Hungarian Parliament Opening Hours | Timings and Visiting Hours
The Hungarian Parliament welcomes visitors during the hours shown in its daily schedule. From November 1 to March 31, the listed hours are 08:00 to 16:00 every day. Check the Timings for your visit date before you go.
Weekdays are usually quieter, so visit then if you prefer fewer people. Saturdays and Sundays tend to be busier, with longer queues and more activity in the surrounding area.
Visiting during peak or low season
Budapest's peak tourist season runs from June to August. The weather is warm and pleasant, but accommodation and attractions cost more, and landmarks draw larger crowds. The low season generally runs from November to February. It is colder, but there are fewer tourists. Budapest also has its own appeal in winter.
How much time is needed to explore the Hungarian Parliament?
Set aside at least 45 minutes to an hour for your visit. This gives you time to see the building's architecture and learn about its history without rushing.
Allow extra time to view the Parliament from outside, especially in the evening, when it is illuminated beside the Danube River. Many people consider the Budapest Parliament at night one of the most beautiful sights they have seen.
A Hungarian Parliament combo ticket that includes a nighttime Danube river cruise lets you see the illuminated building from a different perspective.
Visitors can usually enter every day, though hours vary by season and scheduled events. General Budapest Parliament hours are: -January to March: 8am - 4pm -April to October: 8am - 6pm -November to December: 8am - 4pm
