Easy walking distance from the centre and has an interesting free exhibition. Tours of the Palace and gardens are guided only. Hang a wish on the 'peace tree'.

The inner court area is free to enter and a cool place to walk around and look at the buildings. Around the holidays, they have a light show projected on to the parliament building and it's super cool to watch.

they ride by on the bikes and it's no longer 'art'. it's furniture. people should be charged a nickel for the privilege of riding by. quite the piece of historical architecture. and...you might catch a wedding party departing from the front doors OR collected on the steps taking photographs for their wedding album. i love this building. check it out if you have the chance.
