Description

Step into the heart of Budapest and experience the awe-inspiring St. Stephen's Basilica, a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture. Begin your journey with a knowledgeable guide who will meet you in front of the ticket office, ready to unveil the secrets of this iconic Hungarian landmark.

Marvel at the basilica's lavish gold interior and admire intricate frescoes and sculptures crafted by celebrated 19th-century artists. As you explore, your guide will share fascinating stories about Hungary's thousand-year-old Christian heritage and the significance of St. Stephen, the nation’s first king.

A highlight of your visit is the chance to see the Holy Right, the naturally mummified hand of King Stephen, which has been preserved as a national relic. Learn about the basilica’s role in Hungarian history and its connection to Cardinal Mindszenty, a prominent church leader during the Communist era.

For a truly unforgettable experience, choose the extended or private tour options to ascend to the panoramic terrace. Take an elevator or climb a few steps to reach the dome, where breathtaking 360-degree views of Budapest await. Explore the Treasury and Basilica exhibition, featuring ornate liturgical objects and a replica of the royal crown.

Dress respectfully for your visit, as the basilica is an active place of worship. Don’t miss your chance to discover one of Budapest’s most treasured sites—secure your spot now and immerse yourself in Hungary’s rich cultural legacy.
