This building, headquarters for the Hungarian National Opera, is one of the symbols of the Hungarian capital. No doubt its dimensions are not quite as impressive as those of Opera Houses that can be seen in other countries. But this apparent modesty is well matched by the magnificence and luxury of its interior decoration. The huge chandeliers, the ceiling of the concert hall decorated with magnificent frescoes, the marble columns of the entrance foyer, the murals, and then the majesty of the central staircase, are all breathtaking...

Stop At: Országház, látogatóközpont, Budapest, 1055 Hungary

Two huge stone lions stand guard at its entrance. The Parliament building is undoubtedly the most famous architectural ensemble of the city, and it is the grandest building in the country, its symbol of sorts. Its history begins in the second half of the nineteenth century.
