Save 5% with this combo and enjoy guided tours of Budapest’s Hungarian Parliament and State Opera House, including multilingual audio options.
Getting started
Begin at the main entrance of either venue; your ticket is validated on arrival. At the Parliament, receive your audio guide and headphones or meet your guide for a brief introduction and security check. At the Opera House, meet your guide for a quick ticket check and an overview of the building’s history before your group tour begins.
Visit the Hungarian Parliament
Explore Hungary’s political heart on a 45-minute guided or audio-guided tour of the Hungarian Parliament, one of the largest and most impressive parliament buildings in the world. Completed in 1904, this Neo-Gothic landmark dominates the Danube skyline and remains a powerful symbol of Hungarian identity and statehood.
Inside the Parliament’s grand interiors
Follow a carefully designed route through the Parliament’s most significant ceremonial spaces. Walk up the richly decorated Main Staircase, admire the Dome Hall where the Hungarian Holy Crown is displayed beneath a gold-adorned ceiling, and pass through the Chamber of Peers and Grand Stairway, once used for historic legislative sessions.
Step inside the Hungarian State Opera House
Continue your cultural journey at Hungary’s first purpose-built opera venue, opened in 1884 and designed by renowned architect Miklós Ybl. The Hungarian State Opera House is celebrated for its Neo-Renaissance design and its role in hosting world premieres and legendary performers.
Art, architecture, & musical heritage
On a guided interior tour, explore the Opera House’s most impressive public spaces, including the Grand Auditorium when accessible, the elegant foyers, and the iconic Grand Staircase. Look up to admire 'The Apotheosis of Music', Hungary’s largest secco by Károly Lotz, and discover artistic details that reflect the ambition and craftsmanship of the 19th century, alongside modern restorations that preserve comfort and acoustics.
This thoughtfully paired experience saves you time and money by combining two of Budapest’s most important landmarks into one seamless booking, offering expert insight, multilingual support, and greater value than visiting each site separately.
