Andrea Bocelli Budapest 2017

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Budapest Guide

On November 25th it is time for a fantastic concert in the Budapest Sportarena. Andrea Bocelli will enchant the audience in the arena with his beautiful voice.

Andrea Bocelli is an Italian singer. He was born in 1958, and in the first twelve years of his life he could actually see in part. But, due to a football accident he had at the age of 12 he completely lost his sight, and he has been blind since then. Even though he cannot see, he can sing in an amazing way. That is why he is touring the world large parts of the year and in 2017 he is also on a big tour visiting larger and smaller cities all across the world, for example New York, Marbella, Monte Carlo, Bratislava, Prague, Paris, Chicago, Washington, Vienna and lots of other cities.

If you would like to be there at the Andrea Bocelli concert in Budapest on November 25th, then you can buy your tickets using the link beneath. It is quite interesting that Andrea Bocelli actually was in Budapest not long ago, and then he had a free concert in the St. Stephens Basilica. The amount of people who wanted to be on the inside was of course much bigger than the amount of people that actually got to be there, but still, Andrea Bocelli has a special spot in the heart of the people of Budapest.

Judo World Championships 2017 in Budapest

Posted on May 4, 2017 by Budapest Guide

Between August 28th and September 3rd the Judo World Championships will be arranged in the Papp Laszlo Budapest Sportarena in Budapest.

2017 is going to be a great year for sports-enthusiasts in Budapest. Not only will the Hungarian capital arrange the FINA World Championships (swimming), but the city will also arrange the Judo World Championships. Even though the latter event might not bring as many people to town as the first event, arranging a world championships still is a giant thing to do.

Judo World Championships in Budapest — The Hungarian mascot and some Hungarian stars.

For a long time it was unknown which arena would be used for the event (and Wikipedia still doesn’t know it), but it has recently been published that the championship will be arranged in Papp Laszlo Budapest Sportarena. This is the most popular venue in Budapest for concerts and large indoor sports events. It is located near the city center, so if you find the Elisabeth Bridge (the white bridge), and just follow the main road on the Pest side and walk away from the bridge, you will in the end find yourself to be next to the venue. It is however much easier to just jump on the metro and travel to the metro stop named “Stadionok” on the red metro line.

The mascot for the tournament is the Judo playing Hungarian retriever (vizsla).

What to do in Budapest besides this?

There are lots of activities worth trying while in Budapest. A river cruise on the Danube can always be recommended, and the same is true about popular programs such as wine tastings and our private guided tours. You can read more about these and lots of other programs in the Hungarian capital here in our Budapest Guide.

There are few artists in the world today as popular as Bruno Mars. His real name is Peter Hernandez, and he has produced some of the biggest hits in the world in the latter years. He even performed in the half time show during the Super Bowl back in 2016, which again says something about his status in the world today.
