The official website reservation was sold out four days in advance, and the ticket I got later through Ctrip could not choose the time period. As an important landmark of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is definitely a must-see landmark. Some of it is still used for official business, and most of it is for tourism. The whole process took one hour. The staff generally had average English. If you are late for more than ten minutes, the ticket will be invalid. It is important to remind you that the electronic ticket cannot be used directly and must be printed on paper. You can ask the hotel front desk for assistance.
The Hungarian Parliament Building is an iconic architectural masterpiece, located on the banks of the Danube River in the heart of Budapest. As one of the largest parliamentary buildings in the world, it features a striking neo-Gothic style, complete with intricate details, spires, and a stunning dome. The building’s grandeur and intricate design make it one of the most recognizable structures in Budapest.
The Hungarian Parliament Building is definitely a highlight of Budapest and is worth a visit. The exterior is stunning, especially its Gothic architectural style, huge dome and exquisite carving details are impressive. When the lights are on at night, it creates the magnificent Budapest in my impression. It is very good to take photos across the Danube!
The Hungarian Parliament Building is too magnificent and beautiful. No wonder she was built in Hungary during the most glorious period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You know, Hungary was also called the Empire. Although it was defeated by Austria at that time, it forced Austria to give it half of the Empire's name. The Austrian-Hungarian Empire participated in partitioning Poland several times, so Hungary is also one of Poland's most hated countries. It is said that the building has been built for 17 years and is extremely luxurious. There are three ways to view the Capitol Building: 1. On the Danube River cruise ship, look at the Capitol Building from the river. With ships sailing on the Danube River, we can see the magnificence of the Capitol from many angles. Only by this way can we show the magnificence of the Capitol. Should be in the afternoon near the evening, so that the best sunshine. 2. Watch behind the Parliament Building in Perth District. The Capitol Square is also quite spacious and can take a panoramic view of the Capitol. It's better to go in the morning. It's sunny and less crowded. 3. Viewing the Capitol from Castle Hill in Buda District, especially at Fisherman's Castle, has a unique view. It should also be in the afternoon.
The Hungarian Parliament Building is the seat of the Hungarian Parliament, one of the ancient legislative buildings in Europe, and an important landmark of Budapest. The environment around the Capitol is beautiful, and the architectural sculptures are good. It's the time when Lavender blossoms. Both kinds of lavender near the Capitol are in full bloom. Beautiful. Actually, the side of the Capitol facing the Danube River is magnificent. We didn't go there. We watched it on Gubao Hill.
A majestic building with guards at the entrance. It was very windy and a bit cold in the square. Take bus No. 2 (yellow) at the Danube River for 3 stops to the entrance. A one-way ticket to Budapest costs 350Ft, and you can't take the subway. (We bought a 24-hour pass that can be used for subway, bus, and tram. A 50% discount is available for 4 people. Also, please note that the ticket vending machine at KeletipályaudvarTrainStation subway station can select the Chinese version)
The Hungarian Parliament Building is the highest representative of architectural art in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Huge volume plus Gothic style facade decoration, majestic, full of air. The interior is more brilliant, the blend of power and rights through the building has been perfectly reflected. The crown and scepter of Ishtwan, Hungary's national treasure, are also collected here. Visitors must enter the interior in batches with the commentators, and can not walk around at will. You can either make an appointment or sign up at the door.
