The Hungarian Parliament Building is a breathtaking symbol of Budapest, designed by Imre Steindl and completed in 1904. Its symmetrical façade, pointed spires, and ornate halls reflect Gothic Revival grandeur. Visitors can tour the main staircase, the old Upper House, and the Hungarian Crown Jewels, including the Holy Crown, on guided visits. The building is especially photogenic at night when illuminated.
