Description

St Stephen’s Basilica is Hungary’s third largest Catholic church and the most significant church of the capital.

In this tour I will tell you the story of the construction of this amazing church and the reasons why the building took more than 50 years to complete. I will give you a complete architectural description of the basilica’s outer structure and its interior.

I will talk about the beautiful, prestigious sculptures, mosaics, paintings and altars found inside the basilica and I will tell you the legend of one of Hungary’s most valuable relics, the Holy Right which you will also have the opportunity to admire.

I will also give you an interesting overview on Hungary’s history including Hungarian saints and kings whose sculptures can be seen inside the building.

At the end of the tour I will entertain you with a unique folk music performance by singing you some of the most beautiful Hungarian folk songs and showing you some traditional Hungarian folk dance steps.

Good to know before you go
  • Wear comfortable shoes as there will be walking involved
  • Flash photography is not allowed for taking photos of the Holy Right
