About
Founded in 1875, the Liszt Academy is the only institution bearing the name of Ferenc Liszt in which the great composer himself had an active role in establishing. The university, which has been functioning for more than 140 years, is the bastion of music teaching and musicology in Hungary. The Grand Hall boasting unparalleled acoustics is a legendary concert venue in the Art Nouveau conservatory (1907) on Liszt Ferenc Square. Since its reconstruction in 2013, the institution has handled independent professional concert organizing activities and earned itself a reputation globally both as a university and a concert centre. In 2016, the Liszt Academy won the European Heritage Label for its outstanding role on the European music scene, for its preservation of European traditions, its creativity and openness worthy of the spirit of Ferenc Liszt, and for its dynamism springing from the duality of university and concert centre activities.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took an afternoon tour. The guide was clearly passionate about the subject, and the concert hall is undeniably beautiful.

What a gorgeous place! We tried several times to go inside the Academy to have a look around, but it was often closed. We got very lucky one night and got to go see a free concert; a very talented pianist. We were blown away by his playing and of course the opulent Art Noveau surroundings did not hurt. Be sure to check this out!

My sister and I visited the Academy with Uniworld and our tour was treated to a private piano recital with a fabulous artiste. Afterward, a thorough tour of the architecture, mosaics, two performance halls, and beautiful artwork. A masterpiece of architecture, and if you are able to get tickets to a show, I would strongly recommend it.

We got tickets for Saturday group guided tour in English followed by a concert of one of the Academy students. The tour was very informative. I didn’t expect at all to see such a grand concert hall inside. It’s #5 in the world with the best acoustic! All decorations are simply exquisite. I wish we would stay longer in Budapest as I would love to see classical concert in this wonderful hall

They only give tours at certain times of the day, but this was a very beautiful and interesting building to visit and learn about Franz Liszt. It is located on a nice street with shops and cafe's nearby. If we had more time, we definitely would have loved to tour the academy.

Classical music performed to the perfection demanded by the local audience of connaisseurs. Liszt, Bartok, and Kodaly are frequently on the programme. Your ears will be charmed by the melodies while your eyes will enjoy the decor. A most enjoyable evening to be complimented by drinking a glass of Hungarian champagne while admiring the Art Nouveau mosaics in the foyer during the intervals.

I visited the concert hall of the Liszt Academy for a Christmas concert (traditional Hungarian Christmas music). The building is really beautiful. If you like Art Nouveau you should really visit it.

Добрый день. Для заказа билета в Академию Листа на 09.11.17 мне нужен план зала, а я его нигде не нахожу.
При заказе выходит только № категории мест, а плана зала нет. Как быть?

The performance we wish to attend is sold out. What are the chances that last -minute tickets become available or that there are people selling tickets on the street before a performance?

I cannot help either - I was in Budapest during the summer Holidays and was Lucky enough to catch the excellent guided afternoon tour. - But your best chance would be to try for tickets ordered, but not collected, just before the concert. You might even have luck in that someone turns up with ticket(s) which cannot be used because of illness etc. and are Thus given away -

I'd like permission to use your photo of the lobby of the Liszt Academy that is on this website in an educational DVD.
Can you advise me as to whom I should write for this permission.
Thank you.

Hi, my husband and I will be visiting Budapest for the first time 19th to 23rd May. Love the idea of going to a concert in the FL Academy! Would it be OK to just pop in? or would we be safer to book tickets in advance? If better to book in advance, how do I go about it?
Also, the baths? Are they open to the public? Can you decide to get in if you are simply passing by or is it set times only?.......not for me - he'd love it! Thank you.

We bought our tickets for the FL Academy at the Academy's box office the night of the performance we saw (just an hour ahead of time), and the prices were incredibly reasonable.
