Description

This isn't just "old jewelry." The Holy Crown of Hungary has a history more dramatic than a Netflix series—it’s been stolen, buried, lost, and returned by the U.S. government. You will stand in the massive, 27-meter-high Dome Hall, watched over by stoic guards with drawn sabers, to see the crown and its tilted cross up close. It’s the symbolic heart of the nation. You’ll ascend the Grand Stairway, a space so opulent it makes most European palaces look like a DIY renovation. Imagine walking past massive granite columns—of which only 12 exist in the entire world—under ceilings painted by Károly Lotz. Every inch of the walls is covered in gold leaf and intricate frescoes that tell the story of a thousand-year-old kingdom. f you are between 6-24 and have a valid Student Card you can choose the Youth tickets type

Itinerary

Admission included45 min

Booking a tour of the Hungarian Parliament isn't just a building walk-through; it’s a deep dive into the "Golden Age" of Budapest. As one of the largest and most expensive legislative buildings in the world (housing roughly 40kg of 22-carat gold), the experience is designed to be as grand as the history it holds. If you are between 6-24 and have a valid Student Card you can choose the Youth tickets type

Better value by booking on the official website

Parliament House is definitely worth seeing. It is a magnificent building. The audio tour was informative. However, the cost at over $100 per head was excessive for a tour which only lasted around 45 minutes. We were also unimpressed to arrive at the appointed time and being kept waiting on a hot day for the tour organiser to arrive. We felt that this was an example of demand pricing for a popular tourist attraction. Try booking directly on the official website but book well ahead.

Please be careful when picking up your tickets

I can't give you a very good review. I booked for a 9:30 tour. The e-mail message says, "Please arrive 30 minutes before the tour starts ... and the hostess will be waiting with a board with a name that is easy to find." But when I went 30 minutes before, there was no one there. A couple of those hostesses came, but they weren't TripAdvisor people. It wasn't until 15 minutes ago that another would-be hostess arrived. The A4 plate I had was nowhere with the word "Torippadvisor" on it, so I checked it here and finally found out. The tour time was running out and I was really in a hurry. It was only after 40 minutes that we were surprised again to be handed the tickets, and the tour was 9:45 in time. Of course the tour was great, but I can't appreciate the way the hostesses handled everything, including their attitude, leading up to the entrance.

A Hungarian must visit

Viator made the experience very easy. Good communication, easy meeting place and guides took care of getting the physical tickets. The tour itself is very interesting and the Parliament building an important, beautiful building to visit.
