The downtown is full of christmas markets and you can always warm up in a coffee house or over a bowl of Goulash soup. We\u00a0 hope our little guide helps you in planning the perfect winter trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Christmas Markets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Budapest is famously known for the<strong> best Christmas Markets in Europe<\/strong>. The two main ones are at<strong> St. Stephen Basilica<\/strong> and at V\u00f6r\u00f6smarty Square. You will find endless stands of craft goods and festive local street food like chimney cake, <strong>grilled sausages <\/strong>and<strong> roasted chestnuts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fairs are both located in the <strong>center<\/strong>,&nbsp; so you can easily walk to one another in a few minutes,&nbsp; while sipping mulled wine to keep you warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Christmas markets<\/strong> are open from November 18th until December 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>City Park Ice Rink<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lake of the City Park in winter time turns into a huge outdoor <strong>ice rink<\/strong>. With the Christmas lights and <strong>Vajdahunyad Castle<\/strong> in the background it\u2019s a truly magical sight. There are many fun winter things to do around town, but ice skating at <strong>V\u00e1rosliget<\/strong> is definitely one of our favourites. Skate rental is available on spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong><em>Budapest, Olof Palme road . 5, 1146<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pozsonyi street<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main street in the trendy XIII. district, favoured by the locals. Walking down from <strong>J\u00e1szai Mari square<\/strong> you will find a huge number of new-wave coffee houses with <strong>christmassy desserts<\/strong>. If you are craving for hot chocolate or cake this is your place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Andrassy Avenue and Fashion Street<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the <strong>UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> Site in Budapest, <em>Andr\u00e1ssy boulevard<\/em> is one of the most beautiful Christmas attractions. The boulevard is decorated with lights and a huge Christmas tree, usually from December 1st. It is one of the main venues for celebrations and parties on&nbsp;<strong>New Year&#8217;s Eve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fashion street runs between\u00a0<strong>De\u00e1k Ferenc square<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>V\u00f6r\u00f6smarty Square<\/strong>. This street has become one of the main tourist attractions during Christmas thanks to its spectacular decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Szentendre<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Szentendre is a romantic town by the Danube only 40 minutes from Budapest. It\u2019s filled with museums, <strong>art galleries<\/strong>, Hungarian <strong>designer shops <\/strong>and <strong>restaurants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the holidays they decorate it with lights and small Christmas markets can be found all over the old town. Visit the Christmas Museum and Shop in the <strong>Hubay House<\/strong> (<em>Szentendre, Bercs\u00e9nyi street 1., 2000.<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of the year again and Budapest in the holiday season is truly magical.
