MONICA our God was so great. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and we learned so much. Highly recommend.as traveling from the US
Cathedral is beautiful but quite small and you can see everything on the main floor within a few minutes. I feel they shouldn't be charging, at least not so much. Maybe because I have seen several other grand cathedrals for free
Fascinating history of Hungary, St. Stephen, and the unique elements of Catholicism in this country. Stunningly beautiful church. Incredible views from the dome.
Its so beautiful. Definitely worth a visit.
Definitely worth paying the extra for a guided tour Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable Would highly recommend
Great tour inside the basilica. Our tour guide was very good with sharing information. It was our first day in Budapest, after flying all night so we were a bit "punchy" but the tour was nice. We were there during an incredible heat wave so it was a bit uncomfortable inside but very lovely.
Julia is an excellent guide with many insights. The problem is that the place is not accessible for people having difficulty in climbing stairs
The church is amazingly beautiful. The tour was very informative. The only downside was that at times it was difficult to understand or hear her. Headset would have been a plus.
We booked 4 timed entry tickets online through Viator for Sunday at 9:00 AM and received confirmation. When we arrived the church was closed for liturgical services until 1:00 PM so we couldn’t enter. We had other plans in the afternoon so could not return at 1:00 PM It was a struggle over several days to get a refund. Viator blamed the church ticketing office and St Stephan’s blamed Viator. Not fun.
Nice view of the city from the terrace. Pleasant interior but no effect wahou... Treasure bof. For me this visit was not essential given the price of admission.
