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.
