Things to know before booking your Hungarian Parliament tickets

  • If you're up for some solo exploration, you can opt for the audio-guided tour of the Hungarian Parliament. It is available in 23 languages, so you won't miss a beat. Or, if you're feeling like diving deeper into the parliament's backstory, go on a guided tour to get the lowdown on its history and significance straight from a local pro.
  • Get ahead of the game by booking skip-the-line tickets for the Hungarian Parliament building. Instead of wasting precious time standing in endless queues, these tickets let you breeze past all that hassle and head straight to the entrance. Typically, they can save you a good 30 minutes to an hour, maybe even more.
  • The Budapest Parliament is lit by countless lights at night, giving it a magical glow. You should totally check it out after dark! Opt for a combo tour to explore the parliament from the inside and enjoy a charming Danube river cruise later, offering a one-of-a-kind view of the Hungarian Parliament under the stars.
  • If you want to relax after all the sightseeing, opt for combo packages that pamper you with visits to the rejuvenating Szechenyi or Gellert baths. Nothing beats soaking in healing thermal waters after a day of exploration.  
  • The Hungarian Parliament is accessible to all visitors, including wheelchair users. The building has elevators and ramps to ensure that everyone can access it.

Hungarian Parliament highlights

Hungarian Parliament Golden Staircase

The City Side Staircase XVII

The Hungarian Parliament tour begins with the City Side Staircase XVII or the Golden Staircase, which leads to the main floor. It's quite the sight – think gold-plated accents, stunning stained glass windows, lively frescoes, grand statues, and paintings lining the walls. You'll also catch glimpses of the bustling Kossuth Square outside as you climb the staircase.

hungarian parliament tours

The Grand Stairway

The Grand Stairway, with 96 steps covered in a gorgeous red carpet, connects the main entrance to the Dome Hall. Its ceiling is adorned with two large frescoes by renowned painter Károly Lotz, while the windows on both sides have ornate stained glass artwork by Miksa Róth. And don't forget the eight 4-ton granite columns! Fun fact: there are only 12 of these in the entire world.

hungarian parliament tours

The Dome Hall

The Hungarian Parliament's striking dome, standing at 96 meters tall, commemorates Hungary's settlement in 896 AD. This hall has been home to the Hungarian Holy Crown and Coronation Insignia since 2000. It features a rib vaulted dome, vibrant stained glass windows, and statues of Hungarian monarchs showcased on golden pedestals.

hungarian parliament tours

The Chamber of Peers

Back in the day, from 1867 to 1918 and again from 1927 to 1945, The Chamber of Peers, also known as the Old Upper House Chamber or House of Magnates, was the hotspot for Hungary's Upper House of the Diet, their governing body. It boasts horseshoe-shaped seating, lavish gold-plated decorations, and stunning paintings showcasing the coats of arms of Hungary's royal families. It's still in use for hosting conferences and meetings.
