    Beautiful building and great views. Collecting tickets was confusing. Purchased on line but then told to join queue at ticket office to collect them. Discovered by chance that you can enter the ticket office via the exit to pick up the tickets. No signage giving this info. Worth the visit once we were inside.

  • 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!

    Enhance your experience

    Elevate your visit by opting for escorted entry with a guided tour, which will help you avoid wasting time in long ticket queues. Once your guide helps you gain direct and seamless entry to the church, they will show you around. A comprehensive tour with an expert guide will give you deep insights into the history of this 18th-century landmark, enriching your visit.
