This is very beautiful basilica in center of town. It is one of the postcard image place of Budapest.There is no charge to see the Basilica, it is free of charge but you should give some donation. Also you can go on the top to have a panoramic view which cost you around 10 euro, there is an elevator. There are lots of good restaurant nearby

Just simply amazing, probably the most grandeur thing in the city of Budapest. The view from the top is also breathtaking, especially during sunset. Be aware though there is an elevator that will take you near the top, you’ll still need to take some stairs more until you reach the viewing platform.

St. Stephen Basilica is a really beautiful catholic church from the early 19's. No worry about the crowd because there is a huge enter where you can enter to visit the Basilica just for 5 minutes. There are a lot of beautiful things to visit and to picture.

Lookout views from the dome worth the visit

Bought the tickets on-site from the counter on the side. Easy to get ticket. The basillica was beautiful and huge. Tickets include the rooftop too. There is a elevator that takes you to the top so we didn’t have to walk up the stairs. The view from top is phenomenal. Must visit in Budapest

We visited Saint Stephen's Basilica on Wednesday morning around 11, and it proved to be a delightful experience. The interior showcased the remarkable church, housing the preserved severed hand of St. Stephen in a reliquary. Additionally, the reliquary of Charles VI, containing a rib, added to the historical significance. The church's architectural style was impressive, and we were fortunate to be there when the gigantic organ played, creating a captivating atmosphere. We also explored Pandora, offering panoramic views of the city, providing a unique perspective on its dimensions. Overall, our visit to Saint Stephen's Basilica was a pleasant and culturally enriching experience.

Beautiful decor, so worth seeing. Very peaceful feeling. Bought tickets at the door with no wait time on a Friday afternoon

Amazing outfit and detail. Was really surprised to see this in Budapest. The front door is an absolute work of art. Highly recommended to see while in Budapest.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful cathedral that rings a bell every hour. There is a large square in front of the main gate, adding to its grandeur. (Original) 정각마다 종소리를 울리는 아름다운 성당이지요. 정문 앞으로 큰 광장을 끼고 있어 그 웅장함을 더 하고 있어요.

The entrance to Basilica is free, but you should give 200 HUF as a donation. Everyone gives it. We took a tour to the top of the Basilica and the exhibition "St. Stephen's Basilica Treasury" and you need to pay this additional but it is worth it. To the top, you can come with an elevator. It is a nice, calm place and I recommend visiting it if you came to Budapest.

Very nice basilica. We can go up to the view point near the dome to get a good view of the city. You can choose either elevator or stairs!

The place at the time of visit was crowded, but still had the time and space for observing and appreciating the architecture. It is of great historical importance to the people. There was a service going on but the experience was wonderful especially the amazing sounds from the pianoforte. Highly recommended.

Together with the Parliament of Budapest , they are the two tallest buildings in the city (at 96 m ), as well as the second largest religious building in the country, with capacity for 8,500 people. Construction began on the year 1851 , ending 54 years later, in 1905 , being consecrated that same year. The delays in the works were due to the fact that the dome had to be demolished in 1868 and rebuilt. The main architect was the Hungarian Miklós Ybl . The main façade is completed with two twin towers like bell towers; In the right tower is the heaviest (weighing nine tons) and the largest bell in Hungary. From the dome you get excellent panoramic views of Budapest; The top is accessed by elevators or by 364 steps . Among the works of art, the statues of Alajos Stróbl and the painting of Gyula Benczúr stand out. Thanks to its acoustics, inside you can enjoy organ concerts.

Gorgeous!! This was the was the highlight of my Budapest trip. You buy the tickets from a store right outside. We went during sunset and it was perfect, not busy and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunset.

For sure, it is one of the most impressive buildings in Budapest and Europe. The outside is beautifully lightened during the night, and the details of its facade can be viewed during the daytime. In December, you'll also have the chance to visit one of Europe's most astonishing Christmas markets here. The inside is also a strong recommendation for all tourists. Usually, prices and waiting times are okay if you're not visiting during prime season.

Impressive cathedral. Ticket price 7€. You can read some explanations on a booklet. Be sure to check the opening time and don't forget to take a look at the hand reliquia of Saint Stephen.

One of the most important monuments in Budapest. A beautiful, although crowded, basilica. It is possible to enter the observation deck (stairs or elevator), from where you can see the very center of the capital.

If you're visiting Budapest, the Basilica is an absolute must-see. This stunning architectural marvel is not just a feast for the eyes but also offers an enriching cultural experience. The highlight for many visitors, including myself, is the organ concert held at 5 PM. The acoustics of the Basilica paired with the skilled organist create an unforgettable auditory experience that resonates deeply within the grand walls of this sacred space. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a lover of classical music, or simply seeking a serene and beautiful place to reflect, the Basilica in Budapest will not disappoint. I highly recommend scheduling your visit to coincide with the organ concert for an experience that is truly sublime.

Базиликата е величествена отвън, но задължително трябва да влезнете, за да разберете колко е внушителна и великолепна вътре! Ако е по време на служба може да се насладите на звука на прекрасния орган и богатите орнаменти, украса, икони и витражи. Перфектно поддържана до най-малкия детайл! Следващият път непременно ще се изкача до камбанарията!

(Translated by Google) The largest Catholic cathedral in Budapest. A beautiful religious building is a sokafederal cathedral with stained glass windows depicting figures of saints. Built in front of the Secheny Bridge in the style of neoclassicism in the period from 1851 to 1905. Height 95 meters. At the consecration in 1905, the basilica received the honorary status of a small basilica. Who of the tourists has the strength to climb the observation deck.

(Translated by Google) The main cathedral of Budapest. A must visit! It is hard to find a more grandiose, beautiful, impressive structure. Impressive! Unfortunately, it was not possible to enter the cathedral itself. (Original) Главный собор Будапешта. Обязателен для посещения! Более грандиозного, красивого, впечатляющего сооружения трудно найти. Впечатляет! К сожалению, в сам собор зайти не удалось.

This is the most beautiful and important church in Budapest. The colors dance in it.There are colored glass that is the only remnant of the true church from the time of World War II. The dome of the original church is unique. The area around the church is also very beautiful.Be sure to visit this place and walk in the surrounding streets both day and night.

Quiet and good for meditations. However the door man should be take into consideration that some people are coming to meditate. He denied me entering and many others without paying a donation of €1. His face seems to be more concerned about people paying money without even thinking of the bigger picture. Donation should be done out of will not to force people do that. His eyes showed that he is a capitalist, always centred on money and money. I was of the idea that entering in the church is for free, but exploring the other parts is with a fee. Anyway, let them just say, entering to the church it’s a €1, and other sections you have to pay a huge amount.

There is a 200 HUF entrance fee (Paid as a "donation"), which is needed for the upkeep of the building. It's a really pretty Basilica, especially from the inside, so I really recommend getting in and taking the time to admire the artworks. The roof is heavily decorated, both with gold and paintings, it reminded me of the Basilica Saint Peter in the Vatican. There is also a tower that you can climb for a price (1000 HUF / ~3€)

Nice architecture inside and out! Check it out and enjoy the Art even if you’re not Christian. ☺️plus in front of it there is a nice local food market! 👌🏻

Beautiful place to visit

Amazing cadethrale in the heart of Budapest. Its the citys main architecture landmark after parlament and castle in buda! The panorama street straith to the church is in the morning light a perfect position to take some impressive photos with special atmosphere in light !

Beautiful Roman Catholic basilica - named after St Stephen Interesting facts include the fact that it’s not Jesus Christ above the alter like other Cathedrals but St Stephen At Stephen’s mummified arm can be found inside Along with Hungary’s most famous footballer Free to enter with small donation

St. Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary whose right hand is housed in the reliquary. It was the sixth largest church building in Hungary before 1920. Today, it is the third largest church building in present-day Hungary. Equal with the Hungarian Parliament Building, it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest at 96 metres (315 ft) - this equation symbolises that worldly and spiritual thinking have the same importance.

Imposing and solemn. Spectacular ecclesiastical building very visited by tourists. Admission only costs €1, a luxury. They have an elevator to go to the dome. This stop is very worth it.

Very nice place to visit. The interior is beautiful. Climbing the tower part was awesome. A lot of steps, but it's worth it. There is a toilet at the middle part of the tower. The views are incredible

Lovely Basilica. The center of the city. Extravagant interiors but nothing different than say, St Peter's Basilica in Rome which is FREE. If you feel like giving a forced donation by buying a ticket, please do make the pope happy! I loved getting the free (voluntary tipping) walking tour with the guy in the red umbrella everyday at 11 am - i tipped as much as the entrance and was the best introduction to Budapest for 2.5 hours. andraci Avenue just behind it is fantastic to walk.

An amazing church and basilica. The construction is highly detailed and the interior quite amazing. Of particular note are the cupolas, organ, main altar and of course the 304 steps to the walkway around the outside of the dome. Although you have to pay an entrance fee it's well worth the money.

St. Stephen's Basilica is dedicated to King István, the first monarch of Hungary, who brought Christianity to the country. The mummified fist of the king, now aged over 1,000 years, is kept right here in the church, as a relic encased in a glass box, and is an object of regular pilgrimage from all over Hungary (although one can easily miss it, if not aware). Also interred in the church is Hungary's legendary soccer player, Ferenc Puskás, considered to be one of the best footballers of all time. For many Hungarians this is the most important religious site, much as it is a key local attraction for tourists, not the least because of its size – the building can hold up to 8,500 people at a time and stands 96 meters high, being the 3rd tallest structure in the country, at par with the Hungarian Parliament, holding the legally allowed height record for Budapest. To create this Neo-Classical basilica took three architects, including Hungary's finest, Miklós Ybl. Adorned with a bust of St István, right above the doorway, the facade of the building features a huge arched portal with Ionian columns, flanked on both sides with huge belfries. Topping the right tower is the heaviest and largest bell in the country, weighing nine tonnes!

My experience at St. Stephen's Basilica was unforgettable. Its beauty, historical significance, and spiritual ambiance make it a must-visit attraction in Budapest. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or someone seeking solace in a sacred space, St. Stephen's Basilica will leave you in awe with its magnificence. One of the highlights of my visit was ascending to the top of the basilica's dome. The panoramic view of Budapest from this vantage point is simply breathtaking. It offers a unique perspective on the city's iconic landmarks such as the Hungarian Parliament Building and Chain Bridge.

Amazing and so beautiful bazillica with supreme architecture. This is a must visit and don't give up climbing the 400 stairs.

St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest is a magnificent architectural gem that left me in awe. The basilica's imposing dome, reaching a height of 96 meters, dominates the city's skyline and offers a visual treat for visitors. As I stepped inside, the grandeur of the interior took my breath away. The ornate decorations, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows created a serene and majestic atmosphere. One of the highlights of my visit was the chance to view the basilica's most precious relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen himself, the first king of Hungary. This sacred relic is housed in a beautifully adorned reliquary, and its significance adds a spiritual touch to the basilica's historical importance. Climbing to the top of the dome was an unforgettable experience. The panoramic views of Budapest from the observation deck were simply breathtaking. I marveled at the stunning architecture of the city, with its iconic landmarks and the sweeping Danube River. Exploring the basilica's interior was a captivating journey. The intricate details of the statues, altars, and frescoes were a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen. I enjoyed wandering through the various chapels, admiring the beautiful artwork and feeling a sense of peace and tranquility. Overall, my visit to St. Stephen's Basilica was an absolute delight. The impressive dome, the sacred relic, the awe-inspiring views, and the opportunity to explore its magnificent interior made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend adding this architectural masterpiece to your itinerary when visiting Budapest.

A beautiful basilica, we really enjoyed our visit there. This is the largest church in Budapest. To access the dome, you can use 364 steps or the elevator, and this offers amazing views. The entrance is approximately £10 pp.

Such a stunning building. The ticket office is just off to the side. Expect to queue to buy your ticket. We bought the combined ticket which I recommend so you can get the fantastic views from the top. There are lifts to each part but you will have to climb a few stairs regardless. One of the most interesting things was St Stephen's hand kept in a case.

The view from the panoramic terrace is definitely worth the price of admission! You can see the entire city skyline from atop the basilica. I also saw the treasury, which had some very nice art, statues, and various Catholic accoutrements. The basilica itself has some beautiful architecture, finely detailed with statues of many saints and religious figures. I would say that anyone would find this place interesting. If you are a fan of architecture, history, or religion, it's a must-see.

It is truly a beautiful Basilica. Well worth the 2 to 3 hours spent walking around this amazing building. We bought the tickets that allow you to see the treasury and the city view. Please be careful. There is a lift for most of the way to the top, but there are still quite a few stairs you need to take to get to the viewing area.

Stunning basilica! The work which went into these buildings is incredible. Make sure to pay for the view from the top. It is well worth going early as the elevators are tiny so don’t fit a lot of people so you’d end up waiting I guess. We went as soon as it opened and it was the best decision we made.

Really nice place. If you want to go in , you need to buy a ticket from the ticket office next to the church. There is 2 different tickets Either just church or church and viewing gallery. The viewing gallery has a lift ( actually 2 ) to get up and down or if your daft as a brush. You can use the stairs.

Beautiful church from outside, but even more breathtaking from inside!

One of the Budapest must visits. Come early as it's very busy here. I suggest getting the rooftop combo package. A striking basilica from outside, it's a great photo opportunity. Inside is mind blowing. Such beautiful and reverence. A true blessing to the almighty creator. There are roped off spots for quiet prayer and reflection. Please take your hat off indoors. A group of Chinese tourists unfortunately showed a lack of respect by refusing to do so. The treasure room is interesting with luxurious and historical relics from previous bishops. The rooftop had great views on rainy or sunny days. It's worth the extra effort. You can take the lazy elevator or take the stairs like I did. Combined ticket is 3500HUF or free for teachers

We did stop in Budapest briefly in November. Did visit the Basilica for an evening concert and the next day for the terrace and museums. The building is spectacular and well displayed. We could not see the 9 Ton large bell, but got a glimpse of the smaller ones and the relics. Acoustics are great and the atmosphere was grandiose.

What an beautiful Basilica! We purchased tickets to hear Ave Maria and the acoustics were excellent. Take the time to wander around inside and see the art and altars. This is a functioning church so act accordingly. The Christmas fair outside is well done and had a lot to offer (much more than Vienna). This is on stop you should not miss.

St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest offers an excellent experience, boasting a beautiful view and an interior that is nothing short of amazing. The panoramic vista from the top is simply breathtaking, providing a stunning perspective of the city. The interior's grandeur and intricate design captivate visitors, making it a must-see for anyone exploring Budapest.

Saint Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic church. It is named in honor of Stephen, the first Hungarian king, whose hand is kept in the reliquary. It is very beautiful and well maintained. At times, it is reminiscent of the Vatican church in its grandeur. During the holidays, there were a lot of people. My wife and I lit a candle in memory of our deceased relatives.

This Basilica is amazing. It stands out in Budapest. The square is front of it is nice and have some good food spots. The size of the Basilica really amazes you. And the inside, just do that and more. When I went, it was free, and you could do a small donation to it. I think there is a paid tour to the top of the Basilica, if you have time, it seems to be worth it. This was my first big touristic spot in Budapest, and the first impression of an amazing place this city is, it was confirmed the next few days. And being on a hostel close to the Basilica, it was awesome to end each day passing by this beautiful structure. So to sun up, visit At. Stephen's during day and night.

An incredible basilica that made it straight to my personal top 3 favourite cathedrals all over the world. It’s both beautiful in summer and winter. The view from the top is breathtaking, especially if you come up in a winter evening when the city is lit up with purple colours.

I loved this place just because of its central location. There are a lot of things nearby. It is very peaceful inside. If you are a photogenic, you can take take the tedious climb and enjoy the views of the city from the terrace. Mind it, these views are breathtaking. You can see Budapest Airport, Parliament Building, Hills, River etc, all in one frame.

Amazing architecture, incredible techniques, wood-golden masterpieces... Simply beautiful.

Awesome, gloomy cathedral with some incredible detailed frescoes and mosaics on the ceiling and dome. 200 forints donation to enter and another 200 to luminary the box holding the relic of St Stephen’s right hand (The Holy Dexter). Big shame that yours of the tower and lookout aren’t happening at the moment. Otherwise it’s well worth a visit. I’d recommend going around late afternoon as the sun is starting to go down - the light coming in through the stained glass windows is pretty dramatic!

Really beautiful church. The architecture and decoration are adorable. But I remember, that it was a bit complicated, because we had to pay 200Ft per each of us to go in, but we had only 1000Ft banknotes. But fortunately in the little shop next to the church we could change our money 🙂

One of the most beautiful churches in all of Europe. You can explore around most places of the cathedral. However you should pay to go in. It's labeled as a "donation" but it's compulsory to pay it which is annoying if you have no change. But definitely very much worth a visit too!

The church is beautiful , and if you can afford to go to the top, buy the ticket because is worth it, include the treasure room. You will be at the top of the church and get an amazing view from there, highly recommended

The entrance to the church is free, but if you want to enjoy the fantastic views of Budapest from the dome, you will have to pay 1-2€. In this church is also kept one of the most valuable things of Budapest, the right hand of Saint Stephen I, the first king of Hungary; to light up the reliquary where the hand is and see it, you’ll have to pay about 1€. You can also find a majestic and enormous organ in this church, if you’re lucky maybe there’s an organ concert there during your stay at Budapest, fortunately they’re quite frequent! :) The cheapest ticket usually costs about 20€.

Awesome building and great possibility to watch the service also as an tourist. You should be quite and deactivate flashlight on your camera. The Basilika is impressive from the inside and outside. The rooftop-view isn't worth to money to be honest. It's nice but of you need to spare the money for other sights, don't go upstairs. Especially the treasury is totally unnecessary to visit. Super small and not a single piece of interest.

The view from the top is not to be missed... Spectacular weather with a sparkle on the city. The interior is beautiful and maintained in pristine fashion.

Visually awe inspiring. If you have the chance, I recommend attending the daily, excepting Sundays, noontime organ recitals.

Beautiful church and square. With plenty of restaurants and pubs to vine and dine while enjoying the view.

Pretty impressive church in the center of Budapest. For us, most impressive actually was the dome. You can get up there with an elevator and then enjoy a nice look over the rooftops of Budapest. Don't forget to also visit the surrounding area with has some nice restaurants and cafes.

I was very lucky to witness a wedding. Very beautiful and must visit place. Just outside the basilica, is huge square of amazing and cheap desserts

Beautiful Basilica steeped in history well worth a trip to the top of your energetic enough wonderful view.

U have to climb on top, amazing view over Budapest. OK, I took the stairs, but we have hills, so ... But they have ekvator for.....Church is huge but unfortunatelly there was a mass, so we found quick exit out od respect.

A really impressive building, with a very beautiful architecture.

We were in period 2021 just few days before pope came... amazing atmosphere of all people singing.

That's an amazing cathedral with magic enigmatic atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting!

Saint Stephen Basilica is so beautiful inside/outside. One needs to go there in order to appreciate the beauty. Honestly, one hour walking around is not enough.

Absolutely beautiful! We had the best of luck stumbling upon an organ concert series and it was absolutely amazing!

It is much taller and spacious than it looks and the interior looks like you stepped into a historic movie. The sun was shining through one of the coloured windows, making the golden decorations stand out even more. Oh, the trip to the top of the cupola is totally worth it. The best view of the city from above.

Great architecture! Really monumental and spiritual place to visit…

One of the most beautiful views I have seen in my life from the top and one of the nicest inside. The best given money is Budapest for sure! It has working hours so watch out for that.

Very impressive and massive with a huge richly decorated interior space as one might expect of such an impressive structure. There is access by stairs and elevator to a viewing balcony that surrounds the main dome. That is definitely worth the climb, or the ride. Also, there is the relic of St Stephan's hand, but that was not on display when we were there, although the very ornate encasement where the hand is normally viewed was there. Interestingly, the the hand can be illuminated for photos for a brief period by inserting a coin into a machine next to the encasement structure.

Great tourist attraction not so great church

Architectual excellent building, large basilica with large park in front of.

Must see. If you get a chance and are not afraid of hights, than you should go to the top of the basilica as well

Beautiful

Very nice view from the rooftop.

It's a beautiful church

Very nice basilica to visit. You have to make a donation of 200 HUF in coins at the door to gain entry. You can also pay 1500 HUF to go up to the view point near the dome to get a good view of the city. Go near sunset to get some good photos.

Budapest symbol, in center of town. Visible from many parts of city. Beautiful light in the night. Impressing interior, but not allowed for visitors all part of church

Incredible landscape from upstairs

Beautiful church. Worth a visit. The entrance it's not too expensive. Inside it's simply stunning and you can go up for the best rooftop view of the city.

The Basilica is worth seeing both outside and inside. Would recommend taking the look-out ticket also as the view on the city is very nice.

Went inside the church, treasury and onto the observation point. Seeing Budapest from high up is a thing I recommend everyone should do! The basilica from inside is beautiful, ornamented, gilded, pompous, golden etc etc. Just never understood why a statue of St istvan is in the most central place at the altar and not a cross...suspicious ;)

Fascinating

Extraordinary creation. It looks unreal from inside. Saint hand is located the here thats 1000 year old and considered a miracle. It was used 20 kilos of gold dust to decorate the ceiling.

Very beautiful, the ticket price is normal and I recommend to pay a little more to visit also the treasury and the viewpoint on the chapel.

Entry isn’t free. Google info is incorrect. Paid around 9euros. Maintenance is required on the top floor. Don’t visit during summer days. Great Panoramic view.

The imposing cathedral, located in the historic center of the city, on the banks of the Pesta. Very important religious monument for the Hungarian people. In December here, in front of the cathedral, is one of the most famous and beautiful Christmas fairs in Europe.

Lovely Basilica. The center of the city. Extravagant interiors but nothing different than say, St Peter's Basilica in Rome which is FREE. If you feel like giving a forced donation by buying a ticket, please do make the pope happy! I loved getting the free (voluntary tipping) walking tour with the guy in the red umbrella everyday at 11 am - i tipped as much as the entrance and was the best introduction to Budapest for 2.5 hours. andraci Avenue just behind it is fantastic to walk - the Champs De Elysses a la Paris. It is a walk of about 1.5 km via the opera n the embassies to heroes square and a lovely public garden n schenici baths

About 10 euros each for the full go everywhere, and see everything..definitely a wow factor, it is a good walk up to the top so have to be pretty fit, it's an experience in its own...don't worry there is a lift 😀 witch i got down..plenty of restaurants around there 😀

Amazing architecture, beutiful details

Beautiful beautiful building. We are not religious, visited just to see inside but still felt calming experience. Just did 'church' part of tour as party not able to climb. Fair price.

Amazing view over the city! Reasonable price. If you don't feel comfortable through the stairs, elevators will take you on top.

Took my breath away, just beautiful. Climbed to top which has combination of stairs and lifts so not difficult. View is more than worth it.

Stunning!!! There is so much to take in and see. Beautiful. It's worth the price, and the views from the tower are breathtaking

Amazing architecture. Has one of the best organs in Europe, you must go for an organ concert in this church. Be prepared with cash since they don't take any card payments.

Great view from panorama roof. Nice interior of basilica.

£8 approx per person to go up the Basilica tower and take in the stunning Budapest skyline. Great way to see the city from above. Really good value, other tickets are available for the church hall tour too. Does get busy so be prepared to wait for the lift and to get the perfect pics.

This is a must see in Budapest. If you can get the full package, I would recommend it as the church itself is beautiful on the inside with intricate design and artistry. This time round I opted for just the panoramic view at the top, which you can take stairs up or take a lift. We took a lift halfway up and then walked as the second lift was quite busy. Well worth it for the views over the city. If you got hot on the stairs up, don't worry, it's normally quite windy up there so you'll cool down fast. The treasury that's included in the ticket is also a nice little thing to see, it's just a small exhibit so you don't have to spend too long there.

It was a marvel to behold. The architectural symbols, the quiet inner sanctum brought me peace from within. We spent quite a while there and appreciated the structure and its elements. This was one of the best places we visited in Budapest.

One of the best places to see a bird’s eye view of the city. The ticket office is located somewhere and you have options to get a package ticket. Entrance fee was also OK. Around 8€ to get to the top of the dome with free entrance to the treasury. And unfortunately not a good place for people with disability and difficulty walking.

This is one of the most beautiful Churches. The interior and the ceiling is marvellous and extremely beautiful. You can attend the mass. Please don’t forget to see the Hand of King Stephen who died in 1038. You can buy tickets to go on the roof of the Basilica.

The interior of the church is awe inspiring. Kick for the extra ticket for the tower, as the views of the city are awesome. Rivals views from castle district.

very nice historical place dont miss the panorama from the top really nice.

Beautiful inside and amazing ( even a little scary ) view from the upper terrace.

Incredible. Spectacular paintings and sculptures. Even if you don't consider yourself Catholic or religious, this is a must. The price is low compared with how much you can see. Highly recommend.

Nice square in front of Basilica

Great views, amazing interior but very busy, tour groups etc. The organ was being tuned which was so loud it was actually pretty painful at times. I also don't really like paying to enter churches. Also if you're going to have hand sanitizers please refill them!

Nice structure and a big open ground in the front. Another must see attraction. It is pretty big in height and very interesting architecture as well.

The basilica is so pretty – it's really beautiful! If you want to take great pictures, you can visit in the morning or when it's getting dark in the evening. The light at those times makes the pictures look amazing. Whether it's sunrise or sunset, you'll capture the basilica's beauty. So, remember, morning and late evening are the best times for wonderful pictures at the basilica.

St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest is a stunning architectural marvel. While the exterior is impressive, it's the interior that truly dazzles. The soaring ceilings, adorned with exquisite frescoes, create a sense of grandeur. Stained glass windows cast beautiful colors on the marble floors. Every detail, from the altar to the sculptures, reflects remarkable craftsmanship.

Fantastic place. Easy to go everywhere. Nice and great arrangements with battery car but very very expensive. Government has to regulate such prices for repeat visit by tourists. Overall good but could be better

This place is amazing !! A must visit

Impressive cathedral in the center of the city, with great decorations. I recommend attending the Catholic Mass offered everyday. Many statues and relics worth watching and meditating along with its history in honor of their patron saint and king Saint Stephen.

Great location to visit during the day and if you can get tickets for the concert in the evening it is amazing. Views from the outlook are amazing and worth that ticket. Christmas market is going up as of 15 Nov 2023 and should be finished by 17 Nov 2023. Expect the Christmas market to be a must if you are In Budapest during the Christmas Season.

The Basilica is absolutely stunning, and the view from the top even more so! A classic when you're in Budapest. A lift is available to go on the panoramic terrace if you can't climb the stairs. Please note that even though it is a church, a ticket is necessary to visit the basilica.

Went there on the Friday night concert. The church is beautiful. On Xmas Markets time they do projection on the main entrance every few minutes. The concert was nice. I recommend the category 3 tickets (the cheapest ones) since the irfan is anyways at the back of the church. Concert could have been better if only they had more musicians.

Stephen's Basilica is already very impressive from the outside, and it's even more impressive inside! The size of the basilica is huge and interiors are very richly decorated. It's worth buying a ticket with entry to the Panoramic Terraces, because the view of the city from above is beautiful!

Gorgeous basilica. Be sure to walk around the exterior to see it in its entirety. There are times posted when it is open for entry. I loved the Chriatmas market here, the basilica makes a beautiful backdrop to the festivities. The vendors were similar to those found at other Christmas markets around the city.

Quite the building as you would expect with any basilica, the artistic work inside is incredible. There's also a viewing platform, take the elevator up and stairs down, unless you're really fit and want to climb the hundreds of stairs to get to the top, good views of the city from up top.

Well worth the entrance at about €8 each....it truly is a stunning interior.....the full tour is worth it also....recommended. you buy tickets opposite the Basilica next to the market at the Ticket Office so go there first and don't waste your time assuming you can buy tickets at the entrance! Highly recommended.

Magnificent. One of the most important religious buildings in Hungary, nicely renovated, at the heart of Budapest.

Highly recommend a visit, with the tower ticket too. These can be discounted with a Budapest card ( check t&cs) Very beautiful, and humbling to stand inside. A lot to take in. Well persevered and cared for. Would recommend the tower ticket extra as there is more historic information, and beautiful 360 views of the area. Visiting in late November it was very quiet with not too many tourists and therfore did not queue for tickets - not sure what this would be like in peak times.

I was not able to get inside the church but the architecture from outside was beautiful. There are many shops to satisfy your craving, these were specifically setup during the new year time. It was really crowded at evening. Overall a must place to visit.

This a beautiful cathedral and is a must see.

Beautiful by day, beautiful by night. It's well worth paying to see the panoramic view, especially the sunset. To go up, you have the option of a lift (there are two - with a long queue) and stairs. Be aware that there are a LOT of stairs and spiral staircases. Be prepared 🏋🏻‍♀️

Indeed, a treat for the eyes. St Istvan’s (Stephen’s) Basilica is one of the best architectures of Budapest. Although we didn’t get a chance to enter inside Basilica, we were delighted by the minute details of the arts engraved on the exterior walls. I am looking forward to visit the church again so that I can get a chance to enter and enjoy the panoramic view of Budapest from its terrace.
