The site offers adequate infrastructure of free parking and ample area to know. I recommend 3 hours to get to know the place. The town has few but good restaurants. The cost of the toll port is a little expensive.

9:30 pm– ROSARY. Followed by candlelight procession in the Prayer Area (the candlelight procession takes place every evening until the beginning of Advent; from Advent to Easter, the procession is only on Saturday and on the 12th; on Thursday, until the beginning of Advent, the rosary is followed by the Eucharistic procession).　(copied from official page, as of 6-Feb-2019.)

The hungarian Way of the Cross was a nice surprise. Huge structures (church and paved square) everywhere

Should be one of the top 10 if you are tourist and much more important if you wish to pray.
