Recommendations about Free programs and places to visit in Budapest

Let us recommend you a few events and places where you can go for free before or after participating in some of our free walking tours in Budapest 🙂

• Free concerts at the Budapest Jazz Club on the Pest side of the river Danube: besides the beloved free jam sessions on the weekends, there are some free events on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as well at this location. Besides well known artists, the youngsters of the Franz Liszt Music Academy perform, too. It is worth to have a look at their program to be able to enjoy free music next to your meal or drink at the Budapest Jazz Club. Address is: Budapest, Hollán Ernő street 7.
• Free ice skating rink in Kőbánya (10th district of Budapest on the Pest side): a tiny bit out of the city center, but definitely a local experience! It is open until the 29th of January 2023 between 9am and 8pm. You can easily take bus number 9 from the very city center and you can be at this 650 square meter big open air ice skating rink next to the Szent László Church. Do not worry if you do not have your ice skates with you, it is possible to rent some at the location.
• Free events in Pótkulcs pub: it is quite a special place on the Pest side of the capital city, you will not even find a sign outside this bar, but you can look for the address of it in Google maps (A little help: Csengery street 65/b). They have free eclectic music events and folk music and dancing programs usually on Tuesdays. Check out their Facebook page (linked above).
• Free admission to museums on given days of the month in Budapest for people under the age of 26 OR for children under 18 with their 2 adult parents/caretakers: there is one day/every month when the mentioned people can visit these museums for free, let’s see a couple of examples: first Sunday of each month: Natural History Museum and House of Terror (mainly about the communist dictatorship after WW2 in Hungary) ; 3rd Saturday of each month: Hungarian National Museum, Museum of Fine arts, Hungarian National Gallery, Hungarian Folk Museum ; last Saturday of each month: Budapest History Museum (in the Buda Castle District), Aquincum Museum (on the Buda side about the Roman times and ruins in Hungary), Hungarian Technical and Transport Museum.
