Exploring Budapest’s largest Basilica
Your tour begins with meeting your guide in front of the St. Stephen’s Basilica ticket office. With priority entry, skip the lines and step inside this neoclassical masterpiece. As you explore, admire the intricate frescoes, towering dome, marble columns, and vibrant stained-glass windows. Along the way, your guide will share the fascinating history of this revered landmark, from its architectural grandeur to its deep significance in Hungarian culture.
Terrace views and hidden treasures
Depending on your ticket, take an elevator to the panoramic terrace on your own or with a guide to enjoy breathtaking 360° views of Budapest, where you can see landmarks like the Danube River, Parliament, and Buda Castle. Next, venture into the treasury and historical exhibition, home to centuries-old religious treasures, royal liturgical objects, sacred relics, and revered artifacts such as the mummified right hand of St. Stephen.
Personalized experience with a private tour option
For a more exclusive visit, opt for a private guided tour with an English or Italian-speaking guide, where you’ll explore the Basilica, terrace, treasury, and exhibition with the undivided attention of your guide.
