2 Best Sights in Budapest, Hungary

Opened in 2022, Budapest's stunning new museum in the City Park was designed by the well-known Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. The expertly curated permanent exhibition is dedicated to the history of music, charting its evolution from archaic folk beginnings to the current day. There are detours through Hungary's greats, including Ferenc Liszt, Béla Bartók, and Zoltán Kodály. With the help of wireless headphones, visitors can listen to high-quality musical samples and set their own pace. For those interested in music, this museum is not to be missed.

Part museum space, part gaming center, the carefully curated and maintained Flipper Múzeum was started by avid pinball enthusiasts to inspire pinball enthusiasm in kids of all ages. Admission allows you to play almost all of the 130 machines featured here for free and for as long as you like (some machines are ornamental as they are not working anymore). Look for Terminator, Star Wars, and Mario Brothers pinball games or simple amusement park shooter games dating back to the late 19th century. Officially registered as a museum, it adopts an arcade vibe in the evening as players flip away until midnight most nights.
