Facade of Ferenc Liszt Music Academy, Erzsebetvaros.

Liszt Music Academy

Top choice


Performances at Budapest’s most important concert hall are usually booked up at least a week in advance, but more expensive (though still affordable) last-minute ones can sometimes be available. It's always worth checking.
