The Basilica of Esztergom, Hungary's largest church, is a majestic landmark offering grand architecture and panoramic views. While the main basilica is generally accessible for solo exploration, optional guided tours or audio guides are recommended to fully appreciate its history, art, crypt, and treasury. Entry to the main church is typically free, but separate tickets costing a few thousand HUF (or a combined ticket) are required for the Dome Lookout, Treasury, and Crypt, making the approximate cost for a full visit modest. Plan for a typical visit duration of 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on how many sections you wish to explore. The basilica is open year-round, though operating hours may vary seasonally and respectful attire covering shoulders and knees is advised. The climb to the dome offers breathtaking vistas over the Danube and surrounding region, making it a highlight for many visitors.
