Probably the most famous structure in all of Hungary, this beautiful structure sits on the Danube in downtown Budapest. I took a couple great pictures from a boat tour of this building and also got a couple great "across the danube" pictures from the Fishermans Bastion. When i went here as a child in 1986, i remember Parliament wasn't in... more

Beautiful building out and in. Go with an organized tour (eg part of city tour). It is very difficult on your on. You have to wait in line to get to buy a ticket. Posted times you can go change. Dont rely on tour book or their sign. Ticket agent was rude. And then had to wait 3 hours b4... more

I arrived at the Parliament building at 9:30am and queued for about 30 minutes before being able to get my ticket for the 2pm tour. The tour is free for EU citizens (if you show your passport). On the guided tour, the tour guide explained that the building is modelled on Westminster. The tour lasted about 45 minutes and the... more

Stunning building on the Danube! Definately worth seeing, but beware of the incredibly long lines into the place. And the line does NOT move fast at all as they only allow a certain amount of people into the building at the time. I strongly urge you to book an appointment in advance for a tour! You can skip the entire... more

It was a non trivial exercise to get into the Parliament such is the interest from tourists and locals to view this magnificent building. There are hordes of tourists around the entrance so if you want to get in be there early, otherwise you will not get in. The guide explained everything in detail and we enjoyed our tour. The... more

First I will give you an idea of the process to get into the building: you can only approach one gate, gate 10 (X in Roman numerals), where the ticket office is. The rest of the building (even the... more

This gorgeous Parliament building in Budapest is among the 3 largest ones built during the Austro/Hungarian Monachy. Beautiful interior, national crown and many hidden jewels that I explored with Cityrama Budapest on a Parliament tour. Great fun!!!! more

The Parliament building is really amazing to watch, particular from a boat on the river. However, please avoid going inside. Indeed, apart from the crown, there is very little to see, and be amazed about. Furthermore, it would take longer to get in, then to actual see the building more

Went on an organised tour round the Parliament building last weekend. Getting in a little complicated - you wait in one queue at a gate to be allowed in to buy a ticket (an armed guard decides when/if you should get in), then once you get a ticket, you go back outside and join another queue to go on the... more
