Budapest’s contemporary Palace of Arts overlooks the Danube from its vantage point near Rákóczi Bridge in south Pest. Set alongside the National Theatre, it comprises three main venues: the Bartók National Concert Hall, with its superb acoustics for some of the world’s greatest classical musicians; the Festival Hall for theatre and dance productions, and the Ludwig Museum, a major gallery for contemporary art. All is a handy stop on the number 2 tram along the Danube from the city centre.
