Over a hundred years old, the Hungarian Parliament building continues to stand tall and proud

After having presented your skip-the-line ticket at the ticket office and concluding your security check, you will be guided to the main staircase, the magnificent place of confluence of several staircases with red carpeting, lighting by lampposts and statues overlooking the space.

Following this, you will make your way to the Dome Hall with its geometric ceiling and windows, where the Crown Jewels, which were returned to Hungary only a few decades ago by the United States, are housed. Your guide will then lead you to the Old Upper House Hall, also known as the House of Magnates. This hall is almost cathedral-like in architecture and appearance with its arches, vaults, and pillars and it is no surprise that so many important decisions are left to be decided here!
