<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The National Gallery in Budapest is hosting a temporary exhibition titled <em>Dolce Vita. Impressions of Italy in Two Centuries of Hungarian Art</em>. Part of the Bartók Spring International Art Weeks, this collection showcases around 150 works by 75 artists, including paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, objects, and archaeological artefacts. The display spans from the nineteenth century to contemporary art, illustrating how Italy has remained an eternal theme and a popular destination for Hungarian travellers and creators alike.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For centuries, individuals have made pilgrimages to Italy, drawn by its sunlight, coastal aromas, wine, and coffee, alongside historic relics of antiquity and exemplary Renaissance and Baroque architecture. This collective Italian experience has served as a constant source of inspiration. For historical figures like János Vaszary, Italy represented a landscape of color, light, movement, and life. While nineteenth-century artists like Antal Ligeti and Károly Markó the Elder studied the Old Masters and captured mythical landscapes, twentieth-century artists like Vilmos Aba-Novák, Aurél Bernáth, and Emese Benczúr shifted toward loose, gestural depictions of everyday life, seaside beaches, and contemporary pop-cultural topoi.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exhibition Details and Planning</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Location:</strong> Ground floor, temporary exhibition space, National Gallery, Budapest</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest is hosting a major retrospective exhibition titled <em>Vasarely 120</em> to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the birth of Victor Vasarely. Recognized globally as one of the most defining figures of kinetic art and geometric abstraction, the Hungarian-born artist who found fame in Paris is honored with an unprecedentedly comprehensive showcase. The exhibition brings together more than 140 works—including well-known masterpieces as well as rarely seen creations—with the domestic collection enriched by loans from the Fondation Vasarely in Aix-en-Provence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curated by art historians Veronika Pócs and Mónika Zombori, the exhibition traces Vasarely&#8217;s vast career path. It highlights his early days studying the Bauhaus movement in Budapest, his transition to designing commercial advertising posters in Paris during the 1930s, and his ultimate role in fueling a post-WWII visual revolution. Vasarely’s unique philosophy treated art not as an elite commodity, but as a systematic visual language designed to be accessible to everyone, seamlessly integrating into architecture, public design, and everyday urban environments through shifting grids and optical illusions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest is always worth visiting, but if you need an additional excuse to visit Budapest in June 2026, Sting just gave you one. On the 18th of June 2026, Sting will perform in the magnificent MVM Dome.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sting is visiting lots of cities in 2026, but, interestingly, he isn&#8217;t going to big cities in Western Europe such as Paris, <a href="https://www.guidebarcelona.net/">Barcelona</a>, Lisbon, London, Munich, Amsterdam, or Brussels. Instead, he will visit lots of smaller cities in England and Germany, and then a bunch of cities in Eastern Europe such as Pilzen, Budapest, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Gdansk, Lodz, Tartu, and several others. If you want to be there as he comes to Budapest, this is a great chance to combine a fantastic weekend trip to Budapest with an even more awesome concert.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Did you know that the real name of Sting is Gordon Sumner? And did you know why people started to call him Sting?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sting had a habit of wearing a black and yellow striped sweater during his time as a teacher. His bandmates in the jazz-rock group Last Exit thought he looked like a bee, and one day, the bandleader decided to call him &#8220;Sting.&#8221; The name remained with him, and thus, Gordon Sumner became famous with the artist name Sting. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sting Budapest 2026</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Date</strong>: June 18<br><strong>Location</strong>: MVM Dome, Budapest</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You really need a ticket, but no tickets left? You can still check for second hand tickets at <a href="https://prf.hn/l/LAlMaAk" rel="nofollow">Viagogo</a>, the biggest secondary ticket marketplace online. There you can also find tickets for other Sting concerts elsewhere in Europe, and if you want to experience even more concerts in Budapest, then you can also buy tickets for other concerts coming up in <a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/">Budapest</a> later in the summer of 2026.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest is one of Europe’s most exciting cities to visit, especially during summer. Long evenings along the Danube, lively cafés, rooftop bars, and world-class concerts create the perfect atmosphere for unforgettable experiences. If you happen to be in the Hungarian capital on <strong>June 25, 2026</strong>, you are in for a special treat: <strong>OneRepublic will perform live in Budapest</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The globally famous pop-rock band, fronted by Ryan Tedder, is known for emotional songs, massive sing-along moments, and energetic live performances. From the opening chords to the final encore, OneRepublic concerts are the kind of events where thousands of people sing together like one giant choir. Yes, even the people who claim they <em>“only know one song.”</em> (Spoiler: they usually know five.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you plan to stay a few days in the city, it is highly recommended to explore some of the most famous landmarks as well. You can find inspiration on the page about <strong><a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/budapest/">Budapest attractions</a></strong>, or browse upcoming festivals, concerts, and shows on the <strong><a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/whats/">what&#8217;s happening in Budapest</a></strong> page.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">OneRepublic concert in Budapest</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The concert will be arranged in the <strong>Papp László Budapest Sportaréna</strong>, the largest indoor concert venue in Hungary and one of the most important music venues in Central Europe. Major international stars regularly perform here, thanks to its excellent acoustics, modern facilities, and fantastic atmosphere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The arena is located near the city center and is very easy to reach using public transportation. The <strong>Puskás Ferenc Stadion metro station</strong> (M2 line) is only a short walk away, meaning you can reach the venue quickly from most parts of the city.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Concert details</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Artist:</strong> OneRepublic</li>



<li><strong>Date:</strong> June 25, 2026</li>



<li><strong>Time:</strong> 20:00</li>



<li><strong>Venue:</strong> Papp László Budapest Sportaréna</li>



<li><strong>Capacity:</strong> Approximately 12,500 spectators</li>



<li><strong>Address:</strong> Stefánia út 2, 1143 Budapest, Hungary</li>



<li><strong>Tickets:</strong> Available on <strong><a href="https://prf.hn/l/W4pklvX/">Viagogo</a></strong></li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Viagogo can be useful for tickets</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Viagogo is a global ticket marketplace where fans can buy and sell tickets for concerts and events around the world. Sometimes tickets here can be <strong>slightly more expensive than the original ticket price</strong>, especially if the event is sold out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the big advantage is availability. If official tickets are gone and you <em>really</em> want to be there, Viagogo often provides a second chance to secure seats. For travelers planning a concert trip to Budapest, that flexibility can be extremely helpful.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hotels near the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest offers accommodation for every type of traveler, from luxury hotels to budget-friendly apartments. If you want to make the evening as convenient as possible, staying near the arena can be a great idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Below you will find a hotel map showing accommodation options close to the venue. You can zoom in and out to explore prices and locations, helping you find the perfect place to stay.</p>

  }
});

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Staying near the arena also makes it easy to return to your hotel after the concert, which is always nice when your voice is gone from singing along to <em>Counting Stars</em>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The legendary British band <strong>Duran Duran</strong> is returning to Central Europe in the summer of 2026, and Budapest will be one of the lucky cities on the tour schedule. Just a few days after their concert in Prague (see what else is happening in Prague on the <strong><a href="https://www.praguepraha.com/whats/">events calendar in Prague</a></strong>), the band will travel south to Hungary’s beautiful capital for a fantastic evening filled with iconic songs and unforgettable energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Expect a warm <strong>late-June summer evening</strong>, plenty of excited fans, and a city that feels alive. Budapest in June is vibrant, sunny, and full of life. And if the temperature rises a bit too much during the day, the <strong>cool breeze along the Danube River</strong> tends to fix that problem quickly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So why not combine the concert with a few days in one of Europe’s most charming capitals?</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Concert details – Duran Duran Budapest 2026</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Venue:</strong> Papp László Budapest Sportaréna<br><strong>City:</strong> Budapest, Hungary<br><strong>Date:</strong> June 28, 2026<br><strong>Time:</strong> 19:00</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the official tickets are sold out or hard to find, you can check availability through <strong><a href="https://prf.hn/l/4PRJjxk/">Viagogo ticket marketplace</a></strong> where fans often resell their tickets.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The venue: Papp László Budapest Sportaréna</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>Papp László Budapest Sportaréna</strong> is the largest indoor concert venue in Hungary and one of the best arenas in Central Europe. It regularly hosts major international artists and large-scale events, and the acoustics and production quality are excellent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Located on the <strong>Pest side of the city</strong>, the arena is easy to reach by metro, tram, or taxi. That means you can stay comfortably in the <strong>downtown districts</strong> and still get to the concert quickly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest frequently hosts world-class events, so if you are planning a visit, it is worth checking the <strong><a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/whats/">Budapest events calendar</a></strong> for festivals, concerts, and cultural happenings during your stay.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Find a hotel in Budapest</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest has everything from stylish boutique hotels to affordable apartments in the city center. Staying downtown is a great idea because you will be within walking distance of restaurants, river views, and nightlife.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use the map below to explore hotel options across the city.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to do in Budapest before the concert</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you arrive a day or two before the show (which you absolutely should), Budapest offers plenty of things to explore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A great place to start is the guide to <strong><a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/budapest/">Budapest attractions</a></strong> where you’ll find inspiration for museums, viewpoints, historic buildings, and local favorites.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But let’s highlight a few <strong>perfect summer activities</strong>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take a Danube river cruise</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest is often called <strong>“The Pearl of the Danube.”</strong> The best way to understand why is by taking a <strong>river cruise</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the water you’ll see spectacular landmarks like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the Hungarian Parliament</li>



<li>Buda Castle</li>



<li>the Chain Bridge</li>



<li>the Gellért Hill panorama</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During a warm June evening, the river breeze feels amazing, and sunset cruises are especially magical. Many visitors actually say the river view is the most memorable part of their trip.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Visit City Park and the Budapest Zoo</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another excellent summer program is heading to <strong>City Park (Városliget)</strong>. This large green park sits just behind Heroes’ Square and is a fantastic place to relax when the weather gets warm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here you’ll find:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the famous <strong>Budapest Zoo</strong></li>



<li>shady walking paths</li>



<li>lakes and gardens</li>



<li>Vajdahunyad Castle</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The zoo is one of the oldest in Europe and perfect if you want a few hours surrounded by animals, trees, and fresh air. In June, the shade in the park makes it a refreshing escape from the busy downtown streets.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cool down in Széchenyi Thermal Bath</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest is famous for its thermal baths, and the most iconic one is <strong>Széchenyi Thermal Bath</strong>, located right inside City Park.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a unique experience to sit in warm mineral water surrounded by beautiful yellow neo-baroque buildings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tip:</strong><br>Visit <strong>early in the morning or late in the evening</strong>, when temperatures are lower and crowds are smaller. During a hot summer day, the pools can feel very warm.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Eat goulash and explore downtown Budapest</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No trip to Budapest is complete without tasting <strong>Hungarian goulash soup</strong>. It’s hearty, flavorful, and one of the country’s most famous dishes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Downtown districts such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>District V (Belváros)</li>



<li>District VI (Terézváros)</li>



<li>District VII (Jewish Quarter)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">are filled with traditional restaurants, cafés, and lively ruin bars. Spend the afternoon exploring historic streets, enjoy a good meal, and then head to the arena ready for a fantastic concert night.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get ready for a night with Duran Duran</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With classic hits like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Hungry Like the Wolf</em></li>



<li><em>Ordinary World</em></li>



<li><em>Rio</em></li>



<li><em>Come Undone</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Duran Duran has been filling dance floors and concert arenas for more than four decades. Their shows combine nostalgia, fantastic musicianship, and the kind of energy that makes thousands of fans sing along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest in June, warm summer evenings, a legendary band, and a city full of food, thermal baths, and river views… that sounds like a pretty perfect travel plan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So book a downtown hotel, grab a bowl of goulash, take a Danube cruise, and get ready for a <strong>memorable night with Duran Duran in Budapest</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The energy is rising, the &#8220;Dale!&#8221; shouts are echoing, and the party of the decade is finally coming to the &#8220;Pearl of the Danube.&#8221; Armando Christian Pérez, better known globally as Pitbull, is bringing his high-octane performance style and a massive catalog of hits to the Hungarian capital. Whether you are a lifelong fan or just looking for the ultimate night out, the Pitbull concert in Budapest promises to be an unforgettable explosion of reggaeton, Latin pop, and dance-floor anthems.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pitbull Concert in Budapest in 2026</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The city is buzzing with excitement as the official date approaches. Pitbull is set to take the stage at the <strong>Puskás Aréna on July 21, 2026</strong>. This stadium is the largest and most modern multi-functional venue in Central Europe, designed to meet 21st-century demands while hosting some of the world&#8217;s biggest musical acts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Venue Details:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Location:</strong> 1146 Budapest, Istvánmezei út 3-5.</li>



<li><strong>Capacity:</strong> Roughly 67,000 for concerts, ensuring an electric, massive-scale atmosphere.</li>



<li><strong>How to Get There:</strong> The arena is easily accessible via public transport. The most convenient options are <strong>Metro Line M2 (Red Line)</strong> to the &#8220;Puskás Ferenc Stadion&#8221; stop, or <strong>Tram 1</strong>. Several bus and trolleybus lines also serve the area.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are looking to secure your spot at this massive event, you can <strong><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://prf.hn/l/y8MO2Oe/">buy Pitbull tickets on Viagogo here</a></strong>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Viagogo Operates</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Viagogo is one of the world’s largest secondary marketplaces for tickets to live events. It is a particularly useful platform for high-demand shows like Pitbull&#8217;s, where official primary tickets often sell out within minutes. On Viagogo, third-party sellers list their tickets, which means you can often find seats even for &#8220;sold-out&#8221; shows.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is important to note that because the marketplace is driven by supply and demand, prices on Viagogo might be higher than the original face value. However, it remains a fantastic and reliable option for fans who missed the initial release and want a guaranteed way into the venue. The platform provides a guarantee that you will receive valid tickets in time for the event, offering peace of mind for international travelers and local fans alike.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Global Takeover: Pitbull’s Breakthrough and World Tour</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pitbull’s journey to becoming &#8220;Mr. Worldwide&#8221; is a classic story of hustle and evolution. He first broke through in the mid-2000s with his debut album <em>M.I.A.M.I.</em>, but it was his transition into the &#8220;Latin-House&#8221; and pop-crossover scene that skyrocketed him to global superstardom. Hits like &#8220;I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho),&#8221; &#8220;Give Me Everything,&#8221; and &#8220;Timber&#8221; turned him into a mainstay on the Billboard charts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, his <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m Back&#8221; 2026 Tour</strong> is taking him across major cities in North America and Europe. In addition to Budapest, he is headlining major festivals like BST Hyde Park in London and performing in cities like Stockholm, Dublin, and Cologne. For a comprehensive look at his current travels, you can view the <strong><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://pitbullmusic.com/tour/">full tour list on the official Pitbull website</a></strong>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Past Performances in Budapest</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pitbull is no stranger to the Hungarian crowd. His previous visits to the city have been met with rave reviews, with fans often noting that he is one of the few artists who can keep an entire venue standing and dancing from the first beat to the final encore. Reviewers typically highlight the &#8220;carnival&#8221; atmosphere of his sets, which often feature a full live band and stunning visual displays. Whether it&#8217;s a smaller arena show or a massive stadium gig, the feedback is consistent: Pitbull knows how to throw a party.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The F1 Grand Prix in Budapest has been arranged every year since 1986, and every year hotels, apartments, and restaurants are filled up with people coming to Budapest to see and, experience the annual Formula One Grand Prix in town. If you plan to come, make sure to book your hotel room or apartment well in time; if not, it might be too late, or you will have to sleep in some hidden camping somewhere in the forest, as everything else will be full! </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who will win the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2026?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <strong>2025</strong>, Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix, narrowly holding off his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. In <strong>2024</strong>, Oscar Piastri took his maiden Formula 1 win at Hungary, after a dramatic intra-team situation where Norris eventually handed the lead via team orders.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead to <strong>2026</strong>, McLaren seem strong contenders — Norris and Piastri both already have recent wins and solid form. But don’t count out Red Bull, Mercedes or even Ferrari, depending on how they develop their cars. Strategy, tyre wear (Hungaroring is tough), and weather could all be deciding factors.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where can I buy tickets for the Formula One race at Hungaroring?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are lots of websites selling tickets for the Formula One race at Hungaroring. A very good website for buying tickets is <a href="https://shop.motorsport.tickets/">https://shop.motorsport.tickets/</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If there are no tickets left and you are desperate to buy one or more tickets for the Hungarian Grand Prix, then it is possible to buy tickets from others at <a href="https://prf.hn/l/MbL2Gb8" rel="nofollow">Viagogo</a>. But, you should know that the prices are higher than if you buy the tickets directly, and there are always risks when buying tickets online in this way.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where to stay if you come to Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Hunaroring is a good distance outside Budapest, many people are considering where to live. The area around the Hungaroring is quite desolate and abandoned, so the best thing is to stay in Budapest and only travel to the track on Sunday (and possibly on Saturday if you want to catch the race that day).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Below is a map showing Budapest and various hotels in the city center. It is easy to arrange a taxi via the hotel to transport you to the Hungaroring if desired.</p>

    "customMarkerTitle": ""
  }
});
      })();
  



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How can I travel to Hungaroring from Budapest?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is quite complicated to get to Hungaroring. For this reason, many people use taxis to travel to the venue during the competition days. A taxi is quite expensive, so if you want to save money, you could consider the public transportation solution. But, how much does a taxi really cost? It depends, but in 2023, the official taxi partner of the Formula One race was Bolt. If you order a taxi through them to Hungaroring, a normal taxi would cost about 40-50 Euros. Is that too much? Follow the public transportation instructions below.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The public transportation methods change frequently, but in recent years, the best option for traveling to Hungaroring has been the following.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Travel to the end station of the red metro Örz Vezér Tere.</li>



<li>Travel with HEV 8 (green train) from Örz Vezér Tere to Kerepes.</li>



<li>Travel from Kerepes with special Volanbusz to Hungaroring gate 3.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the race is finished and you want to get back to Budapest, do the following.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Travel with Volanbusz from Hungaroring to Gödöllö.</li>



<li>Travel by train or HEV from Gödöllö to Budapest.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A good thing is that you will not be alone, as thousands of others travel to and from Hungaroring in the same way. In other words, follow the crowd, and ask for help if you are insecure or need help.</p>

<figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" width="452" height="250" src="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/wp-content/uploads/Hungarian-Grand-Prix1.jpg" alt="formula 1 in budapest" class="wp-image-8810" /></figure>
</div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">When was the first Grand Prix race arranged in Budapest?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first Formula One Championship was held at Hungaroring in 1986. That was quite revolutionary, as Hungary was still behind the Iron Curtain at that time. Since then the annual race at Hungaroring has become a tradition and a highlight in the calendar of sports fans in Hungary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The current contract has ensured that Hungary will arrange an annual Formula One race until 2032.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is there anything else I should pay attention to as I attend the Formula One race at Hungaroring?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Hungarian Grand Prix is arranged in the middle of the summer. As a result, you should be prepared for extreme heat and strong sun. In other words, bring lots of sun cream along and you should probably add sun lotion to your skin several times while you are at the track. Another important thing is to drink enough water, besides all the alcoholic drinks many people consume while at the track.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have sensitive ears or just want to take good care of them, it might be wise to bring some earplugs. If you want to listen to live commentators on the radio, bring a headset that quiets the noise from the surroundings while giving you live reports from the race directly into your ears.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It isn&#8217;t a big problem, but wherever there are people, there are thieves. Watch out for your belongings at the track and even more so as you travel to and from the track and stand in line to enter or leave Hungaroring. You should also pay attention so that you don&#8217;t leave your backpack or other belongings at the metro, in the taxi, or at the racing track!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">August 20th is the &#8220;nicest&#8221; of the three holidays in Hungary. People are released from their jobs, and people just relax at home, go on excursions, and have a wonderful time. But, what is happening in the city of Budapest on August 20th?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="751" src="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/wp-content/uploads/fireworks-574739_1280-1200x751.jpg" alt="Fireworks in Budapest on August 20th" class="wp-image-10945" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budapest on August 20th</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are quite a lot of minor celebrations in town. There are special celebrations in front of the castle, by the former market (down by the Danube). On this day, people taste the Hungarian bread, they taste the cake of the year in Hungary, and sometimes, there are special performances and flight races in town.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important part of the August 20th celebration is the fireworks which last from 21.00 until 21.30. Normally, more than 1 million people enter the streets of Budapest to watch the event (along the Danube), and this is the most unifying celebration in Hungary every year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to do in Budapest on August 20th?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a tourist, you will notice that stores are closed. But, most <a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/activities/museums/">museums </a>are open, the Szechenyi thermal bath is open, and so are most of the restaurants around town. If you want to enjoy a <a href="https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/activities/danube-cruise/">river cruise</a>, there will be some differences in the timetables due to the fireworks starting at 21.00, but besides that, there isn&#8217;t much to think about.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Budapest is a beautiful city, but it becomes even more beautiful when it is dark outside and the lights are turned on! Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to see the city with your own eyes in the darkness while running a distance of 5, 10, or 21 kilometers? That is possible if you come to Budapest and participate in the Budapest Night Run, also referred to as Generali Night Run.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It started as a simple run, but it has become one of the most popular sports events in Budapest. The atmosphere is fantastic and due to the fact that it is in the evening, you avoid the extreme heat, and you get to see the beautiful city of Budapest at night. All distances start by the Castle Garden (Várkert). This is located on the Buda side, just below the castle (next to the Danube). From there you will run along the Danube towards Margaret Island. This makes you able to see the most famous Parliament building in the world with its beautiful illumination while running. You will later run in the castle district, through the tunnel, and in the area near the Chain Bridge. All in all, a fantastic experience. Throughout the race there are so-called pacers helping you keep your pace. In other words, if you plan on running at a pace of 5 minutes per kilometer, follow the person running with a sign telling you that they are keeping that pace.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budapest Night Run 2026</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Date</strong>: August 29, 2026<br><strong>More information and registration:</strong> <a href="https://futas.maratonman.hu/generali-night-run">https://futas.maratonman.hu/generali-night-run</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The earlier you register, the cheaper it gets. If you are very late, you can register on the spot before the race, but then you should arrive early to make sure everything gets finished in time before the race.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also races for kids, meaning that this is an event for the entire family.</p>
