Getting here
By Car
Via Soroksári út from Boráros tér:
To avoid delays at the traffic lights, we recommend turning right into the service road (Lechner Ödön fasor) running parallel to Soroksári út as soon as possible at Boráros tér. It is also possible to join the service road further along at Vágóhíd utca. The Müpa Budapest underground car park can be accessed by driving around to the left of the building.
Via Soroksári út from Soroksár:
Turning left at the Vágóhíd utca junction is prohibited, so motorists must turn right onto Vágóhíd utca and loop around to cross Soroksári út before turning left onto Laczkovich utca to enter the Müpa Budapest underground car park.
Via Könyves Kálmán körút from Népliget:
Turn right onto Mester utca at the Lurdy House shopping mall, then turn left at Vágóhíd utca. Continue straight ahead at the junction, crossing Soroksári út before turning left onto Laczkovich utca to access the Müpa Budapest underground car park.
Via Rákóczi Bridge from Buda:
After turning right at the end of the bridge, take the left lane and follow the signs to “Centrum” before immediately turning right onto Vágóhíd utca. Loop around to cross Soroksári út and turn left into Laczkovich utca to access the Müpa Budapest underground car park.

Parking information
I. FREE PARKING
Müpa Budapest provides complementary parking for visitors with paid tickets to any of our public performances on the day of the performance.
Free parking in this case is available for a single entry and lasts until Müpa Budapest closes.
Parking is available for our visitors in two locations: the underground garage and the outdoor parking lot.
1. The Underground garage
The underground garage is available for guests of Müpa Budapest every day during normal building operating hours. Visitors arriving to one of our paid events can enter the garage without obtaining a parking ticket; other guests have to get a parking ticket from the terminal upon entry.
A. Entry without a parking ticket using a performance ticket on the performance day
• If you have the performance ticket for the day at hand when entering the garage, you do not have to get a parking ticket – simply hold the barcode of the ticket to the barcode reader. (The system reads the barcode/QR code of tickets either bought at our box offices or printed at home or presented on the screen of your smartphone and opens the gate.) We ask that you bring a printed ticket with you.
For those with e-tickets, please note that portable devices that exceed 90mm x 120mm x 30mm may not be suitable for e-ticket scanning at the gates. For easy scanning and smooth entry, please pinch zoom the e-ticket on your device (optimal QR code size is 3 cm x 3 cm) and hold your device’s screen to the scanner.
Should the size of your portable device exceed the above dimensions, please bring a printed copy of your e-ticket for guaranteed admission.
By scanning your ticket, you pay for your parking when you enter the garage, and therefore you may leave at any time without further payment (as long as the building is open).
If your e-ticket is recognised and accepted, but the parking garage gates won’t open, please get a parking ticket from the machine at the gates. Later, you can validate your parking ticket by showing your valid e-ticket at the counter. For further information see “Entry with parking ticket”.
When leaving the garage, the system reads the number plate of your vehicle, verifies that you have paid for your parking and opens the gate.
Important: Please retain your performance ticket until you exit the garage.
B. Entry with a parking ticket and a performance ticket on the performance day
• If your performance ticket is not at hand when you enter the underground garage, or the system does not open the gate after reading the barcode of your ticket, please take a parking ticket from the ticket machine.
• You can validate your parking ticket later – and thus annul any parking fee with your performance ticket to a paid public event for that day. Please do not leave your parking ticket in your vehicle so you may validate it at one of the parking terminals.
For those with e-tickets, please note that portable devices that exceed 90mm x 120mm x 30mm may not be suitable for e-ticket scanning at the gates. For easy scanning and smooth entry, please pinch zoom the e-ticket on your device (optimal QR code size is 3 cm x 3 cm) and hold your device’s screen to the scanner.
Should the size of your portable device exceed the above dimensions, please bring a printed copy of your e-ticket for guaranteed admission.
C. Entry with prior registration for the Platinum parking spaces
Those patrons who have reached the Platinum level of the Müpa+ loyalty programme may continue to register for the Platinum parking spaces, located in the underground garage, on the Müpa homepage. Registration is possible on the concert page until 11:59 pm on the day before the concert. The gates of the garage will automatically open upon approaching the entrance and exit terminals after license plate recognition.
D. Using Mastercard parking spaces with prior registration
This service may only be used by holders of personal Mastercard World Elite or Mastercard Corporate and Business Premium cards issued by a Hungarian bank or financial institution, and subject to the availability of the parking spaces reserved for Mastercard Premium Parking, which are located on level -1 of the Müpa Budapest underground garage. Holders of any of the cards listed above with a ticket for that day’s performance are entitled to use these spaces. In order to take advantage of the service, register in advance on the mupa.hu website, entering the vehicle’s licence plate number. The registration period opens 29 days before the date of the performance. You can change a previously submitted licence plate number up until no later than 24 hours before the start of the performance. The gate system will automatically read the licence plate number and open to allow the vehicle to enter/exit.
Validation of parking tickets for free parking
Our visitors can themselves validate their parking tickets at the parking terminals located on every level of the underground garage.
Parking ticket machines are available in the underground garage – at the posted signs.
How to use the parking terminals:
• hold the barcode of the parking ticket to the barcode reader,
• when prompted, hold the barcode/QR code of your performance ticket to the barcode reader,
• the system informs you that your parking fee has been validated, and you may leave the garage with your vehicle.
You can validate your parking ticket
• before the start of the performance,
• during the intermission, or even
• after the performance.
When leaving the garage, the system reads the number plate of your vehicle, verifies that your parking has been validated and opens the gate.
After validating your ticket, you may leave the underground garage at any time until the building closes.
Important: Do not forget to validate your parking ticket before attempting to leave the garage as you cannot do so at the gate.
