Italian Institute
The sanctuary of Italian culture in Budapest is located near in an old buliding built in the beginning of the 20th century. Those who are interested in Italian culture are welcomed by a small but cozy and unique library packed with a huge collection of literature, journals and magazines. All of these are perfect for language practice purposes. The Institute often organizes film clubs to show entertaining and enjoyable movies, often with Hungarian subtitles. Since the hall has perfect acoustics its perfectly suitable for concerts, satisfying the natural Italian need for music. Also food palys an important role around here; Italian gastro events have become quite popular in the Institute’s life thanks to the intercultural habit of loving food.

French Istitute uses all the empty spaces and every available surface to fill with small exhibitions.
