tour will explore other areas that are usually not accessible, instead of the auditorium.

Guided tours are not operated during actual performances. This allows you to explore the space while experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of the Opera House, which is still actively hosting performances.


Conclude your tour with a live mini-concert

Your tour culminates with a short live concert by a soloist from the Hungarian State Opera. Instead of just looking around the theater, you'll get to experience its atmosphere while listening to actual music.

Guided tours are conducted in the language selected at the time of booking, with tours available in multiple languages including English. The mini-concert can be enjoyed regardless of the selected tour language.
