Itinerary
Visit the unique church square of St. Stephen's Basilica and admire the impressive building with its unique reliefs, mosaics and, of course, its dazzling frescoes! The third largest church in Hungary, spanning a length of 87 meters, a width of 55 meters, and a maximum height of 96 meters, is exactly the same height as the Parliament building. The enormous church honors St. Stephen I, the first king of Hungary, who established Christianity in the kingdom. And if all that is not enough, redeem your combined ticket and the treasury - accessible by elevator and stairs - can be visited by the guests arriving here, which has been expanded to three rooms, and which preserves such wonderful relics as, for example, the mummified Right hand. Then take a walk around the panoramic terrace, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city.

Traveler reviews
Our tour guide was...
Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She made the tour so interesting. It was wonderful to have the areas of the church described to us. So worth seeing.
Headset to broadcast for guide & earbuds for guests would be helpful
The guide’s tour lasted about 40 minutes. There was intermittent loud organ music when we were there. We loved the organic music, but it was difficult to hear our guide. I think you should add earphones for guests & a headset that broadcasts his/her voice for the guide.
Good tour
A good tour with a patient and knowledgeable guide Vivienne. The cathedral was nice with interesting local legend stories. The meeting up arrangement was not as in the written instruction and was confusing.
