This Parliament building must be quite the place to actually work in. gold, gold and more gold. We took the45 minute tour which was very informative. YOU CANNOT PURCHASE TICKETS A DAY IN ADVANCE, SO YOU NEED TO GET THERE BY 8 am ON THE DAY YOU WANT TO VISIT. TICKETS SELL OUT FAST! A Budapest visit must. More

We went to get tickets at 11 am andp were told to comeback the next day. When we returned at 9am we had the choice of just 5 or 6 pm. The tour was very worthwhile, free to EU citizens. Beautiful gothic building with impressive stairways and interior. More

The Parliament building is worth to be seen, even if the tour is very short (40 mins?) and covering only a small wing of the whole palace. The English guides are a little boring and not entertaining. It would've been great to have a quiet walk instead of a rush with the group. It was great to see the old... More
