Review & FAQ:

The third largest church structure in Hungary, St. Stephen's Basilica is one of the more popular attractions in Budapest. The Roman Catholic basilica is named after the last grand prince of the Hungarians and the first king of Hungary, King Saint Stephen. It is one of the tallest buildings in Budapest and definitely one of the most photogenic; the Greek cross ground plan and the neoclassical architectural style offers visitors some stunning photograph opportunities. Visitors will also see Hungary's biggest bell, weighing over 9 tons, in the southern of the two large bell towers in the basilica. The basilica houses many concerts and performances throughout the year; visitors who are there during the summer months can see the basilica choir perform every Sunday.
