Budapest Parliament Tour | Budapest Hungary
Come along for a tour of one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Parliament in Budapest.

Hungarian Parliament Building - Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian Parliament Building is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated in Kossuth Square. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and It was designed by Hungarian architect, Imre Steindl, in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902.
Budapest was united from three cities in 1873, namely Buda, Óbuda, and Pest. Seven years later, the Diet of Hungary or originally: Parlamentum Publicum, resolved to establish a new, representative parliament building, expressing the sovereignty of the nation. The building was planned to face the river. An international competition was held, and Imre Steindl, emerged as the victor; the plans of two other competitors were later also realized in the form of the Ethnographic Museum and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, both facing the Parliament Building. Construction from the winning plan was started in 1885, and the building was inaugurated on the 1000th anniversary of the country in 1896. It was completed in 1904. About 100,000 people were involved in construction, during which 40 million bricks, half a million precious stones and 40 kilograms of gold were used. Since World War II the legislature became unicameral, and today the government uses only a small portion of the building.
The Parliament Building is built in the Gothic Revival style; it has a symmetrical façade and a central dome. The dome is Renaissance Revival architecture. The Parliament inside is also symmetrical and thus has two absolutely identical parliament halls of which one is used for politics, the other for guided tours. It is 268 m long and 123 m wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms. The main facade overlooks the River Danube, but the official main entrance is from the square on the east side of the building. Inside and outside, there are altogether 242 sculptures on the walls. The Holy Crown of Hungary, which is also depicted in the coat of arms of Hungary, has been displayed in the central hall since 2000.
Standing right in front of the Parliament is the statue of Grof Andráshi Gjula. The statue commemorates one of Hungary's most beloved politicians who served as the nation's prime minister between 1867 and 1871.
Prominently on display in the square is Francis II Rakóczi, leader of the Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs in the early 1700's. Although defeated in 1711 and forced to spend the rest of his life in exile, he is considered a national hero.
On the right side, there is the monument dedicated to former Hungarian Prime Minister Kossuth Lajos.
Being a traveler in Budapest, the Parliament building is one of city attractions, you must visit. Take your time, to admire beautiful architecture and history surrounding amazing Kossuth Square.

The Hungarian Parliament Buildings are part of the main Budapest UNESCO World Heritage site.
You'll also discover in this video shoes on the Danube Promenade Memorial.
The Hungarian Parliament Buildings (Orszaghaz) are some of the oldest in Europe and were built in the nineteenth century in a dramatic Gothic Revival style. Characterised by peaked towers, an ornate limestone facade and a spectacular dome, the Hungarian Parliament Buildings are reminiscent of the UK’s Houses of Parliament.
The architect of the Hungarian Parliament Buildings, Imre Steindl, was chosen following a competition to design them, but became ill in the course of their construction. In fact, by the time they were completed in 1904, he had become blind.
Today, the Hungarian Parliament Buildings are home to the National Assembly of Hungary as well as a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can enjoy the many works of art both inside and outside these incredible buildings, from frescoes and stained glass to the many statues scattered throughout.

Budapest Parliament Building - Tour Inside HUNGARY
We took a tour of the Hungarian Parliament Building. There are several languages available for the guided tour and they provide a handy and comfortable headset to hear the guide from a distance.
The fee was very small and totally worth it for the 45 minute tour.
I suggest to pre book tickets and not get them on the spot but that is also available.
There's a cafe inside the building right near the ticket booth so if your hungry before or after grab a snack or coffee but be prepared to pay higher prices.
Cameras are allowed though no flash photography.

Round Tour - Hungarian National Parliament House Budapest
Budapest’s Golden Assembly
Standing on the banks of the Danube River, the Hungarian Parliament Building is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. Commissioned in 1880, it took over 1,000 people and 24 years to build. Unless you know your way around, it’s easy to get lost in this massive structure, which features 10 courtyards and hundreds of offices linked by an endless array of corridors. Aside from being home to Hungary’s National Assembly, the building also houses the nation’s crown, worn by 50 rulers, dating back to the 12th century.

Hungarian Heritage - Roots to Revival
The Hungarian Heritage: Roots to Revival program demonstrates not only the diversity and authenticity of contemporary traditions in music, dance, arts and crafts, gastronomy, and family life, but also the significance of the Hungarian folk revival movement worldwide. Featuring highly skilled masters and apprentices from rural areas, as well as musicians, dancers, and artisans from more urban settings, the Festival program highlights the vitality of this culture, as well as the strength it derives from the reinterpretation of traditions.
For instance, the dance-house (or táncház) movement, which emerged in the early 1970s, has helped to reinvent the institution of the village dance in urban areas and to disseminate the practice of authentic folk dancing with live musical accompaniment. There are now dance enthusiasts in places as widespread as Argentina, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States, all of whom appreciate Hungarian dancing because of its technical and improvisational complexity.
Similarly, the preservation of traditional handicrafts has helped boost a flourishing crafts movement in Hungary today. Among the craftspeople represented at the Festival are master basket weavers and straw weavers, beaders, coppersmiths, embroiderers, furniture painters and woodcarvers, hat makers, instrument makers, leather workers and saddlers, painters, and thatchers.
The Hungarian Heritage program provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the rich traditions of the Magyar people, to understand the significance of the Hungarian folk revival movement, and to convene folk aficionados from around the world.
The Hungarian Heritage program is produced by the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage in partnership with the Balassi Institute, Budapest.

Eiffel Palace office building, Budapest, Hungary
Eiffel Palace - a Central Business District development of unique significance in historic preservation, urban planning, sustainability and general construction - officially opened its doors in Budapest on 20 March 2014. After 120 years, the former Pesti Hírlap and Zrínyi Nyomda building shines in its original beauty again, contributing to the rebirth of the Hungarian capital. One year after the stone laying ceremony of the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Road corner building organically combining 19th century elements of patina with modern technological solutions, we celebrated its grand opening thanks to the exceptional, coordinated professional performance of Horizon Development and DVM group. The 8-story downtown office building offers 14,500 sqm of total leasable space, with a current occupancy of 100%. Eiffel Palace houses the offices of PwC Hungary, Apple, CBRE, the Hungarian National Bank, Kővári Tercsák Dentons Europe, the British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary, the British Business Center, Eiffel Bistro, St. Andrea Wine & Gourmet Bar, Eiffel Beauty and the Wax in the City studio.
The building’s double environmental certificate (LEED Gold, BREEAM Very Good) is unique in Central and Eastern Europe. Features that contribute to the excellent energy and water efficiency of the building include solar collectors and photovoltaic panels, the use of harvested rainwater, built-in low-flow aerators, occupancy and motion sensors, energy-saving LED light fixtures, pre-programmable elevators and the vegetation on multiple roof terraces. Bicycle storages with lockers and showers are situated in the 5-story underground garage, and electric and hybrid car chargers are also located here. The adornment of the atrium is the vertical garden that complements the timeless harmony of whites, beiges and bronzes with its fresh shades of green, and links the ground floor with the first floor.
Besides the company’s apparent focus on environmental value creation, Horizon Development also put great emphasis on restoring historic values. It pays tribute to the heritage of Pesti Hírlap and Zrínyi Nyomda with its exhibition on the history of printing, and the display of original machinery in common areas.

Budapest:
The neo-Gothic Parliament, the biggest building in Hungary with its 268 metres (879 ft) length, containing amongst other things the Hungarian Crown Jewels. Saint Stephen's Basilica, where the Holy Right Hand of the founder of Hungary, King Saint Stephen is on display. The Hungarian cuisine and café culture: for example, Gerbeaud Café, and the Százéves, Biarritz, Fortuna, Alabárdos, Arany Szarvas, Kárpátia and the world-famous Mátyás Pince Restaurants. There are Roman remains at the Aquincum Museum, and historic furniture at the Nagytétény Castle Museum, just 2 out of 223 museums in Budapest. Another historical museum is the House of Terror, hosted in the building that was the venue of the Nazi Headquarters. The Castle Hill, the River Danube embankments and the whole of Andrássy út have been officially recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Castle Hill and the Castle District; there are three churches here, six museums, and a host of interesting buildings, streets and squares. The former Royal Palace is one of the symbols of Hungary – and has been the scene of battles and wars ever since the 13th century. Nowadays it houses two impressive museums and the National Széchenyi Library. The nearby Sándor Palace contains the offices and official residence of the President of Hungary. The seven-hundred-year-old Matthias Church is one of the jewels of Budapest, it is in neo-Gothic style, decorated with coloured shingles and elegant pinnacles. Next to it is an equestrian statue of the first king of Hungary, King Saint Stephen, and behind that is the Fisherman's Bastion, built in 1905 by the architect Frigyes Schulek, the Fishermen's Bastions owes its name to the namesake corporation that during the Middle Ages was responsible of the defence of this part of ramparts, from where opens out a panoramic view of the whole city. Statues of the Turul, the mythical guardian bird of Hungary, can be found in both the Castle District and the Twelfth District.
In Pest, arguably the most important sight is Andrássy út. This Avenue is an elegant 2.5 kilometres (2 miles) long tree-lined street that covers the distance from Deák Ferenc tér to the Heroes Square. On this Avenue overlook many important sites. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As far as Kodály körönd and Oktogon both sides are lined with large shops and flats built close together. Between there and Heroes' Square the houses are detached and altogether grander. Under the whole runs continental Europe's oldest Underground railway, most of whose stations retain their original appearance. Heroes' Square is dominated by the Millenary Monument, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front. To the sides are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Kunsthalle Budapest, and behind City Park opens out, with Vajdahunyad Castle. One of the jewels of Andrássy út is the Hungarian State Opera House. Statue Park, a theme park with striking statues of the Communist era, is located just outside the main city and is accessible by public transport.
