Madame Tussauds Budapest is a wax museum in the city center displaying over 50 carefully crafted figures of celebrities, sports stars, and political leaders. The figures are arranged in different themed zones where visitors can get close to them and take photos.

This blend of national and global entertainment figures creates a unique setting where visitors can connect with both local and worldwide pop culture.
The museum is open daily with extended hours on weekends, making it accessible for most visitors. Buying tickets in advance online helps avoid queues during busy times.
Visitors can create custom wax hand casts as personal souvenirs during their visit. This hands-on activity offers a tangible memory of the experience beyond typical photography.
