Hungarian Parliament Building Guided Tour
★4.7(9,800 verified GetYourGuide reviews)· 1 hour47 travellers viewed this in the last hour
The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most impressive structures in Europe, and stepping inside reveals an interior of almost overwhelming grandeur. This guided tour takes you through the most spectacular rooms of a building that required 40 million bricks, 40 kilograms of gold, and 17 years to complete. Your guide walks you up the Grand Staircase, where ceiling frescoes and golden columns surround you on every side, and into the Domed Hall where the Holy Crown of Hungary is displayed under permanent guard. Forged over 1,000 years ago, the crown is the most important symbol of Hungarian statehood and its journey through wars, thefts, and Cold War exile is one of the most remarkable stories you will hear on any tour in Europe. You will also see the Old Upper House Chamber, the ornate Cigar Room, and the hexadecagonal (16-sided) central hall. It is a masterclass in Gothic Revival architecture and Hungarian history.
