Szent István Basilika Travel Reviews

St. Stephens Basilica Apr 19, 2008
This is Budapest's Cathedral. It was completed in 1905. It's quite dark inside, but still worth checking out. But the main atraction is on the top of the dome.
It costs 500 HUF pr. adult and 400 HUF pr. child.

You can take the lift up, but I recommend walking all 146 steps to the top. You'll feel your thighs burn at the end, but it's so worth the effort getting there on your own feet...

The view from the dome is magnificent. Although it's quite windy up there, so hold on to anything that might fly away. I almost lost my hat there...lol
