The Hungarian Parliament Building, also known as the Parliament of Budapest for being located in that city, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies in Lajos Kossuth Square, on the bank of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and still the tallest building in Budapest.
Our cruise ship docked here, giving us this amazing view of this amazing building. Built—like almost everything else—in 1896 to celebrate the 1000 year anniversary of Budapest, it housed the Parliament of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and is now much bigger than Hungary needs.
Honestly, I had vastly more time and got many more and better photos on the previous visit:

I’ll mostly aim to post non-redundant photos. Mostly.
This area of about 2,000 hectares is protected by the Ramsar Convention as an extremely important habitat for aquatic birds. Currently are 10 ponds. In this image you can see the birds inhabiting the site. Hortobágy National Park Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park

the Parliament of Budapest after its location, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary, and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated on Kossuth Square in the city's Pest side, on the Danube's eastern bank. It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902. It has been the largest building in Hungary since its completion. The gothic Vienna City Hall influenced the architectural style of the Hungarian parliament building, and the Maria vom Siege church influenced the renaissance elements like the cupola in Vienna.
