Poor Steindl.
He built perhaps the most beautiful building in the world, but he couldn't see his masterpiece.
He only got a bust, and it's inside the building.
He'd deserve a statue somewhere on the square behind the Parliament

Czech republic is great.
But I actually have no idea what they are like over there like I do most European countries, I just admire their architecture.

That's the problem with such great architecture, it costs too much.

I already planned to go to Hawaii this summer. I wish I could do a European vacation. Maybe next time.

Meh.
The exterior didn't cost that much, but if you want to fill all of your room with hand crafted furniture and gold gilding, then it's natural that you'll end up being broke.
Jack Cox
That was a neat read, thanks.

John Smith
Some bavarian dude wanted to dickwave, so he ordered this fancy castle in some bumfuck nowhere
Now, such a building would be pretty expensive, and back then even more, the fact that it's in a tricky location didn't help
He went bankrupt and i think the entire thing resulted in a mess

19th century architecture is so pathetic. It's an overfanciful mashup of old styles, without any own invention, elegancy and spirit.
Pure kitsch.
Daniel Cruz
meh, detailed buildings are still mediocre if they're all the fucking same
Matthew Cook
Your welcome.
To be honest, fancy castles like that usually don't have an interesting backstory. Castles were fortresses, and if they are in good condition, then that means they were never really besieged.
The ones with epic history usually got destroyed, then rebuilt multiple times
Christopher Butler
It might cost you less than Hawaii, depending on where you live in the states. If you live on the East coast, then it will be cheaper for sure. From the bigger east coast cities you can find some round trip tickets for about $600 (depending on the month, of course) to London or Amsterdam, from there you can always take a low cost carrier, or travel by train (although it would be more expensive usually). If you are from the west coast then it's much worse there. But you can still get from LAX to London for about $500 and book something to mainland Europe separately.
Not sure if you were interested in what I've written but you will not regret travelling to Europe.

Sorry for my horrible translation :D

Really love that modernist neo-classical look. Quintessentially fashy. The actual assembly hall is pretty fucking sweet, million years better than the Swedish abomination.

Eh, compared to Sweden's modern hall the Finnish one is perfect.
Pic related, look at this fucking cucked modernist abomination. Looks like some generic lecture hall.
Here is where our "politicians" decide how to best ruin the country more.

wtf, the Riksdag wasn't even bombed.

Oh yeah i was there
The hotel isn't too bad, from the distance it's hard to notice since it fits in pretty well
Cameron Adams
Sweden bombed itself during the late 60's and then the 70's.
