Photo of the Week – St. Stephan’s Basilica, Budapest

St Stephan's Basilica Budapest

This Roman Catholic church is Budapest’s largest, overlooking the bustling Szt. István Square which is just a short walk from Budapest’s main point of reference, the Danube river.  The church itself attracts thousands of visitors each due to the fact that it houses Hungary’s most prized relic – The mummified fist of St Stephan, Hungary’s first King. But if preserved flesh ain’t your thing  there’s plenty to do nearby – The surrounding square is home to many cocktail bar or cafe filled with hip young locals so it’s the perfect spot to sit down, relax and watch the world go by after a hard day sightseeing.
