"Big"
doesn't begin to describe just how big this building
is. It's more than nine-hundred feet long and 500
feet wide. It's so big that the concrete foundation
is seven feet deep. From the outside, you can see
24 towers, and dozens of statues surrounding its enormous
dome. Because so many other large buildings are right
across the street from it, the best place to view
the Országház from is actually across the river where
you can see it in context, reflecting on the Danube.
Inside there is another one of Budapest's great collections
of art, but individual tourists are not allowed in;
you have to be part of a group.
