Amazing - This Cathedral is one of the most beautiful ones. Luckily we bought the ticket online and were here at 10 when it opens to beat the crowd. Its the must to do in Budapest.

Amazing Basilica - Absolutely beautiful! Very ornate. Be sure to include the dome and treasury. The views from the top were amazing. Be aware that there are 2 elevators so that you can avoid most stairs. We didn’t know that and climbed over a hundred stairs to get to the top after taking the elevator that stopped at the 3rd floor. Purchase online and skip the line at the ticket office.

Overall good to visit... - Overall good to visit basilica. Paying extra to visit Treasury and going up for a veiw is questionable and also impossible for people with mobility problems.

Using Viator ticket - St Stephen’s is beautiful! There was no line when we arrived, but there were several people inside. In order for the Viator tickets to be accepted you must first cross the side street(to the right as you face the church) and show your booking number at the office-which is clearly marked. This was very easy and we were then handed a receipt to use as our ticket which they scanned outside the entrance to the church.

All right, beautiful - Nothing wrong, only small downside: tickets must be exchanged at the ticket booth and do not allow to enter directly, which is a shame.

Go direct through gave attraction - Bought the voucher from Viator to skip the queue and whilst was more expensive than direct from the attraction thought it was worth it to avoid the ticket box. When we got to the entrance we were advised we had to go to the ticket office and get a paper voucher so we still had to queue and paid more than we needed too additionally didn’t appear to be a ‘skip the queue line’ The attraction itself was worth a visit ☺️
