#### View the impressive art and artefacts housed inside the largest church in Hungary. Take in vistas of Esztergom from its cupola.

Visible for miles around, the massive Esztergom Basilica defines the skyline of the city. Head to the top of the church’s cupola for panoramic vistas over Esztergom, venture into its eerie underground crypts and see its collection of ecclesiastical artifacts, which is among the finest in the country.

The current basilica with built in the 19th century on the site of an earlier 12th-century cathedral. Look for remaining elements of the original church, including the Bakócz Chapel, which features exquisite red and white marble carvings. Note the statues that were damaged in the Turkish invasion that destroyed most of the original cathedral. A number of angels above the altar are missing heads and the face of the Gabriel statue is noticeably smashed.

Consider booking a guided tour of the cathedral for a more in-depth perspective into its history. As you enter the basilica, head through the door on the right and follow the 50 steps leading down into the crypts. This series of underground vaults houses the tombs of the cathedral's builders and its most important priests. Admire the monoliths guarding the tombs which represent Mourning and Eternity.

Walk back upstairs and find the entrance to the church’s cupola. Climb the winding staircase of 400 steps and be rewarded with some of the best views in Esztergom from the cupola’s observation platform.

Examine the huge painting hung over the church’s main altar, a copy of Titian’s *Assumption*. Visit the treasury, which houses an amazing collection of vestments and church plate, wrought in gold and silver and decorated with jewels.

Opening hours vary depending on the season, so be sure to check the Esztergom Basilica’s official website when planning your visit. Entrance to the church floor is free, but there are charges to visit the crypt, the treasury, the panorama hall and the dome. The cathedral is easily accessible by bus from Budapest and Tatabanya as well as by local bus within Esztergom.

Enjoy your visit to this stunning neoclassical church.

8.6/10 Excellent! (98 reviews)

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Tiliana. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel was just brilliant, being able to sit outside, eat and drink outside in the gorgeous sunshine was just lovely. The bedroom was great and a very comfortable bed. The hotel was really clean everywhere as well. Can't say anything negative about the hotel or anyone. Thank you so much.
