This is my favourite architecture of Budapest. It is my love, love, love!
The features of this architecture is that, it is similar to the Palace of Westminster in UK. It was built in Gothic Revival style and has a symmetrical facade and a central dome.
It is 268 m (879 ft) long and 123 m (404 ft) wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms (including more than 200 offices). With its height of 96 m (315 ft), it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest, along with Saint Stephen's Basilica.
The main façade faces the River Danube, but the official main entrance is from the square in front of the building. Inside and outside, there are altogether 242 sculptures on the walls. Coming all the way from Singapore or Asia, I really think you must see it in real. It has a different mood in different seasons. You can be sure I will mention about it again :)
