In Budapest you can find many thermal bathes, which makes this one is my favorite that it has a special pool, which you can find on the rooftop. This bath has the most beautiful view, on one side you can see the mountain and on the other side the landscape of Budapest, since it is just next to the Danube its also offer an amazing night view the bridges and the lights. Just a tip if you want to visit at winter time prepare with flip flops and be aware of that when you exit the thermal water on the rooftop its quite cold till you enter the building again :)

Városnézés
It is a must see place in Budapest. The building is breathtaking both inside and outside, but if you travel just for a few days i would recommend just to take a walk there and enjoy the view and don't wait for hours to go in. Also a little tip: you can have an amazing view about the whole building from the Buda side (the other side of the Danube) or from boat cruises.
The Hungarian Parliament Building (Hungarian: Országház, pronounced [ˈorsaːghaːz], which
translates to House of the Country or House of the Nation), also known as 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. Budapest was united from
three cities in 1873, namely Buda, Óbuda, and Pest. Seven years later the Diet resolved to
establish a new, representative parliament building, expressing the sovereignty of the nation.

If you want to get the best view from the whole city this is your spot. Well you need to climb the Gellért hill for that but it worth the effort. This is the highest point in the city, which allows you a spectacular view, an advised if you are walking from the bottom of the hill wear appropriate footwear it is a decent hike, but you can find some secret spots and small park areas with benches where you can take a rest if you fill like or just to take a few photos.
