What To Expect
Szent Istvan Bazilika
Visit the unique church square of St. Stephen's Basilica and admire the impressive building with its unique reliefs, mosaics and, of course, its dazzling frescoes! The third largest church in Hungary, spanning a length of 87 meters, a width of 55 meters, and a maximum height of 96 meters, is exactly the same height as the Parliament building. The enormous church honors St. Stephen I, the first king of Hungary, who established Christianity in the kingdom. And if all that is not enough, redeem your combined ticket and the treasury - accessible by elevator and stairs - can be visited by the guests arriving here, which has been expanded to three rooms, and which preserves such wonderful relics as, for example, the mummified Right hand. Then take a walk around the panoramic terrace, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city.

Guided Tour - No Guide

3.00According to the app, I was instructed to go inside the office to redeem my ticket and then wait for a guide at a designated location near the Basilica. However, when I arrived at the office, I was told to go back outside and wait for a guide who would provide the tickets. As the scheduled tour time approached, there was no guide present. I called the office and was informed that the guide would be approximately 10 minutes late. After waiting an additional 10 minutes with no sign of anyone, I returned to the ticket office. At that point, I was told that another guide was on the way and that we would need to wait an additional 20 minutes. This experience was a bit frustrating and felt like a waste of both time and money. Due to the delays and lack of organization, I did not receive the full guided experience that I had paid for. I would appreciate it if you could review this situation and consider offering some form of compensation.
Worth the climb

5.00Beautiful architecture inside and out. Ticket only, from shop next to Starbucks I think. Tremendous views from the top well worth paying for. We took the stairs, but there are lifts. Definitely worth visiting.
