We strongly recommend that you see the interior of the Opera House designed by Miklós Ybl and completed in 1884. Inside decorations are superb and lavish, they strike. The ceiling in the main auditorium where hangs a three ton bronze chandelier was frescoed by Károly Lotz.

If you want to see just the building, and not an opera, you can take a tour. Tours are conducted in English, German, French, Hungarian and some other European languages and take about an hour, beginning at 15:00 and 16:00.

On display in this museum are all Hungarian first edition stamps, the smallest and biggest stamps of the world, and a collection of forgeries.
