A lovely concert hall.

This is a lovely concert hall, located in the tranquil and beautiful Vigado square. The hall has undergone some extensive renovations in recent years and is now looking better than ever. Make sure to book tickets in advance.

We were attracted by the appearance of the building and had no idea how beautiful it is inside until we entered. It is like a palace, although it has never served as a residence. In the lobby is the beautiful Bogányi piano (Google it!), and...More
