The urban buzz is especially strong in downtown Pest’s District VII, home of the now-world-famous "ruin pub" along with offbeat design stores, specialty street food, and modern-art galleries – but this area is also revered as Budapest’s historic Jewish Quarter, featuring Europe’s biggest synagogue.
Illuminating audiences with new art-house creations, this legendary movie museum offers varied entertainment with multiple Hungarian and international film screenings daily, including numerous movies played in their original language, alongside preview showings, film festivals and film clubs. The theater features two viewing halls named after Hungarian silver-screen legends Béla Lugosi (best known for his iconic portrayal of Dracula) and Mihály Kertész (aka Michael Curtiz, the Oscar-winning director of Casablanca).
