Budapest’s Golden Assembly
Standing on the banks of the Danube River, the Hungarian Parliament Building is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. Commissioned in 1880, it took over 1,000 people and 24 years to build. Unless you know your way around, it’s easy to get lost in this massive structure, which features 10 courtyards and hundreds of offices linked by an endless array of corridors. Aside from being home to Hungary’s National Assembly, the building also houses the nation’s crown, worn by 50 rulers, dating back to the 12th century.

Budapest Parliament Building - Tour Inside HUNGARY
We took a tour of the Hungarian Parliament Building. There are several languages available for the guided tour and they provide a handy and comfortable headset to hear the guide from a distance.
The fee was very small and totally worth it for the 45 minute tour.
I suggest to pre book tickets and not get them on the spot but that is also available.
There's a cafe inside the building right near the ticket booth so if your hungry before or after grab a snack or coffee but be prepared to pay higher prices.
Cameras are allowed though no flash photography.

Budapest Parliament Tour | Budapest Hungary
Come along for a tour of one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Parliament in Budapest.
Hungarian Parliament Building - Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian Parliament Building is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated in Kossuth Square. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and It was designed by Hungarian architect, Imre Steindl, in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902.
Budapest was united from three cities in 1873, namely Buda, Óbuda, and Pest. Seven years later, the Diet of Hungary or originally: Parlamentum Publicum, resolved to establish a new, representative parliament building, expressing the sovereignty of the nation. The building was planned to face the river. An international competition was held, and Imre Steindl, emerged as the victor; the plans of two other competitors were later also realized in the form of the Ethnographic Museum and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, both facing the Parliament Building. Construction from the winning plan was started in 1885, and the building was inaugurated on the 1000th anniversary of the country in 1896. It was completed in 1904. About 100,000 people were involved in construction, during which 40 million bricks, half a million precious stones and 40 kilograms of gold were used. Since World War II the legislature became unicameral, and today the government uses only a small portion of the building.
The Parliament Building is built in the Gothic Revival style; it has a symmetrical façade and a central dome. The dome is Renaissance Revival architecture. The Parliament inside is also symmetrical and thus has two absolutely identical parliament halls of which one is used for politics, the other for guided tours. It is 268 m long and 123 m wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms. The main facade overlooks the River Danube, but the official main entrance is from the square on the east side of the building. Inside and outside, there are altogether 242 sculptures on the walls. The Holy Crown of Hungary, which is also depicted in the coat of arms of Hungary, has been displayed in the central hall since 2000.
Standing right in front of the Parliament is the statue of Grof Andráshi Gjula. The statue commemorates one of Hungary's most beloved politicians who served as the nation's prime minister between 1867 and 1871.
Prominently on display in the square is Francis II Rakóczi, leader of the Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs in the early 1700's. Although defeated in 1711 and forced to spend the rest of his life in exile, he is considered a national hero.
On the right side, there is the monument dedicated to former Hungarian Prime Minister Kossuth Lajos.
Being a traveler in Budapest, the Parliament building is one of city attractions, you must visit. Take your time, to admire beautiful architecture and history surrounding amazing Kossuth Square.

Unesco heritage site: Budapest Parliament - the most beautiful in Europe
Support our channel :
The Hungarian Parliament Buildings are part of the main Budapest UNESCO World Heritage site.
You'll also discover in this video shoes on the Danube Promenade Memorial.
The Hungarian Parliament Buildings (Orszaghaz) are some of the oldest in Europe and were built in the nineteenth century in a dramatic Gothic Revival style. Characterised by peaked towers, an ornate limestone facade and a spectacular dome, the Hungarian Parliament Buildings are reminiscent of the UK’s Houses of Parliament.
The architect of the Hungarian Parliament Buildings, Imre Steindl, was chosen following a competition to design them, but became ill in the course of their construction. In fact, by the time they were completed in 1904, he had become blind.
Today, the Hungarian Parliament Buildings are home to the National Assembly of Hungary as well as a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can enjoy the many works of art both inside and outside these incredible buildings, from frescoes and stained glass to the many statues scattered throughout.

BUDAPEST CARD + Hospital of the Rock & Hungarian Parliament
Last year, Halef went to Budapest and worked with the Budapest Tourism Board to promote the Budapest Card. When he got back, he told me what a great time he had.
So, on my tip, I decided to do the same. And I did a few other things - including a couple of unique things that he didn't do on his trip.
If you want to know if the Budapest Card is worth it, check out this video.
Special thanks to the friendly folks at Budapest Tourism for the complimentary Budapest Card:

While I was in Budapest, I used AirBnB. If you want to give AirBnB a try on your next trip, I recommend you do. You usually get the privacy of a hotel at a far cheaper price, and it makes your trip more personal.

And if you want to stay at the place I used here in Budapest, it's pretty unique. It's a beer hostel and I think it's worth it! A large private room with a clean shared bath. And outside, there is a very popular bar with lots of craft brew choices.
And you'd think it would be loud there at night, but it definitely was not!
