Though filled with treasures and a crisp changing of the guard ceremony, our guide was hard to hear unless you were a few yards from her. She had the most heavily accented English of any guide in Budapest--one in every five words was decipherable. We went there because the DK guidebook said it was the number #1 sight in Budapest...

We went to see this place and it was shame that we could not get near it as they are doing building work on it and have fences surrounding it and work men everywhere. If you go on a cruise down the river though then you can see the other side of it which does look beautiful. Its just a... More

I have traveled around the world and would only put Taj Mahal along with the Parliament building in Budapest. Set along the Danube, this stunningly complex, white stone, and deep red roofed building, glistens both during the day and at night when it is lit up spectacularly. The best places to take in the beauty of the parliament are, due... More

Was quite a quick tour, about 45 mins, but bear in mind part of that is getting through security. Tickets are purchased in the museum of ethnography while all the road works are being carried out. We arrived about 9am to purchase tickets and all the English tours were available apart from the 10am. You get to see one of... More

One thing that was odd was the line to get in. We had to circle all the way around a maze, when there was NO line of people waiting at... More

You wouldn't know it, but this beautiful building is the largest Parliament Building in the EU or in general, Europe. The architecture really shows the hundreds of years of influence between the Ottoman Empire, Romans, and other wonderful cultures that have lasted hundreds and hundreds of years. A definite must to see. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy...the traveler from Southern... More

The visit inside takes about 30min, not really enlightening but it gives a good impression on how the republic of Hungary works. The outside is magnificent.

it is truly worth visiting, the inside is really incredibly beautiful and amazing, lots of gold leave

There is a chaos in front of the building because of the construction work. We bought tickets online and came in advance (in fact, too early - it is enough to come, say, 10 minutes before your tour starts and find out where people with tickets are waiting). The 45-min. visit definitely worth money, the building is very impressive.
