Best time to visit
Early morning weekday tours avoid crowds and long security lines; late afternoon gives warm light for external photos.

Guided tour tickets cost roughly 5,000–6,500 HUF for adults with lower rates for students and seniors, buy timed tickets on the official site in advance to avoid sellouts and extra fees; Budapest Card normally does not cover the interior tour so budget separately.

About
Hitre informacije: Step close and you'll notice the opulent interior hides an astonishing 691 rooms, with a central hall crowned by a 96-metre dome that dominates the skyline. Inside, visitors encounter the Holy Crown of Hungary displayed beneath that dome, a tiny but potent symbol amid soaring marble, carved statues, and glittering gold leaf.
Vrhunci: Behind the central glass display the Holy Crown of St. Stephen sits under soft gilt and spotlights, its enamel and precious stones catching the riverlight like a tiny sun, a relic spirited out after World War II and not returned until 1978. Towering above, a 96-meter dome crowns a labyrinth of 691 rooms, and after dark the Neo-Gothic spires and red roof tiles are bathed in amber lights so the whole façade resembles a lit honeycomb.
