An absolutely magnificent and perfectly organized tour. The Hungarian Parliament Building is even more impressive in person than in photos. The architecture, the details, the halls, and the atmosphere of the place are truly breathtaking. The organization is excellent: upon arrival, the meeting point is clearly marked, ID checks are quick and smooth, and everything runs perfectly according to schedule. The audio guide is very well designed, clear, and interesting, allowing you to fully enjoy the tour without ever getting bored. The welcome is very warm, and everything is designed to ensure the tour goes as smoothly as possible. We particularly appreciated the site’s rich history as well as the beauty of the various rooms, each more impressive than the last. A must-see in Budapest, and one we’ll cherish as a wonderful memory.

I was a little worried because the confirmation form isn’t the same as having the tickets, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email the day before explaining everything I needed to do, where I needed to go—complete with directions—and that two Headout representatives would hand us the tickets at the meeting point. The two guys were quick and efficient, and they even gave us a set of instructions for the tour. I’m completely satisfied!

We thought the Capitol building was simply amazing and impressive. The admission process is a bit unusual. You have to hand over your ID for a short time for registration. But in our opinion, that’s appropriate since it’s an official government building.

This was a very organized way to enter a heavily guarded and rule laden site. The tour guides were very organized in getting us in but then did nothing for the group after entry. I suppose if we had gotten our own tickets we didn't need a tour company to see the Parliament.

Aside from the Parliament, which is absolutely stunning, the guides arrived on time and were ready to assist us if needed, since they accompanied us inside. I’m very satisfied, since this is the first time I’ve used Headout… I highly recommend it

It was great, well-organized, and the welcome was excellent; the guide spoke to everyone in their own language. The tour was fantastic, and the audio was very clear and interesting. A beautiful building, well-maintained. It was a fantastic visit

The view of the parliament building takes your breath away—it’s spectacular. As for the interior, it looks like a royal palace, but I think the best part was the changing of the guard—it was impressive!

The tour of Parliament was wonderful. It was truly a hands-on experience. Everything was extremely well-organized, both in terms of entry procedures and the tour inside. I wasn't as interested in the thermal baths, since the only part worth visiting is the outdoor pool, which is packed with people because the indoor area is closed. The indoor pools are small and don't look very clean.

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.
