" I have to admit this is the most beautiful and fascinating library I have ever seen so far. To the southeast of the Hungarian National Museum lies the central hub of Budapest's public library system, housing approximately 2.4 million books and bound periodicals, along with over 250,000 audiovisual and digital items. Constructed in 1889 and meticulously refurbished, the public reading room features intricate gypsum ornamentation, gold tracery, and grand chandeliers. For entering you can just buy a visitor ticket for 5 Euro which gives you access to Wi Fi and other facilities. "

The most impressive part of the library is the 4th floor where you can explore rooms like the old ballroom, dining hall and more.
You can visit the library for around $5/person from Monday-Saturday!"
