The Houses of Parliament in Budapest is one of the most impressive buildings in the world. The Parliament has 10 courtyards, 13 elevators, 27 entrances, 29 staircases and 691 rooms.
You cannot visit all of this, but you can visit the most important parts of the parliament, such as the main staircase, the domehall with the Stephen”s Crown and the assembly hall.
The number of participants in the guided tours is limited, so it is not always easy to get tickets for the tour of the Parliament. Since January 1st, 2013 there has been a new possibility to buy tickets. You must register with your email address, as you will be notified by email if the tour is canceled due to an event. In this case you can choose a new date, or you will get the ticket price back.
