Budapest, Hungary’s capital city, has some of the most beautiful buildings in Europe. A reflection of the country’s rich and varied history and that of the peoples who have lived – and ruled – there. Baroque buildings from the time of Queen Maria Theresa are the dominant force, but classicism, romanticism, and historicism are woven into the story of Hungary.

The Hungarian Parliament Building, also known as the Parliament of Budapest after its location, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary. Beautiful inside equally beautiful at night viewed from the River Danube.

The Vajdahunyad Castle, one of the romantic castles in Budapest, Hungary, located in the City Park by the boating lake / skating rink. The castle, despite all appearances, was built in 1896, and is in fact a fantasy pastiche showcasing the architectural evolution through centuries and styles in Hungary. The castle is the home of several festivals, concerts and the exhibitions of the Hungarian Agricultural Museum.
