A taste of old Hungary
The band were a trio playing recognisable music, dancers were good too lots of stamping, clapping and thigh slapping. Food and drink was nice too. Would recommend well worth the price
via Tripadvisor
Event wasn’t actually on!!!
Even though we only booked the month before the booking was invalid as they don’t operate on a Monday. Only found out when got there and o phoned up. Annoying as viator contacted us day before saying looking forward to our visit. Full refund but wasted evening!!!

Somewhat disappointed
Took a taxi from our hotel to the location which had a major power outage and found a note that the performance was moved onto a river cruise 2 1/2 hours later which interfered with our scheduled plans. Now had to taxi yo another location. The river cruise was nice and unexpected, the musicians were great as well as the couple that danced a few routines. My expectation was we would see many dancers performing many different styles of their culture over the 90 minute show.

Experience worth living
Cozy atmosphere, great service. I enjoy every moment of the show. Really gave me a taste of traditional Hungarian music.

Good experience

Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Budapest.
How much does Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Budapest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Budapest is not rushed.
Is Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 140 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Budapest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket?
+
Around 49 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Budapest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Budapest and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Budapest: Hungarian Folklore Dance Performance & Concert Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Budapest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Budapest?
+
On Outty we rank every Budapest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Budapest Ruin Pub Crawl +6 Shots +VIP Entries +Drinking Games, Budapest City Landmarks Walking Tour in 2 Hours, Countryside Half-day Gastro-Wine Tour from Budapest Meal & pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Budapest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Budapest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
