St. Stephen’s Basilica is a neoclassical church with an imposing dome and elegant turrets. With a height of 315 feet (96 metres), it is the tallest building in the city and among the largest churches in the country. Admire the opulence of this majestic church that features stunning stained-glass windows and works of art. Admire the elegant façade, which is flanked by two tall bell towers. Enter through the main portal and be impressed by the sheer size of the nave. Attend one of the many musical programmes hosted in the basilica, known for its acclaimed head-organist. These concerts include classical, choral and contemporary performances. The church has a capacity for 8,500 people. Ride the elevator or climb the 364-step spiral staircase to reach the cupola’s 360-degree viewpoint. Capture photos of Buda Castle, Gellért Hill and other Budapest attractions. Learn about the intriguing history of this church, which was completed in 1905 and named after King Stephen I of Hungary. Peruse the reliquary for ecclesiastical items, including what is supposedly the king’s right hand, which was said to be “incorruptible.” Relax in the spacious pedestrianized plaza in front of the church. Sit at one of the terraced cafés and restaurants with a view of the church. Come to the market in the square at Christmastime when there is a large tree, decorative lights and an ice-skating ring. Stroll down the adjacent Andrassy Avenue, which is famous for its Millennium Underground network. Visit the operas, art galleries and upscale boutiques of this central boulevard. Admire the neo-Renaissance buildings that line the street. Enter the church for free with the option of leaving a donation. It is open to visitors daily from morning until late afternoon during the week with shorter hours on weekends. Purchase a ticket to access the cupola viewpoint. St. Stephen’s Basilica is near the city centre on the eastern Pest side of the River Danube. Ride the subway to Bajcsy-Zsilinszkyút, which stands on the southeastern corner of the church. Nearby sites include Elisabeth Square and the Hungarian State Opera. ## Plan a trip to see St. Stephen's Basilica Price found within the past 48 hours.

donation to get in. Make sure you check ahead of time to see if the Holy Right room is open! ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller We were there when it opened at 9am and had this majestic building all to ourselves for about 20mins before people started arriving. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller the best place to visit and cheap to get in and to go upto the viewing platform ### 4/5 - Good Chris Don’t bother paying to go up to the tower /museum, the museum was very small and there are better views from Buda Castle/Fisherman Bastion. We went to the Matthias church and this was much better inside if you’re paying. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Visit the Great Synagogue and try Rachel’s Jewish Hungarian cake at the cafe down the road from the synagogue ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller you can climb to the top - worth the stairs for the view!! ### Popular places to visit ![Andrassy Avenue showing street scenes as well as a couple](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/161000/161845-Andrassy-Avenue-Andrassy-Ut.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Andrassy Avenue Peruse designer boutiques, historical buildings and museums as you explore the street at the heart of Hungary’s fascist and communist history.
