Exclusive after-hours building tour inside Matthias Church. When the last visitor leaves and the heavy gates close, the church’s breathtaking space opens just for us. Step in, linger, and peek into corners off-limits to others. Expect intimate, unforgettable moments inside one of Budapest’s and Hungary’s most iconic landmarks.
Rooted in the past, we also meet the present: this nearly 800-year-old church is also the capital’s most modern sacred space. Here, medieval capitals coexist with theater tech, and 19th-century stained glass glows beside a contemporary high altar. Every detail tells the church’s story—glittering weddings, prestigious guests, coronations, and farewells. We listen to them, and to the bells that have marked the life of the church and its people, guiding us through this exclusive time travel experience.
This program is the fourth themed walk co-created by the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest and Imagine.
