Discover Budapest’s iconic church
Located in the heart of the Pest side of the River Danube, St. Stephen’s Basilica is Budapest’s largest Roman Catholic church and place of worship. Soak in the grandeur of its interiors and neoclassical architecture, and explore the treasury and the awe-inspiring dome. Marvel at the church’s most revered religious artifact – the mummified right hand of King St. Stephen I, Hungary’s first king, who introduced Christianity to the kingdom in the 11th century. After getting your fill of the church, use the elevator or climb the 300+ stairs to the Panoramic Terrace. The scenic vistas of the city are worth the effort!
