Explore the Interior of St. Stephen's Basilica
Step into St. Stephen's Basilica, located in the heart of Budapest, and marvel at its magnificent nave and dome. Construction began in 1851 and the basilica was consecrated in 1905. Its unique architecture, evolving from Classicism with added Renaissance elements, and the opulent interior decorations are truly impressive. Take your time to admire the golden interiors, frescoes, and sculptures, and discover the story of St. Stephen, a figure of great significance in Hungarian history and Christian culture.
Encounter Sacred Relics and Religious Art

One of the most special attractions within the basilica is the Holy Right, a sacred relic preserving the right hand of Hungary's first king, St. Stephen. Reflect on the significance of St. Stephen, the patron saint of the basilica, and his role in the founding of Hungary and its Christian history as you explore the interior.
The nave is adorned with various works by Hungarian artists, including sculptures, paintings, and mosaics, making it an excellent place to appreciate both architecture and art.
Discover the Dome Observatory and Treasury

Choosing the upgrade option grants you access to the Treasury and the Panorama Terrace. After viewing the religious artifacts and liturgical art collected by the basilica in the Treasury, head up to the Dome Observatory.
The outdoor Panorama Terrace offers a stunning 360° view of Budapest's rooftops and cityscape. This option is highly recommended if you wish to enjoy the city's panorama along with your visit to the basilica.
