Matthias Church (Mátyás Templom) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Matthias Church in 2026?

It currently costs 3,100 Hungarian forints for a standard adult admission ticket to Matthias Church, or 4,700 forints if you add an audio guide (available in English). Students and senior citizens get discounted entry at just 2,500 forints per person, or 4,100 with audio guide; bring valid ID.

Q: Is visiting Matthias Church worth it?

Yes—architecture and history buffs will especially appreciate a visit to Matthias Church as it’s one of Budapest’s most visually striking structures. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this neo-Gothic landmark sits atop the city’s Castle Hill and is known as the former coronation site for generations of Hungarian kings.

Q: What is the best month to visit Matthias Church?

That depends. May through September are typically the most pleasant months for visiting Budapest in terms of weather. However, Matthias Church hosts classical music concerts throughout the year and makes for a great rainy-day destination. You can also attend special celebrations and masses during Easter and Christmas holidays.

Q: Is Matthias Church good for kids?

Yes, Castle Hill is generally a good option for families. Don’t miss Fisherman’s Bastion, with turrets and towers that children can climb through (complete with panoramic views). Matthias Church also offers a special family package for up to two adults and three kids, plus free admission for kids 6 and under.

Q: Does Matthias Church have a dress code?

Yes, Matthias Church is still an active site of worship, and modest dress for both men and women is expected. That means no exposed shoulders or chests, and pants, skirts, or dresses should cover past the knees. If you’re wearing a hat, take it off before entering the church.
