House of Hungarian Art Nouveau

Pieces of furniture, decorations, paintings… Art Nouveau has never been as well shown than in this House. The outside, indoor as well as the little cafe on its first floor are furnished in this unique Hungarian style!
The building is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary and can’t be missed. Located in Kossuth Square and close to the Danube, the Parliament is the largest building in the country! Built-in a Gothic Revival and Renaissance Revival architecture styles, you will enjoy its outside look made of a beautiful façade and a central dome. Glass mosaics made by Miksa Róth and 242 sculptures on the walls will astonish you with their wonders.
Szechenyi Lanchid

At the time of its construction in the 19th century, the bridge was known as one of the modern world’s engineering wonders and had a lot of impact on the country’s life.
Zero Kilometre Stone
This limestone of 3 meters high is a significant sculpture of Budapest. It marks the main point where all roads start from Budapest and go all over the country. You will find the inscription « KM » for kilometres at the bottom of this strange zero-shaped sculpture.
Matthias Church is also called the Church of the Assumption of the Buda Castle. A long name that is rarely spoken. It is a Roman Catholic Church located in the Holy Trinity Square, right in front of the Fisherman’s Bastion.
