We will be in Budapest in very late September of this year and have an interest in attending an opera or classical music concert.
Where is the best website to determine what will be playing at that time and access to tix to something we might be interested in attending?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello
This site is quite good:
http://www.jegymester.hu/index.jsp?lang=ENG¢ralHeader=1
On the left side you can check opera and music and also can buy your ticket online. You can pay with card and print a simple page as your ticket.

A good general site that may be of help: www.whatsonwhen.com. It's a world wide site, so it may also be of use in the future. Gary
The Hungarian State Opera house is the place to go. It has some pretty cheap seats, but it gets booked out fast. For the most popular operas, you'll want to book at least a month in advance. As someone already said, jegymester is the place to go for booking, but you can get more information (and direct links to jegymester) by checking out their website:

Smart evening wear is the norm, but it's not enforced, so you can dress in rags if you dare :).
For on every corner you litterally might find little gems like this one.. Nd i know that is something we all do when we travel but in Budapest i really felt like i needed another set of eyes..
This little coner adornation i found on Buda hill..
On some buildings of Budapest you will still see some holes or like on this one the places of the holes which are "original" memories, marks of shootings from WW2 or the revolution of 1956.
Hope they will be gone in the next 5-10 years or so...
Well, where ever you go you will see this little bomb shaped bottle which feature a golden cross on the front call UNICUM....now the taste of it..uhmmmm I am not a drinker so this taste pretty awful to say the least..:)))).....
Anyway... I have heard that Unicum is an acquired taste..and drunk mostly in Hungary and by Hungarians.....not one of my favorite memories of Hungary...LOL......
All it is ..is a skilful blend of more than 40 carefully selected herbs and spices. The lengthy ageing process which takes place over 6 months in oak casks gives Unicum its inimitable bitter-sweet flavour and exotic bouquet. It makes a perfect aperitif or dessert drink due to its beneficial and soothing effect on the stomach.
If you are brave try it at least once.....:)...
Biking in Budapest is still not the easiest in the world, but slowly and surely its getting better.
Critical Mass participants are fighting for the recognition of biking in the city and for more bike roads.
Here, we have actually reached the critical mass, since last April there were 50000 bikers participating! It was amazing! :)
If you happen to be around, join one of the CM City tours (there is usually one in April and one in September). Bike and maybe a funny costume :)
Inside the independance-park is a little lunapark with a giant wheel. Not that gigantic, but high enough to have a nice view over Pest and towards Buda. The park is behind the independance-square, where soldiers change guard at the monument for the unknown soldier. Inside the park is an old castle, which has some very nice courtyards, and some bathinghouses.

Q: 7 days "hi I am going to Budapest for a week and want to buy a 7 day transport ticket. Could someone tell me the one to buy and what..."
A: "Strange but true you buy the 7-day pass. You can get these from post offices and transport ticket offices and the pass allows use of all public transport within the city..."
