圣史蒂芬大教堂（szent istvan bazilika）

我喜欢这个教堂,但是我不喜欢这里浓重的商业气息—你刚一进门就会有牧师或者牧师装扮的人怂恿你捐款200福林。。。这里有一个游玩的地方,但是里面很黑,什么也看不见,如果你想游览的话,还要再交100或200福林,他们才会打开灯让你游览。。。真够有创造性的呀。但是我觉得那个地方不怎么吸引我。

非常漂亮的建筑,内部看起来金碧辉煌。很喜欢这些艺术品,不过觉得室内有点儿暗。教堂是免费的,不过会收捐赠款,花了14元人民币围着圆屋顶走了一圈。你可以乘电梯上去,到屋顶后会发现景色棒极了。

漂亮的教堂,位于河水的Pest一面。外面就有咖啡吧和酒吧,可以吃小吃。教堂前面有大片广场。很容易找到。布达佩斯(Budapest)提供免费的旅行者地图,有所有的旅游景点。

在布达佩斯的最后一个晚上我们去参加了一场演奏会。教堂很宏伟,值得参观。演奏会主要就是为了愉悦游客,不过还是做的非常不错的。

哥特式的教堂建筑，为纪念匈牙利第一个国王圣伊斯特万而建造。周日礼拜能免费进入参观，允许拍照。外墙银灰色，尖角入云。从复古的大门进入，吱呀一声好像进入了时光隧道穿入另一个神秘的国度。据说里面保存着国王的右手。

It was cold in the church but the experience was very worthwhile. We were in a very highly decorated high ceilinged church for about 70 minutes listening to a string orchestra and soprano. Our only disappointment was that the organ was only in one piece.I am hoping to return to climb the tower.

It took 50 years to build this building, that includes a Renaissance-style coupole. There is a mosaic dome and panels illustrating the life ofKing IstvaN.

I was on the fastest ever trip to Budapest and needed to find the Post Office. Right next to the Basilica, I was told, so off I rushed. I have to confess that I was preoccupied with stamps, catching my flight, last minute packing and so was unprepared for the effect of the scale of the Basilica. It is vast and very, very beautiful. It was early and so I could not see it in detail. Do not do what I did, make sure that you visit. By the way, the PO was great and so well organised!

Buy a ticket, walk through, take your time. As in all travel, read some of the history of Budapest a you will enjoy it more. The views are stupendous.

You cannot travel to Budapest and not visit St Stephens Basilica. It dominates the central area of Pest. It has great historical significance to the Hungarians. You pay a donation of 200 HUF to enter the building - roughly 50p. The architecture and history of the building is fascinating.

The interior is beautifully ornate. I was amazed to see the paintings covering all the walls. There is a small fee, but well worth the price.

We chanced upon the Basilica at sunset. A service was about to begin so we didn't stay too long, but it was long enough to take in such a beautiful surroundings.

This is the largest church in Budapest. Saint Istvan was Hungary's first Christian king. The basilica is very ornate and beautiful. We pre booked an organ concert and it was simply incredible. Miklos Teleki was the organist who graduated from the Liszt Academy of Music. The soloist sang Ave Maria and it was absolutely glorious. The performance lasted 70 minutes and I hated to have it be over. Pieces from Mozart, Vivaldi, Liszt, Schubert, Bach, and Schumann were performed. With the backdrop of the ornate altar and the marvelous music, it was an evening to remember for a long time.

St. Stephen's Basilica towers above the Budapest skyline from all sides. Walking straight up from the Danube and you arrive at the very impressive front of the Basilica. There were no crowds when I was there and I walked straight in. It is a Catholic Church that has daily Mass and various other religious ceremonies. It was a voluntary donation at the entrance to the inner Basilica and a mandatory donation to climb up to the dome (about 2 euro). The inside is spectacular with highly ornate stained glass and a very decorative organ. I was fortunate enough to witness the singing of local children in preparation for their First Holy Communion. It truly continued the wonderful tradition of music in Hungary and was just magical. After climbing to the top of the dome, the view over Budapest was great, but there was quite a haze the day I was there. It was the inside of the Basilica that really did it for me. Wonderful.
