Guided tour of Budapest + Parliament
Officially the Republic of Hungary is a parliamentary republic. Its legislature is the unicameral National Assembly, which has 386 representatives, elected for a period of four years.
It is said that the electoral system is one of the most complicated in Europe. Half of the representatives are elected in single-seat constituencies, half of them in party lists.
The Prime Minister is elected by majority vote of the members of parliament. The President of the Republic, elected for a period of five years, has a more ceremonial role. Technically, he is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces and appoints the Prime Minister. But, are you considering a guided tour of this place?
Guided tours
Guided visits to Parliament are available when the National Assembly is not in session. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and is worth the price. Walk the stairs and the lobby of the main entrance, one of the hallways, the old House of Lords and the jewels of the Hungarian crown.
Some of the best views of Parliament are from the Danube or from the other side of the river. Especially from Batthyány Square, which is just one metro stop from Kossuth Square on the M2 line. Looking at Parliament from a distance makes it easier to appreciate the beauty and harmony of the building.
