The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Budapest has a rich history and unique features. Today, the site is mostly an open-air ruin, with only the bell tower and partial walls remaining. Yes, the Tower….believe me it’s worth climbing the 170 steps to the top via a spiral staircase—the tower offers stunning panoramic views of Budapest’s iconic buildings and the nearby Buda Hills. It’s an ideal spot for photographers, with windows offering views in all directions. At night, the bell tower is beautifully illuminated, making it a striking sight against the Budapest skyline and adding to the ambiance of the historic Castle District

The Mary Magdalene Tower in Budapest’s Castle District is a stunning remnant of the city’s medieval past. Originally part of a 13th-century church, the tower stands tall, offering a glimpse into Hungary’s rich history. Though the church was mostly destroyed during WWII, the tower remains and has been beautifully preserved. Climbing to the top rewards you with breathtaking views of the city, and the Gothic-Baroque architecture adds a unique charm to this historical landmark.

Loads of stairs! The view is alright, but the Basilica in the city has a far better view. Interesting if you care about the history of the city though and its development. As well as architecture and structures like this one.

The Church of Mary Magdalene itself was built in the 13th century and its exceptionally unfortunate doom is a perfect image of the similarly unlucky history of Hungary. After suffering severe damage during World War II and after being closed to the public for decades, the tall and reconstructed tower welcome visitors again and provides an extraordinary panorama with views to some of the most important buildings of Budapest.

Gorgeous old church ruins with a restored tower that offers stunning views. With a very low entry fee of 1500 HUF, it's absolutely worth climbing the 172 steps to the top just for the view.
