Budapest Circus, Entertainment building in Városliget Park, Budapest, Hungary.
The Budapest Circus is a permanent stone building with a circular performance ring and tiered seating arranged for about 1,450 guests. The hall provides year-round indoor space for various types of live shows and events under one roof.
The circus operation began in 1889 under German-Dutch director Ede Wulff as a traveling venture. The current stone building was constructed in 1971 and was then the only permanent circus structure of its kind in Central Europe.
The name refers to its role as a center for diverse artistic performances that draw audiences from across the city. Today visitors can observe how the space serves many different types of events beyond traditional circus acts.
The building sits within a park and is accessible in any weather since all performances happen indoors. Visitors should know that the program varies depending on the season and type of event being hosted.
The venue hosts not only traditional circus acts but regularly transforms into a space for fashion shows, sports events, classical concerts, and opera performances. This range makes it far more than just a circus building and shows its flexibility as an event space.
