If you come to Budapest, you have to visit Folk performance.
There are folk performances in restaurants, on ships on the Danube river, but the most impressive ones are given by big professional folk ensembles.
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble the Danube Folk Ensemble and Rajkó Folk Ensemble are three of the best Hungarian folk ensembles with the longest tradition (the first one was formed in 1951, and the second one in 1957), which have performances all around the country and abroad. All the three of the Ensembles consist of 30 artists. Their choreographies are based on authentic dances. Some of them were collected in isolated villages and date back hundreds of years. Through the performed dances you can get a broad view of the music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and the Hungarian inhabited areas.
