Fact

The Hungarian Parliament was built over 17 years (1885–1902) based on the design of architect Imre Steindl. The project was commissioned with the express intention to use Hungarian materials, involve Hungarian craftsmen and manufacturers, and use the flora of the Carpathian Basin as the inspiration for the decorative elements. The city’s iconic building has been a World Heritage Site since 2011, together with the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, and Andrássy Avenue. The House of Parliament is home to Hungary’s legislative body and the Holy Crown, as well as the workplace of 199 MPs and their support staff of 741 people, according to its website.

The study shows that the Hungarian Parliament Building scores 7.34 out of 10, with the researchers noting that 93.4 percent of its Tripadvisor reviews are ‘very good’ or ‘excellent,’ and the building has been viewed on TikTok an incredible 887million times – and counting.
