The ticket structure at the Hungarian National Gallery rewards giving it a proper slot in the day. A ticket to the temporary exhibition also opens the permanent and cabinet exhibitions for the rest of that day, and the Dome is included with any admission, though it only opens when the weather allows. The museum itself suggests one and a half to three hours for a visit, and the Museum Café inside the building means a break doesn’t require leaving. The trade-off is arriving by car: the whole Buda Castle district is a paid parking zone, and driving or taking a taxi into it is only allowed in exceptional cases, registered two to three working days ahead. Plan on the garage under Várkert Bazár instead.
