A Five-Star Experience at the Palace of Arts

Budapest's Palace of Arts, one of the city's premier cultural meccas, is celebrating its fifth birthday this month with some spectacular competitions and offers for everyone.

Here's a flavour of what's in store:

For budding photographers there's the chance to have their photo included as part of a new exhibition "Experience! In all respects!". Pics need to capture what the Palace of Arts means to the photographer whether it's part of a show or a quirky angle of the building itself.

Starting this month and continuing until June, visitors to the Palace can join in the Five Star Experience Game by collecting stars in their coupon leaflets. Once a line of stars has been completed it can be entered into a grand draw with a chance to win Palace of Art season tickets, books, gifts and show tickets. Stars can be collected when buying gift shop items, tickets and there's one free in every programme too.

Plus as ever there's a fantastic line up of shows, performances and events for all the family this season including Sangre Flamenca - Spanish ballet at its twirl-inducing best. To get a taste of what else Budapest's cultural Kasiers have to offer, check out our events and culture pages.
