The 25 Best Things to Do in Budapest (Updated 2025)

"I admire St. Stephen’s Basilica for its ornate architecture and massive dome — the largest church in Hungary, completed in 1905 after a 50-year build, it houses chapels and the reliquary that supposedly contains St. Stephen’s mummified right hand, and they hold organ recitals on Mondays." - Matthew Kepnes
