Daniel CarreraDecember 2, 2017Amazing building during the day, impressive to watch during the night, the tallest building in Budapest. Many parts of it’s interior are made with gold, here you´ll find the Hungarian crown
Upvoted Mar 8- Fluying ✅August 31, 2016Top notch building in Hungary, a neo-gothic palace with neo-Renaissance dome. Built for the 1000 yr anniversary of the Hungarians in 1896 (but finished in 1902). Best views at sunset across the Danube
- Artyom FedosovMay 26, 2016The most beautiful government building I've ever seen. Made in neogothic style, it looks stunning both day and night time. But admission fee is frustrating: 20 € (non-EU) for 30 min with a group tour.

NikkaFebruary 1, 2015Architectonical monument of whole Budapest- it's so huge that you can see its part quite from all parts of the city.Below it's a riverwalk path,from which you can take snaps of it,especially at night.
Chris Giapitzis-PapandreouFebruary 3, 2019Beautiful building, day and night. Not sure if the indoor tour is actually worth it but in any case it's not expensive so go for it if you are a politics/history "junkie"
- Ariana VoyerOctober 2, 2018To view the beautiful architecture and enjoy the setting, try going on a Sunday morning. I went around 10:30 and hardly any tourists had arrived yet. Lovely!
Amit GaharwarJuly 17, 2018One of the most prominent buildings on Budapest circuit. You will see it from every major site you visit in Budapest. In the night the illumonations are great. Best views from opposite bank.
Darleny LopezJanuary 11, 2016Amazing building. Impressive, beautiful a work of fine art. This is the best building in the city. Love it
Ravneet MaviMay 30, 2017Beautiful building on the river, surrounded by beautifully landscaped public space. A cute little yellow tram#2, keeps running along side it. Make sure to visit it after sunset as well.
Maryam SheikhlouSeptember 3, 2018It’s a so beautiful and building next to the Danube river. You can see it from the top of the Buda castle and at night, it has a wonderful reflection on the river.
Jennifer HardiJanuary 25, 2016Gorgeous place inside out! Must definitely go for the tour inside the building. Very grandeur architecture
KyzeJanuary 27, 2015The most amazing building in Budapest. The visit is short but worth it for the low price. Buy the ticket in advance, they sell out. You won't miss much if you take the tour in another language.
Stoian AnastasiaJune 3, 2017You should try the guided tour (it is pretty interesting and it has a low price). I also recommend the Danube cruise at night so you can see the amazing architecture also by night :)
Joanne WrightOctober 10, 2014An absolutely amazing building the detail is outstanding. Get off the tube on the opposite side of the river for a great photo. Or go on a night river cruise.
Juanxito GómezAugust 7, 2018Huge and amazing parliament. The architecture is awesome. At night is also amazing.
Thomas CraenenAugust 10, 2015Definitely worth having a look inside although the ticket price is rather high for the value of the tour. Be sure to arrive 5 minutes in advance.
Klára KančiováNovember 5, 2017Amazing building. It is possible to have guided tour inside, but it is better to make reservation online at least day before. Enjoy !
Marina AleksicNovember 29, 2015Amazing architecture, beautiful design. Its even more beautiful at night. Make sure to take a walk in front by the river.
Carl GriffinDecember 31, 2015Stunning cathedral like structure dominating the Pest riverbank. Tours are available in 8 different languages.
Max StolkJuly 13, 2017Make a reservation online and of you are joining the last tour (6pm), you do not have more than 10 minutes in the last room where you have "as long as you want". It is a quick and enjoyable tour.
Taylor MollJune 19, 2019Be sure to go during the daytime and the night. The architecture is well worth the trip twice!
Xinacu IBZAugust 31, 2013Must see at Night, and if you can book before so you can avoid the queue better, if not you should go at afternoon and try to catch a tour(no queue but could be not a Tour in your lenguage)
Jan VymětalApril 1, 2014Don't wait in long line for newly discovered roman treasure like we did (even it is for free), buy ticket for guided tour in Museum of Ethnography opposite the parliament. No knifes, pepper sprays...
Bora KayasuApril 20, 2019Stunning architecture! Definitely worth to buy a tour inside.. Must seen from Buda side at night too with night lightning.
Olena KaunJuly 8, 2016Stunning building,definitelly worth visiting.Though the tour is 40 mins long, pricy for non-EU citizens, guide's English is not good,but still it's very interesting to see the building from the inside
Lena BantovskayaApril 12, 2017One of the most beautiful buildings in Europe! The most beautiful parliament in Europe for sure!!!
Kasia KoczułapJuly 6, 2016Beautiful building, also by night. Go inside (buy ticket on Internet), worth to see.
The Ritz-CarltonDecember 20, 2016The over 100 year old Parliament building is the third largest legislative building in the world. It stretches between Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge on the Pest bank of the Danube.
Victoria S ⚅October 15, 2015An incredible building and one of the biggest in Europe.The view from Buda side is spectacular.Visit it the day and the night.
Sina FtrJanuary 13, 2016I have travelled to a lot of countries and what I can say is that there's nothing similar to the Parlament Building, It's a unique experience!
Sophie CampbellMay 7, 2016Book tickets for the tour online or go early as sell out fast. Beautiful architecture
Roberto MolinaroJanuary 5, 2014Must see! Plan your schedule and book your tour in advance (possible on their website) unless you want to wait a lot in the tourist season.
Matteo InnocentiMay 24, 2015You can book the guided tour online: the cost is about 7€ per person for about an hour. Definitely a must see
Frankie RobertoDecember 10, 2014Tours are half price to those with an EU passport, so bring yours along if you have one. There's no cloakroom, so avoid having a heavy backpack or bag with you if you can.
Rokfort ÉtteremMay 12, 2014Try the Rokfort Restaurant just 150m from the Parliament! 10% discount for newbies! Goulash soup and lot of Hungarian meals!
Ele Gagnidze 유April 10, 2016It is totally worth visiting. Very beautiful interior as well as the exterior.
Priya TungrusJune 5, 2016Walk along at night - plenty of seats along the river to turn round and see the views.
Georgina HApril 10, 2014Make sure you get to the ticket office (in the opposite museum)early. The wait can take 1hour+, even at 9am! Take Identity documents too, or risk being refused. Discount for UK citizens (50% off).
Sági MihályOctober 22, 2015A must visit place in Budapest. It's breathtaking from the inside. Take a break and take a guided tour.
SiobhánSeptember 19, 2017The guided tour is worth it to see the beautiful inside before taking in the outside.
Dylan StilinJuly 17, 2014Incredible building. No need to book a tour, just admire the outside. Best view is from across the river.- Olena KaunJuly 8, 2016From time to time there's guard change ceremony outside of the parliament, but it's too much theatrical.The real guard change takes place inside in the Dome Chamber where the King's crown is excibited
Burak KocamazJune 11, 2017Good and modern construction.It is symbol of Budapest. .In front of seaside and between bridges..
