More details
IKONO Budapest is an interactive museum of themed rooms built for photos, play and a bit of wonder — from mirror mazes to color-drenched installations. It's a self-guided experience, so you move through the rooms at your own pace rather than following a set route.
The museum is centrally located in the heart of Pest, and tickets are time-slotted, so booking online in advance is the easiest way to secure the time you want, especially on weekends.
IKONO is open Monday to Thursday from 10:00 to 19:00, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00. Last admission is one hour before closing.
- Opening hours can change around public holidays, so it's worth checking the current schedule for your visit date before you go.
- Arriving closer to opening or on a weekday generally means a quieter experience with fewer people in each room.
- Since last admission is an hour before closing, plan to arrive with enough time to enjoy all the rooms without rushing.
- The museum operates on a self-guided basis, so once you're inside you can take as long or as little time in each room as you like within opening hours.
- Check the official website for any temporary closures or schedule changes before planning your visit.
Weekday tickets cost 6,000 HUF for adults and 4,000 HUF for children. On weekends and public holidays, tickets cost 6,400 HUF for adults and 4,600 HUF for children. Infants enter free of charge.
- A 15% discount is available for visitors with disabilities.
- Tickets are time-slotted, so you book a specific entry time when you buy online.
- Buying online in advance is recommended, especially for weekend slots, which can sell out.
- Group tickets are available for groups of 15 or more — contact the museum in advance to arrange group bookings.
- Your ticket covers a single self-guided visit through all the themed rooms.
Our local tip: come on a weekday morning if you can — the rooms are far less crowded, which makes for better photos and more time to actually enjoy each installation rather than queueing for a shot.
- Wear something you like being photographed in — many of the rooms are designed specifically for photos and short videos.
- Charge your phone before you go; you'll likely take more photos than you expect.
- Arrive on time for your booked slot — entry is time-slotted and running late can mean losing your reservation.
- A visit typically takes around an hour, so it pairs well with a walk down Váci utca or a coffee stop nearby.
- If you're travelling with a stroller, use the free luggage storage at the entrance rather than trying to bring it through the rooms.
IKONO is made up of a series of themed interactive rooms, each built around a different concept — from mirror-filled spaces to bold color installations — that you explore at your own pace.
Inside the museum
- A rotating series of interactive rooms designed for exploration, play and photography.
- Installations that regularly change or get refreshed, so repeat visits can offer a different experience.
- A self-guided layout, letting you spend as much or as little time as you like in each room.
Good for all ages
The rooms are designed to appeal to visitors of any age, whether you're visiting with children, as a couple, or with friends.
The museum's rooms are on one level and generally easy to move through, though a few installations involve tight spaces or low lighting.
- Strollers are not permitted inside the rooms, but free luggage storage is available at the entrance.
- Visitors under 16 need to be accompanied by an adult.
- Service dogs are allowed inside the museum. For detailed accessibility questions ahead of your visit, contact IKONO's visitor service directly.
IKONO's rooms are shared, photo-focused spaces, so a few simple rules keep the experience good for everyone.
- Arrive on time for your booked slot — arriving more than 10 minutes late can mean forfeiting your reservation.
- Flash photography and tripods are not allowed inside the rooms.
- Please don't film or photograph other visitors without their consent.
- Groups of 15 or more should contact the museum in advance to arrange their visit.
- Handle the installations with care — some are delicate and shared by every visitor that day.
Choosing your ticket
Weekday or weekend ticket?
Weekday tickets (6,000 HUF adult / 4,000 HUF child) are the better-value option if your schedule allows a Monday-to-Thursday visit. Weekend and public holiday tickets cost a bit more (6,400 HUF adult / 4,600 HUF child) and tend to sell out faster.
Infants enter free, and a 15% discount applies for visitors with disabilities — bring any relevant documentation with you.
Getting there
How to get to IKONO Budapest
IKONO is located at Váci utca 27, right in the middle of Budapest's main pedestrian shopping street. The closest metro stations are Deák Ferenc tér (where the M1, M2 and M3 lines meet) and Vörösmarty tér on the M1 line, both a short walk away.
Because it's on Váci utca, it's an easy stop to combine with shopping, a coffee break, or a walk down to the Danube promenade nearby.
