St. Stephen's Basilica is Budapest's largest church, holding the mummified right hand of Hungary's first king as its most famous relic. Since December 1, 2025, entry to the church hall itself requires a ticket — the panoramic terrace and treasury are priced separately, or bundled into an all-in-one combo.
