  • This museum is a vibe! From the grandeur of the exterior to the attention to detail on the inside, everything about it is impressive. The line for tickets was not long, but it might be a good idea to buy them in advance, we arrived a few minutes after opening and it got crowded fast (understandable since it is one of the most popular museums in Budapest) It is a must see!
  • Fascinating. Excellent collection of Hungarian Art. Best six hours spent in Budapest. Worth every penny! Didn't get a student discount (unfortunately). Would recommend it for art lovers. If you can spend hours looking at a painting, go right ahead. I wish someone had told us to have a big, hearty breakfast before going though. Hehe.
