This deal is for a weekend trip to the Budapest Christmas Markets with flights from Dublin and Shannon and 4 nights in a 4* hotel from €319 pp!
Please note: there is not concrete dates for the Budapest Christmas Markets, however it usually starts from the end of November to New Year’s Day, which is why I selected a date in December.
Budapest is renowned for hosting one of Europe’s best Christmas Markets. Budapest Christmas Fair and Winter Festival usually starts from the end of November to New Year’s Day. The two main markets in the city are at Vörösmarty Square and St. Stephen’s Basilica. If you get tired of the market, then there are also the hot spring pools at Szechenyi Baths or take a river cruise along the Danube.
