Take in vistas of Esztergom from its cupola. Visible for miles around, the massive Esztergom Basilica defines the skyline of the city. Head to the top of the church’s cupola for panoramic vistas over Esztergom, venture into its eerie underground crypts and see its collection of ecclesiastical artifacts, which is among the finest in the country. The current basilica with built in the 19th century on the site of an earlier 12th-century cathedral. Look for remaining elements of the original church, including the Bakócz Chapel, which features exquisite red and white marble carvings. Note the statues that were damaged in the Turkish invasion that destroyed most of the original cathedral. A number of angels above the altar are missing heads and the face of the Gabriel statue is noticeably smashed. Consider booking a guided tour of the cathedral for a more in-depth perspective into its history. As you enter the basilica, head through the door on the right and follow the 50 steps leading down into the crypts. This series of underground vaults houses the tombs of the cathedral's builders and its most important priests. Admire the monoliths guarding the tombs which represent Mourning and Eternity. Walk back upstairs and find the entrance to the church’s cupola. Climb the winding staircase of 400 steps and be rewarded with some of the best views in Esztergom from the cupola’s observation platform. Examine the huge painting hung over the church’s main altar, a copy of Titian’s *Assumption*. Visit the treasury, which houses an amazing collection of vestments and church plate, wrought in gold and silver and decorated with jewels. Opening hours vary depending on the season, so be sure to check the Esztergom Basilica’s official website when planning your visit. Entrance to the church floor is free, but there are charges to visit the crypt, the treasury, the panorama hall and the dome. The cathedral is easily accessible by bus from Budapest and Tatabanya as well as by local bus within Esztergom. Enjoy your visit to this stunning neoclassical church. ## Plan a trip to see Esztergom Basilica Price found within the past 48 hours.

(23 reviews) Everything in all honesty was really good. Staff really helpful, the lady(red hair wish we'd asked her name)at breakfast made our kids packed lunch which was a life saver 3 hours later. So a huge thanks to her. The biggest let down was the later check in process. We did speak to the front desk in the morning and the explanation was details weren't readily available through Expedia when booking on Expedia. I can't see this being the case because correspondence before arrival via email, Expedia and phone. That should be streamlined somehow or the process to have an opt in option. Having that sprung on us at 10pm with two tired children on the street outside wasn't ideal. But we can take the good with the bad. Within that late check in process there should be also and option to request drinks put in as all additions (water, snacks, beer etc.) we're locked in a fridge. It'd be a nice touch to be able to request and pay for those to be in the fridge in the room on arrival Reviewed on Mar 27, 2026 ![Exe Budapest Center](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2810000/2802100/2802063/39569acc_y.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ### Exe Budapest Center Budapest City Centre CA $2,388 per person May 28 - Jun 1 found 23 hours ago Roundtrip non-stop flight included Toronto (YYZ) to Budapest (BUD) 8.6/10 Excellent!
