The Neoclassical exterior and lavish interior are striking, and the mummified right hand of St. Stephen I (the Holy Right) is preserved here. The dome observation deck delivers a 360-degree city panorama. The square in front hosts summer concerts and a winter Christmas market. Church free (donation encouraged); observation deck about HUF 2,000. 3-minute walk from Metro M1 Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út.

An elevator makes the observation deck easily accessible. The Christmas market season (Nov-Dec) transforms the square beautifully.
