Quite a few tourists think about watching a movie one evening instead of discovering as much as possible while wandering around. But it’s a wrong way of thinking – you miss a lot if you simply walk past the Urania.
It’s 113-years-old building was restored in its original Venetian Gothic and Eastern Moor style in 2002. If the Hungarian State Opera House is the queen of theaters – then the Urania National Movie Theater is the queen of cinemas.
Take any of buses 7,7A,78 to ‘Vas utca’ or ‘Kazinczy utca’, buses stop in front of the cinema. Walk in, choose a film (there are Hungarian, German and English-speaking art movies on screen), buy your ticket (tickets 390-600 HUF to Csortos and Fabri Halls, 790 HUF to Main Hall), leave your jacket at the free cloakroom (unusual in Hungarian movie theaters!), enjoy a coffee in Urania Cafe upstairs – but watch your clock! Don’t miss your film!
