Description
It's hard to pick my favorite place to photograph the Hungarian Parliament building, especially at night! It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sights in Budapest, sitting on the Pest side of the Danube River. In December, the sun sets right before 4 pm so you can do all your night photography before happy hour! You can tell that it is still rush hour from the cars whizzing by on the waterfront. We are up near Buda Castle enjoying the panorama of the UNESCO World Heritage waterfront that is Budapest. You can even see the Christmas tree decorating the square to the right of the building. The Hungarian Parliament Building is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies in Lajos Kossuth Square, on the east bank of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and still the tallest building in Budapest. The Parliament Building is in the Gothic Revival style; it has a symmetrical facade and a central dome. The dome is Renaissance Revival architecture. It is 268 m (879 ft) long and 123 m (404 ft) wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms (including more than 200 offices). With its height of 96 m (315 ft), it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest, along with Saint Stephen's Basilica. The number 96 refers to the nation's millennium, 1896, and the conquest of the later Kingdom of Hungary in 896.
