Miskolc, the secrets of the city by the Bükk – In the footsteps of Déryné

Behind the scenes at the Miskolc National Theatre

There’s a place in Miskolc where stories have been born for over two centuries.
Where the city’s dreams, dramas, and legends come to life on stage night after night.

This place is the Miskolc National Theatre.

On the special thematic tour by Visit Miskolc, you won’t just observe the world of theatre from the audience – we’ll take you behind the scenes.

The programme starts at Déryné’s former house, the legendary actress whose name is forever intertwined with the history of Miskolc’s theatre. From here, we’ll stroll through the city centre, bringing theatrical tales, artistic destinies, and urban legends to life.

The tour concludes at the 203-year-old Miskolc National Theatre, where a unique experience awaits:

  • a glimpse behind the scenes
  • exploration of the theatre’s hidden spaces
  • a 15-minute mini performance
  • a visit to the Actor's Museum, where memories of legendary artists await
  • and for those who wish, the chance to don a costume and step onto the stage for a special selfie


This tour is more than just sightseeing.

It’s a meeting with the theatrical soul of Miskolc.

Spaces are limited, so early registration is recommended.

Programme time: 14:00 
Duration: approximately 3 hours

Participants of the tour also have the opportunity to complete their behind-the-scenes experience with an evening performance at the Miskolc National Theatre on the same day.

The theatre’s performances are usually highly popular, and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.

If you’d like to combine the tour with a theatre evening, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance online via the theatre’s official ticket purchasing platform.
