Budapest Puppet Theatre

One of Europe's largest puppet theatres on Andrássy Avenue, with shows for children and adults.

The Budapest Puppet Theatre is one of the largest and most distinguished puppet theatres in Europe, housed in an elegant building at Andrássy út 69 in the VI district of the Hungarian capital. Founded in 1949, it stages productions for both children and adults — from classic fairy tales to modern puppetry forms that captivate grown-up audiences too. The exceptional craftsmanship of its puppets and inventive staging have earned the theatre an international reputation. Located on Budapest's most important cultural boulevard, close to other major institutions, it is an integral part of the city's cultural life.
