The home of large-scale Budapest events in the Buda Castle District. 640 m², nearly 15 metres of ceiling height, up to 300 guests.
The rebuilt Royal Riding Hall is one of the most impressive buildings of Buda Castle Palace, embraced by the equally renewed Csikós Courtyard, which is itself an excellent open-air event space.
Stepping inside, a grand and elegant riding hall opens up, providing an exceptional setting for large corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, balls and even weddings. The presidential box on the upper floor offers an unrivalled view of the hall; it also houses the orchestra box and the service rooms.
Our event management and catering team brings several decades of experience, so we are at our clients’ service from the most straightforward requirements to the most bespoke requests.
The Royal Riding Hall offers a unique opportunity to companies that want to stage their events in a prestigious, experience-led setting with a historic atmosphere rather than in a conventional conference facility. The 640 m² event space and the directly adjoining Csikós Courtyard can be combined flexibly, even within a single event, so the venue adapts readily to a wide range of event formats.
Base capacity of around 300 guests, with natural daylight. Larger numbers can be assessed on an individual basis.

The Royal Riding Hall can be an outstanding venue for high-prestige, representative and protocol events. The historic setting, Hungarian gastronomic traditions and the equestrian and hussar heritage form a unique whole that offers a memorable experience to international guests and key VIP partners alike, while making a strong contribution to presenting Hungarian cultural values and the country’s image.
