An inside visit to the Basilica and on the lookout terrace around the dome
We loved this visit. The church is amazing! Our guide was superb; she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She made sure we were always happy to hear perhaps the more gruesome stories of the church. The views from the top of the tower wer great too. It might have been helpful to have given guidance as to which trams/buses to catch and how and where to purchase the tram/bus ticket, along with directions from the closest stops.
You'll find an English-speaking tour guide who will give you the tickets to enter the church. You'll have a guided tour within the church with the help of your tour guide.
You'll be amazed by its luxurious interior, which is covered in genuine gold and embellished with numerous murals and sculptures created by the top local painters of the late 19th century. Furthermore, you'll view the enigmatic Holy Right, a naturally mummified right hand believed to belong to Saint Stephen, the first Hungarian ruler who brought the nation under Christian authority in the eleventh century.
Finally, you'll take an elevator and continue your tour on your own to the dome's panoramic terrace.
