Hungarian Parliament is a must see of the city od Budapest. The audio tour is well organizaed and lasts enough time to see the most important places inside the building. The experience with Headput was very positive and it was very east to get the tickets following the clear instructions and reminders provided. It is definately recommended.

We followed a guard with the audio guide for the French translation. The text gives all the details of the rooms we pass through, but is concise enough not to lose the viewer. From the staircase to the press room, where all the trades are represented thanks to the statuettes that adorn the top of the walls, from the corridors to the hemicycle room where the European representatives sit, the Parliament is Hungary's real treasure.

This Parliament is so magnificent, inside and out. It's brimming with history, which we discover during the tour with the audioguides. I just find that the tour is rather short: we only see part of the 4th floor, and it lasts 30 minutes if you take out the time spent with security, audioguide distribution and so on. So I was a bit disappointed, but it's worth doing! The Headout organization is a bit scary, because you have to find someone on the spot, give your ID and then get your ticket, but everything went smoothly - we were a whole group! It's not a scam at all!

Attraction not entirely.... attractive. Being a government palace, the visit is very limited, to only the "lower chamber" with explanation via audio of how the work is done, the crown room (where no photos or video can be taken) and another room where there are statues of the most important people in Hungarian history. End.

Good attention from the guide, although when we arrived she did not have an eye-catching badge and I went to ask at the ticket office giving us the wrong information, making me nervous, as time was running out to present the ID cards. The page was completely reliable to get the tickets, but go with time, as there is strict control. Group of 16 people from La Rioja.

Great! Got there earlier than our actual timing, so we changed and just hopped on to an ealier cruise and they let us. Worth your money and time! Definitely should take this on the first day of your tour/visit in Budapest. Entry to the boat was easy and smooth. I think both day and night cruise are great!

It was a beautiful experience. The illuminated Parliament is spectacular. On the boat, unfortunately, there was not all the free space on the open-air roof, only half of it, so not everyone could look out over the river or take pictures without the presence of other people. However, the monuments could still be seen well

Beautiful cruise on the Danube taken at 7 p.m. on March 8 when it was already dark so you could see the illuminations of the major sites in Budapest, from Freedom Bridge to the Parliament. Great atmosphere xbecause the lights off give way to photograph the sites without the reflections. Great bar on board for a drink

The reservation with Headout was no problem. We went in and everything we booked was included. Széchenyi Spa was a disappointment. Too many people and the outside pools were separated by a tarp (perhaps construction work) which made it look bad. I regret having opted for this spa. I am sure any other in Budapest would have been a more pleasant experience. I will be back

Amazing place - I've not been to a thermal bath before and this was a great experience. It was being refurbished so one of the pools was currently closed. Perhaps at £30 for basic entry a little expensive but you could stay all day. If you want to Would recommend a visit.

A great day out and once in a lifetime experience, however the main pool is closed for refurbishment (as you can see on the right of the photograph, there was scaffolding all round it) which we had not been told about. We would've chosen a different experience had we known. Was a bit disappointing.

I just find that the tour is rather short: we only see part of the 4th floor, and it lasts 30 minutes if you take out the time spent with security, audioguide distribution and so on. So I was a bit disappointed, but it's worth doing! The Headout organization is a bit scary, because you have to find someone on the spot, give your ID and then get your ticket, but everything went smoothly - we were a whole group! It's not a scam at all!

Attraction not entirely.... attractive. Being a government palace, the visit is very limited, to only the "lower chamber" with explanation via audio of how the work is done, the crown room (where no photos or video can be taken) and another room where there are statues of the most important people in Hungarian history. End.

The visit to the Parliament Building was amazing with so many beautiful things to see and very informative. The Szechenyi spa was a good experience. Disappointed that the main pool is currently closed whilst building work is going on. We had no warning of this.

Good attention from the guide, although when we arrived she did not have an eye-catching badge and I went to ask at the ticket office giving us the wrong information, making me nervous, as time was running out to present the ID cards. The page was completely reliable to get the tickets, but go with time, as there is strict control. Group of 16 people from La Rioja.

The line for the parliament was a bit too long and tedious- we had to wait outside in the sweltering heat ( when there was plenty of room inside) - the baths were OK - pity no one mentioned that one big pool was closed for renovations

It was very efficiently handled if a little officious but understandable with so many tourists going through. The building was amazing and so well maintained. The audio guide was okay but could put in a few more interesting or humorous stories about it's use over the centuries

Hungarian Parliament highlights
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.
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.
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.
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.
Statues & figurines
The facade and the interiors of the Hungarian Parliament building are adorned with around 250 statues and figurines. These commemorate pivotal people from Hungarian history, including rulers, political leaders, historical figures, cultural icons, and military figures. Created by various artists, these sculptures contribute to the building's ambiance, showcasing the nation's legacy and providing a tangible link to Hungary's past.
The Chamber of Peers Lounge
The Chamber of Peers Lounge is a large opulent room and, like most of the other significant areas inside Hungarian Parliament, is decorated with gold gilded ceilings and ornate paintings. The most distinctive feature of the room is the turquoise hand-knotted floor carpet. It is the largest hand-knotted carpet in Europe.
Magnificent frescoes
The Hungarian Parliament building is adorned with several large frescoes painted by renowned artists like Károly Lotz and Mór Than. These artworks depict historical moments and allegorical scenes from Hungary's history, culture, and mythology, including King Saint Stephen's coronation, the arrival of the Magyars in Hungary, and the Battle of Mohács.
Stained glass artworks
You will see windows with some of the most exquisite stained glass artworks and glass mosaics in the world. These were created by renowned Hungarian artist Miksa Roth in the late 19th and early 20th century. Roth's vibrant colors and intricate designs add an enduring vitality to the building's architecture while narrating stories of Hungary's cultural heritage.
The Hungarian Crown
The Hungarian Crown, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, is one of Hungary’s most sacred national symbols. Dating back to the 11th century, it was used to coronate nearly every Hungarian king. Distinctive for its tilted cross and Byzantine-style enamel panels, the crown represents Hungary’s medieval Christian heritage and royal authority.
