Budapest for Christmas is a very fun and unique trip. My family is going to do it for the third time and it is always amazing. The Christmas Market in Budapest is not only a tradition, but an event of high standard, which is very popular to both Hungarians and foreign visitors as well.

If you’re looking for a place that exudes Christmas spirit you should take in Budapest’s official Christmas Market that is held every year; no matter where you’re from you’ll be thrilled at the level of Christmas spirit all around you. The main tourist event in Budapest is the Market and is a popular event for Hungarians and foreign travelers to travel to and often most travel specifically in order to visit the Christmas Market. The Christmas Market is one of the largest events in Budapest and has become internationally well-known and respected due to the ever changing high quality programs that it boasts. The location in which the Christmas Market is held in is the very beautiful square known as Vorosmarty square and is situated right in the center of Budapest.

Traditional Hungarian craftsmen show their talents and sell their hand made products. Only the top Hungarian craftspeople are invited to Budapest’s Christmas Market, so the intricate porcelain, cut glass and leather goods, for instance, are of the highest quality. All products are hand-made and the Hungarian Society of Folk Arts stands by their quality.

Don’t forget about the culture and food of Hungary and if you’re at the Christmas market in Budapest, you will not be able to avoid it. Almost everywhere you look, you’ll be able to find traditional food and baked goods such as strudel, grilled meats and sausages, Christmas cookies, kurtos kalacs (hollow, cylinder-shaped pastry with different coatings; these are absolutely delicious); be sure to try out the amazing food while you’re there. The day could begin to become long so stop by the Gerbeaud Cafe and grab a cup of Hungarian Coffee and slice of delectable Hungarian cake.

This year’s Christmas program is also going to feature the real Santa Claus who is specifically flown in from Finland. Surely your children will be interested while visiting the square, because now they can personally tell Santa what they would like for Christmas! The Advent Calendar is an important aspect of the Budapest Christmas series of programs and will be featured also.

This amazing festival is located in Vorosmarty Square which is situated in the heart of the city and is easily among the ten best Christmas markets in Europe. Many tourists plan a vacation to Budapest just so they can experience the market.

Just like any well run tourist destination, you will not have any trouble locating a Budapest cheap hotel if you search online sometime before your holiday.
