National Casino, Cultural institution in Central Budapest, Hungary.

The National Casino is a cultural institution in central Budapest with neoclassical features throughout its structure. Its facade displays symmetry and large windows on multiple levels, giving it a formal appearance.

The building was founded in 1827 by Count István Széchenyi as a gathering place for Hungarian nobility and intellectuals. After wartime damage, it returned to its original purpose in 1990.

The building functions as a meeting place for people interested in literature and the arts. Its spaces host exhibitions and events that remain part of the city's cultural life today.

Visitors can explore the building during regular opening hours with information available at the entrance. A cafe on site serves traditional Hungarian drinks and snacks for refreshment during your visit.

The building houses an extensive library with thousands of books on Hungarian literature and history. This collection has been carefully preserved and forms an important part of the city's intellectual memory.
