[Hungary] The Hungarian State Opera House, where the history of the Habsburg Empire remains

Access: 5 minutes walk from the Metro "Opera Station" Recommended points: 1-hour guided tour including a mini-concert Price: 9,000 HUF (just under 4,000 yen) *Non-Hungarian The Hungarian State Opera, along with the Vienna State Opera, is an opera house with a history of nearly 140 years as the two major royal opera houses of the Habsburg Empire. Both the exterior and interior are very gorgeous and beautiful. There is a noble story that Franz Joseph I was in attendance when it opened in 1884, and his wife Elisabeth often came to watch performances. The guided tour of the entire theater, including the special box seat "Sissi Loge" where Elisabeth, affectionately known as Sissi, always sat when she visited, the guest room where guests were invited, and the hall where theatergoers gathered, is recommended as it allows you to feel the history. Whether you have a performance ticket or not, it is worth visiting just for the tour! #Budapest #Hungary #Eastern Europe
