About Hungarian Parliament Building
Hungary’s Parliament stretches for almost 270 metres along the Danube, a forest of spires and arches crowned by a great dome. Completed in the early 20th century, it is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world. Guided tours take you up the grand staircase to the domed hall, where the Holy Crown of Hungary is displayed; book tickets in advance at the visitor centre. For the classic view, cross to the Buda bank at dusk and watch it light up.
