It is difficult to get the schedule of most museums on a particular day, so Dracula is here to help! There might be changes, as certain buildings like the Parliament might be closed on the day, so you might want to double check but this is a list to help you out a bit.
One thing to know: Most museums are closed on a Monday and quite a few on a Tuesday.
1.Parliament building – One of the largest buildings in the world
Open: Mon , Tue , Wed , Thu , Fri , Sat , Sun (everyday)
Tips: Open everyday, you need you ID on you and to book 24 hours in advance (or if you are lucky, early in the morning). The schedule changes depending what month it is and as it is a government building, they shut down when major events are held or Parliament is on vacation.
