    There's got to be a new category, I don't know, call it "Landmarks" or similar, because one simply can't rate 5 stars a sandwich shop and also the most lavish concert hall in the world!

    You must certainly visit this building when you come to Budpaest. It is astonishing, and the architecture is beautiful! Taking the guided tour is a must, since you need to hear about the background and inspirations behind the design elements. I have actually gone twice, since it was very mesmerizing the first time. You don’t even need to be into opera, or architecture, to enjoy this tour. This building is a gem, and everyone can appreciate the beauties of its design.

    The interior is nice, the concerts are great, but there are some pain points. It would be nice to have more/bigger restrooms, you usually need to wait some time for it (old building, so probably there is no more space for that, I admit). The cloakroom is not included in the price of the concert ticket, you need to pay for that separately. Based on the hand written receipt it seems unlikely that you could pay with card (did not ask about it, so not sure). It would be better to have this service included in the price of the ticket. The most negative point however is the cafe. It has a very limited capacity, so the guests should definitely prepare for the situation that they would not be able to order before the concert continues. That can be accepted, but the negligence regarding the service is very painful. There should be a row marked out to the counter, like at airports (kind of ribbon barrier) to make the crowd form a basic queue, there is enough space for that. Currently the cafe operates as a simple night club where people are just fighting each other to reach the counter to order something. If the place thinks that the visitors are smart and polite and they wait in a theoretical line patiently, they are wrong. By an organized queue guests could easily estimate that they would not be able to order before the end of the break. This lack of queue is the main reason for the average rating.

    Get ready for a lot of details about the building and the symbolism from the guide if you visit the building on a guided tour. The main hall is stunning. The tour also includes a 10m miniconcert. Visiting an event that takes place in the mainhall is also an option to marvel of its beauty if you don't care about Apollo and his angels

    If you are a tourist, buying a ticket for one of the concert presented at this location would definitely scaling up your experience in Hungary. The interior of the establishment gives you a very subtle feeling of elegancy. You have a chance to dress up if you decide to visit this place. The staff are always helpful and respectful, the quality of the concerts are unquestionnable. I recommend to book a ticket in the afternoon in the summer so you can still explore the area next to the Zeneakademia which is lively and filled with many restaurants.

    Went there to see one concert of the "Mozart Day" festival. (In Hungarian it's called "Mozart Nap," which just made me chuckle.) It's worth it to go see the building, but the best way to experience this place is to see a performance. Wonderful acoustics, and ultimately a feast for the eyes and the ears.

    Very beautiful place. The acoustic in the concert hall is great, seats are comfy. You can buy tickets online as well as in the ticket office on the place. To give your clothes to the wardrobe you have to have cash. It costs HUF 300. If you’re not familiar with the place you can use virtual tour on their website. I’m happy with the concert I attended.

    Although the seats are not comfortable the building and the performances are making it up for the visitors in my opinion.

    Second best concert hall in Budapest after MÜPA. This is a beautiful old building in a nice neighbourhood with lots of bars and restaurants. Come by public transport or on foot, for parking can be a hellish experience in the area.

    A beatiful concert hall in an impressive old building in the heart of Budapst. The wall tiles are made by famos Zsolnay. You can visit it as there are guided tours. Or you can buy a ticket to a concert and spending a lovely evening in one of the most beautiful concert halls in Europe.

    Fond of classical music? A concert at Zeneakadémia (Liszt Academy) is a must! Impressive building, recently (2013) refurbished in its original secession-stlye state. We visited the Academy at the Mozart-day in 2019. Even if you do not have time for a concert, it is worth to visit the building. They held guided tours in Friday and Sunday (as of March 2019), followed by a little concert.

    Perfect sound, perfect interior.

    Beautiful interior that's been recently renovated. Did the 1:30pm English language tour. Had an impromptu recital from one of the students and then saw the main concert hall. The content felt a bit light for the ticket price, but they did a great job with the restoration.

    Amazing, gorgeous building. I'm coming back to Budapest just so I can attend a concert here.

  • 5/5 László B. 4 years ago on Google
    The building has an unique, art nouveau design with lavishly decorated interiors. There are guided tours in English language too.
