Budapest is renowned for hosting one of Europe’s best Christmas Markets. Budapest Christmas Fair and Winter Festival usually starts from mid-November to New Year’s Day. It takes place in Vorosmarty Square in the heart of the city and is considered the best Christmas Market in the city. There is also the Advent Feast at the Basilica, which occurs in front of Budapest most famous cathedral, St Stephen’s Basilica. The dates for the Advent Feast at the Basilica still need to be confirmed. If you get tired of the markets, then there are also the hot spring pools at Szechenyi Baths or take a river cruise along the Danube.
