I was sure I was in the wrong spot. Ridiculously underdressed for a Hungarian winter evening, I rechecked my phone as I searched for the entrance to Walk My World, an immersive circus and dance show based on Virgil’s Aeneid. I was looking forward to an evening of gods and monsters. But all I could see was the entrance to a multistorey car park.
Budapest is a popular weekend break destination for British holidaymakers. Most come to soak up the thermal baths and marvel at the architecture, as well as drink cheap beer in the city’s famous ruin bars. But among these well-trodden excursions, there are plenty of cultural activities tourists can enjoy, too: museums dedicated to centuries of history, modern art galleries, and, as I was about to find out, thrilling live performances.
