Opera House Guided Tour

This English-language tour spends about an hour inside the Opera House, led by a guide who covers architect Miklós Ybl, the building's history and its recent restoration. You pass the staircase, frescoes and auditorium, so the focus is as much on craftsmanship as on the performance tradition.

A short musical presentation closes the visit, which reviewers singled out as a highlight, with some wishing to return for a full opera. Guides are described as passionate, and the departures at 13:30, 15:00 and 16:30 fit comfortably into an afternoon of sightseeing.
