I visited St. Stephen’s Basilica and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The architecture is breathtaking, and the view from the dome is totally worth the climb! Everything was well organized, and the ticket process was smooth. I highly recommend visiting it if you’re in Budapest — it’s one of the most beautiful landmarks in the city.

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.

Arriving at the beautiful St. Stephen's Basilica, we did not expect to find so many people on a Friday in October. The line at the ticket office was really long so we opted to purchase online. It was quick and we were able to enter right away under the amazement of the many onlookers.

Get skip-the-line entry to St. Stephen Basilica, featuring Hungary’s largest church bell, ornate mosaics, and the Holy Right Hand relic.

Save time by bypassing ticket queues and explore the interiors and chapels at your own pace.

Upgrade options include a guided tour for deeper insights, access to the tower dome for panoramic views, and entry to the treasury.

Did you know? It took over 50 years, 3 architects, and the collapse and complete rebuilding of the dome to construct the basilica.

This was one of the most exciting and beautiful experiences in my life. Both the show itself and the views were stunning. It’s incredibly interesting, with its history and frescoes. My request is this: please, come and see this otherworldly beauty for yourselves.

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.
