Lose yourself in the heart of Hungary and admire the most important and splendorous monument of Budapest, as you learn everything about its history.
Would you like to explore the most emblematic monument in Budapest? Book our Budapest Parliament Tour and enjoy the unforgettable experience of exploring one of the largest and most beautiful parliaments all over the world.
With the company of our Spanish speaking guide, we will discover the rooms and areas that this historical gem from the XIX century has to show. Did you know that Imre Sreindl, the architect who designed the monument, became totally blind just some months before its inauguration? Unfortunately, he couldn’t admire its beauty when finished but you have the opportunity to do it now.
As we access from the main imperial-style staircase, we can admire two huge lions on both sides, and a magnificent entrance where the marble and gold predominate, as well as impressive granite columns and fussy ceilings that represent allegories in honour of Károly Lotz and the Hungarian motherland.
But if you are not impressed by this spectacular entrance, you will definitely fall in love with Hungary as soon as we visit the Dome Hall. You have not visited the monument until you have gone up to this 100 metres high architectural treasure, enclosed by statues of the most acclaimed Magyars kings and the luxury crown jewels: the Holy Crown (well known as St. Stephen’s Crown), the sceptre, the orb and the Renaissance sword.
In addition, if you book our Budapest Parliament Tour, you will have the chance to explore the Old Upper House Hall, which used to be the old Parliament. This is not in use nowadays, as the parliamentary sessions take place in the Council of Deputies.
