Budapest - or rather just Pest and Parliament

As part of the tour I took there was a trip to Parliament which includes a guided tour of the interior. This very notable building is done in the gothic revival style. The dome, much like that of Stephen's Basilica, is 96m high - this was done to recognize the conquest of the Kingdom of Hungary in 896 and then the nation's millennium in 1896. The building was also inaugurated in 1896 though only completed in 1904.

The Hungarian system was originally bicameral so has some similarities in its look to the Canadian and other similar systems, though today is only unicameral. Though the interior is much more ornate.

Parliament sits on Lajos Kossuth Square which hosts a few statues and other buildings which were not part of the tour so not sure what they are :)

This one is actually still Parliament
