    Pick up a coffee or a light drink at Bistro. It opens early and stays open late, so you can grab something and settle in before the main event.

    Our Lady of Hungary Basilica

    Walk to Our Lady of Hungary Basilica. The walk from the bistro is short and easy. Take a moment to look at the Baroque friary and the copy of the holy-picture from Czestochowa inside.

    Szobortartó fülke

    Head to Szobortartó fülke. This is just a 5-minute walk from the Basilica in the SE direction. It offers a good vantage point to see the sky change color as the sun dips toward the WSW.
