St Stephen's Basilica

Overview

St Stephen's Basilica (Szent István Bazilika) epitomises Hungarian grandeur and religious devotion. Named after the first king of Hungary, this Roman Catholic basilica showcases remarkable artistry.

Upon entering, you'll see Károly Senyei's relief of Saint Stephen and mosaics by Bertalan Székely. The Treasury itself features ornate robes, monstrances, and paintings. The climb up 364 spiral steps is not for the faint-hearted or weak knees, but worth it if you can. You'll be greeted with panoramic views of Budapest stretching out in all directions.
