    The museum is very interesting and there are a big bunch of exhibited objects you wont see anywhere else. Nevertheless it missed the nowadays usual interactive part of a museum. All in all a low budget museum with really interesting stuff.

    The museum is great, follows the establishing and development of the Hungarian Post Office. The staff is really kind and helpful. They answer a lot of questions. We were there on the Night of the Museums and we could listen to a very interesting lecture on the radio and post relationship. It was most interesting. I really recommend this museum.

    Very nice museum. Unfortunatelly we are not speaking hungarian at all and the staff wasn't very into speaking english. They gave us printed guide in english, but it wasn't stated anywhere that we can touch and play with some exhibits (I just found out reading other reviews) and the staff hasn't told us that either. It could have been way more fun if we knew...

    Entrance 500 HUF. Very detailed exhibition, illustrating postal innovations, such as the pillar boxes, padlock, pneumatic post, telephone exchange and telegram. Videos shown are informative. Laminated info sheets in English will help you understand the exhibits, ask staff for it. Recommended.

    (Translated by Google) You already know the postcards. There is also an interactive job. Thrillers give a lump. Unfortunately, we pounded the Pocket Pants. (Original) Jo kiallitas a posta torteneterol. Interaktiv foglalkozas is van. Teremorok tajekoztatast adnak. Sajnos hianyoltuk a postagalambokat.

    Worth a visit if you want to learn about the postal system in Hungary since it's beginning.The displays are in perfect condition and nice to see the well restored old vehicles. The STAMP museum is in a different location.

  • 4/5 Hwahyun K. 6 months ago on Google
    It was the first and only place I entered without charge in Budapest. Mayve they are offeeing free entries on Saturdays. Staff were very friendly and tried to help me. It was a small exhibition but worth to stop by if you have time. It would've been great if they were more English descriptions. There were some, but not all.

  • 5/5 Natio L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very good small museum with lots of stamps from all around the world! It will take hours to browse through all of them. Which is not required because guides will give you a brief with references to most special ones, and you can skip the rest

  • 5/5 Aleksey S. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting museum

  • 5/5 László B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting little museum. Who can do it once visit here. (Original) Érdekes kis múzeum. Aki teheti egyszer látogasson el ide.

  • 5/5 Iván K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) New location at the Post Museum on Benczúr Street. Nicely furnished, well-organized exhibition. It is a pity that the space is smaller than in the old Andrassy Avenue building. (Original) Új helyen a Posta múzeum a Benczúr utcában. Szépen berendezett, jól szervezett kiállítás. Kár, hogy kisebb a tér mint a régi Andrássy úti épületben.

  • 4/5 Illés J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Hidden museum with unreasonably few visitors. (Original) Eldugott múzeum indokolatlanul kevés látogatóval.

  • 5/5 Mateusz J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As a mail lover, I had to get there. And it was worth it. Great place, a little intimate but it only adds charm. The opportunity to touch the exhibits and learn about the interesting history of the Hungarian Royal Post is something that will interest many, large and small. The place itself is a bit out of the way, but it's worth looking for. Very nice service. If I am in Budapest again, I will definitely come back here. (Original) Jako miłośnik poczt musiałem tam trafić. I było warto. Wspaniałe miejsce, trochę kameralne ale to tylko dodaje uroku. Możliwość dotykania eksponatów i poznania ciekawej historii Węgierskiej Poczty Królewskiej to coś co zainteresuje wielu, dużych i małych. Samo miejsce trochę na uboczu, ale warto poszukać. Bardzo miła obsługa. Jeżeli będę znowu w Budapeszcie, na pewno tu wrócę.

  • 4/5 Sándor B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The canteen here is very cozy. Pleasant calm environment. Not many people know him. The food selection is too large - two soups, three main courses, dessert - but price, value for money and tastes good. (Original) Az itt lévő menza nagyon hangulatos. Kellemes nyugodt környezet. Nem sokan ismerik. Az étel választék túl nagy - két leves, három főétel, desszert - de ár, értek arányos és ennek megfelelően jóízű.

  • 5/5 Péter T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's a very interesting museum. there is a lot of memories of the history of the post, and here is a statue of Hermes who, in Greek mythology, was a messenger of gods, perhaps he could be considered the first postman. but it is very regrettable that because of a flawed political decision the Telefónia Museum in the castle can not be visited, I may be somewhat biased because my family had three posters. (Original) Nagyon érdekes múzeum. sok emléket mutat be a posta történetéből, látható itt egy Hermész szobor is aki a görög mitológiában az istenek hírnöke volt talán Őt tekinthetjük az első postásnak. viszont nagyon sajnálatos, hogy egy hibás politikai döntés következtében a várbeli Telefónia Múzeum nem látogatható talán kissé elfogult vagyok, mivel a családomban három postás is volt.
