Hungarian Parliament Building

Hungarian Parliament Building ranks 2nd in the list of best places to visit in Budapest. The area around the country's architecturally appealing Parliament building (Országház) is a highlight of a tour through Budapest's lovely pedestrian-friendly cobbled lanes. It is one of the city's most aesthetically appealing neighborhoods, together with the Museum of Ethnography and the Ministry of Agriculture. This Neo-Gothic structure, the world's third biggest parliament building, was inaugurated in 1886 to commemorate the country's 1,000th anniversary (Hungary was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.)

This magnificent structure has 691 rooms as well as 19 kilometers of hallways and stairs. Guided tours will last roughly 45 minutes and include many of the building's highlights, including the main entrance hall, several lobbies, and the Hungarian Crown Jewels, and are available whenever the government is not sitting. Most seats sell out a week in advance, so book your tickets as soon as possible.
