What hungarian parliament does

HungarianParliament.com is a privately held tour agency (operated by Budapest Tickets Ltd., a UK private limited company registered in Cambridge) that books and resells guided tours of the Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest. Founded in 2012, the firm targets international tourists visiting Budapest — both EU/EEA citizens (eligible for 50% ticket discounts and 75% student discounts) and non-EU visitors — with a product portfolio built around the 45-minute official Parliament Tour plus a set of bundled add-ons including Danube cruises (lunch, dinner, wine tasting), city bus tours, and specialty language experiences.

The core product accesses a physically constrained tourist asset: the Hungarian Parliament is the world's 3rd largest parliament building, a UNESCO-recognized Neo-Gothic landmark designed by Imre Steindl featuring a 96-meter dome and housing the Holy Crown of Hungary. Tours are available in 8 languages (Hungarian, English, French, Hebrew, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish) and capacity is structurally limited — English tours are frequently booked weeks in advance. The operator supplements the physical tour with a free cross-platform mobile application (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) providing multimedia content and direct ticket purchasing, and supports self-guided visits via digital entry tickets with audio guides.

Revenue is generated on a per-ticket unit-pricing basis (HUF 7,000–14,000 for core tours; €33–€69 for bundled packages) distributed through three channel layers: direct official ticketing via Jegymester.hu, third-party reselling via GetYourGuide (for audio and Spanish-language tours), and bundled packages via Budapest River Cruise. On-site ticket sales at the Parliament Visitor Centre at Gate XII handle residual demand. Pricing is tiered by citizenship status, age, and family composition, with EU citizens and students entitled to statutory discounts; group and specialty tours (hotel pickup, photography, additional languages) command premium pricing.
