The Papp László Budapest Sportaréna is Budapest’s premier indoor venue, hosting big-name concerts, sports events, family shows, exhibitions and large-scale productions. Located beside the Puskás Ferenc Stadion, the arena opened in 2003 on the site of the former Budapest Sportcsarnonk, destroyed by fire in 1999. It carries the name of László Papp, the three-time Olympic champion Hungarian boxer. In its maximum configuration, it can accommodate some 12,500 spectators, making it large enough to host performances by international stars. Another major advantage is its easy accessibility from the city centre, by metro line M2 or tram 1 to Puskás Ferenc Stadion.
