    Visiting by chance. Very good tour with an excellent guide. Amazing history with very well preserved rooms with creepy wax models. Would recommend and would visit again

    A large museum with a good collection of Hungarian art from different periods. I'm a fan of medieval and renaissance era art, which, in my opinion, the museum had too little of, the focus being more on the art made from the 19th century onwards.

    The dome has nice views over the city, would highly recommend going up there.

    Really loved this gorgeous gallery, with its 3 floors, courtyard and garden full of sculpture and paintings. What a lovely lovely place, run by friendly ladies. Would have loved to buy some of the art.

    The museum is a great way to learn about the history of Budapest and isn’t that badly priced! There’s a lot to see and a lot to take in so it’s defiantly worth a look but I’d be surprised if anyone could see it all in a day!

    It is not very large so doable and you will see and learn. I was amazed that some swords were out to see/touch.

    Read some reviews slating this place.

    It is a very large dark and moody labyrinth with a few nice touches!!! Easy to get very lost which is fun!!! The Dracula part is all smoked up and very fun!!

    Could do more with this attraction, so much potential, but defo fun especially for history and mystery lovers!!

    This is a cool little music museum! Admittedly, in planning our Budapest vacation, I selected it to fill some time while we were up on Buda Castle Hill and I figured it would be fine but nothing special. I was very pleasantly surprised! Its a quaint little museum good for 30-45 minutes depending on how thoroughly you want to read the well done explanations of each piece (which are in both Hungarian and English). I really liked the pieces that were on display, which include a beautiful harp, quite a few very unique pianos, several violins/violas/cellos, a couple neat old acoustic guitars, and much more. This place only takes cash but its very inexpensive and a nice change of pace. I would highly recommend that you stop in and give it your full attention.

    This is an interesting historical medical museum on the Buda side of the Danube with a huge collection of artefacts.
    The only downside most of the in depth explanations are only in Hungarian

    Was a bit tough to find the correct door to actually get in but once you do…id recommend you have cash to pay the admission . when i was there the computer was down. my ticket was a post it note and thankfully i had enough cash .

    Once you get through all that you open the door to a spectacular room. The main reading room is huge. The detail and workmanship that went into this is obvious.

    If you are a fan of interesting buildings, architecture, old books and really big ladders you should stop by.

    Tripadvisor said it opens at 9am…. I got there at 945 and it didn't open till 10am so check

    National Archives of Hungary contains records from 1000 years of Hungarian history. The Archives was established in 1756 in Pozsony (then the capital of Hungary), moved to Buda in 1784 and relocated to its present (main) building in 1923. The massive neo-Gothic building has rounded window arches, embellished gables and beautiful colored roof tiles. The main entrance is a neo-Gothic porch, with receding arches supported by slender columns. The interior has neo-Gothic elements such as pointer groin vaults, colored tile work and frescoes of medieval knights and saints. Unfortunately, the Archives were severely damaged during WW II (1944-45) and the 1956 uprising, but the building was restored. The Archives are open 8.30am – 5.45pm (Tues-Thurs) and close early at 2pm on Mon. and Fri. There is no entry fee.

    On our first trip to Hungary I wanted to understand as much as possible about the culture and history of this beautiful country. This is a museum that caters to children and each section is based on a given word or key idea related to Hungarian heritage. The museum is very affordable, was well organized, and is interactive. The weaponry exhibit was a favorite for our kids.
