HUNGARIAN STATE OPERA The Opera House is not only one of the most significant listed buildings of Budapest but number one institute of opera playing with a 300-year-old history as well as the symbol of Hungarian classical music culture. The Hungarian State Opera holds its absolute leading position in Hungarian theatrical life: besides the Paris Opera it is one of the greatest centres of integrated arts in the world. MAGYAR ÁLLAMI OPERAHÁZ Az Operaház nemcsak Budapest egyik legjelentősebb műemléke, hanem a háromszáz éves múltra visszatekintő magyar operajátszás első számú intézménye, komolyzenei kultúránk szimbóluma. A Magyar Állami Operaház magabiztosan őrzi abszolút első helyét a hazai színházi életben: a párizsi mellett, az egyik legnagyobb összművészeti centruma, integrált operaintézménye a világnak.

A38 is the reincarnation of 'Tripolie', a Ukranian stone-carrier ship, built in 1968. The name comes from Artemovsk which is the ship prototype, and this one was the 38th unit of the 'Artemovsk' class. The re-building project lasted for one and a half years. Architects, ship engineers, acoustic designers, electricians, musicians and promoters contributed their skills and experience to make it a both artist and audience friendly place. After years of constant development, A38 has become a cultural entertainment centre with international programme, a restaurant, five bars, one main concert hall, open-air terraces and lounges - all in one aboard as one of the most fascinating venues in Budapest. Since its opening it became the flagship of Budapest nightlife, a must-see spectacle on the Danube with scenic view and one of Europe's coolest clubs which has been voted 'The World's Greatest Bar' – according to the poll of Lonely Planet in 2012.
