Great views of the Pest side of Budapest. Architecture is beautiful white gothic. Singular black spire and resting crow look over you as you walk around. There are many tour options, but there are limitations for those who have physical limits, but you will still have great views and photos.

The best spot in Budapest to see the Parliament from across the river. The lower terraces are free and honestly give you the same view, no real need to pay for the upper towers. Go early morning or late afternoon; around midday it’s packed and getting a clean photo is impossible. Matthias Church is right next door, so plan them together.

Great views. One of the best spots to take a photo of the parliament buildings with the river. If you want to access the second level you need to purchase tickets but in my opinion if you are there early enough the first level has amazing views for the first level anyway.

A stunning sunset watching spot and the walk up wasn’t too long or steep which was great. Recommend getting there early to secure a nice spot to just sit and chill otherwise you’ll be battling to see anything (depends on the day)

Incredible views and stunning architecture. If you walk up the hill, it is tough with all the steps but you'll be rewarded with the view. You can also take a bus. The upper level is free until 9. I recommend going early to beat crowds, especially the vain, inconsiderate, social media people who block walkways for others in their effort to get the perfect picture for their followers. There seem to be less when you go early so if you want to appreciate the setting in peace, it is worth the early wakeup.
