"Dedicated to Stephen, first king of Hungary, St. Stephen's Basilica is one of the most important religious buildings in all of Hungary. It is said that his presumed right hand is kept inside the reliquary.
It is one of the tallest buildings in Budapest, like the Parliament. In fact, the two equal heights at the time symbolized the equality between secular power and spiritual power.
👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Parlament (1 km, 13 min). Metro stop: Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út, line M1.
🎟️Basilica ticket price 1200.00 HUF (€2.09) / Dome and Treasury 2200.00 HUF (€5.30) / Combined ticket (Church+Dome+Treasury) 3200 HUF (€7.70)"

Esta majestuosa iglesia neoclásica, con su impresionante cúpula y fachada, se alza como uno de los símbolos más icónicos de la ciudad. Los visitantes pueden admirar su interior decorado con detalles exquisitos, incluida la famosa reliquia de la mano momificada de San Esteban. Ya sea para disfrutar de sus vistas panorámicas desde la torre o para sumergirse en su atmósfera sacra, la Basílica de San Esteban es una parada imperdible para quienes exploran Budapest."
