This is the city Liszt built, and it still runs on live music: organ recitals under the Basilica dome, chamber concerts in gilded halls, a full orchestra at the Opera House. Below are the best concerts and shows, with prices, venues, and what each evening includes.

Budapest candlelit Danube cruise with live music, 4-course dinner and welcome drink. 2.5 hours of night views and great service.
“This was very different to the other river trips on the Danube. You can see the other boats rammed with drunken partygoers travelling up and down the river but this experience is quite the opposite. Great food, the drinks are reasonably priced and the views spectacular. The live music is chilled and in keeping with the environment and the boat has plenty of space, is clean and well fitted.”
Budapest River Diva dinner cruise with live music and unlimited drinks. Danube night landmarks, chef dinner, and rooftop photo deck.
“UNBELIEVABLE experience. Worth the money and some. Great food, great drinks, great live entertainment, great time. Some were moaning about the wait on cocktails but there was plenty of wine/ prosecco readily available to fill the wait. We were lucky to have a window table but you can always go up to the top deck for plenty of photo opportunities. 1000/10. Highlight of our trip!”
