Departure by coach, accompanied by your guides. You will follow the river to the famous Hungarian Parliament Building, whose majestic silhouette is reflected in the waters of the Danube. With its architecture combining Neo-Gothic and Neo-Byzantine styles, it is considered one of the most impressive buildings in Europe. Built between 1884 and 1902, at the height of the city’s development, it symbolizes the golden age of the Hungarian capital and its ambition to rival the great European metropolises.
Its dome, rising to 96 meters — a highly symbolic number in Hungarian history — dominates this monumental complex, which has become the emblem of Budapest. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the parliament now houses the Hungarian Crown Jewels, worn by the country’s greatest rulers since the Middle Ages. It also hosts the Hungarian National Assembly as well as several official offices. The interior décor is particularly worth admiring, with its vast richly decorated halls, frescoes, stained-glass windows, and remarkable sculptures, while its limestone exterior façade offers an equally splendid sight.
N.B.: The visit to the parliament may be subject to closure without prior notice.
Length: approx. 4h
