Best of Budapest & Hungary

Dreams will come true at the 9th most beautiful Christmas market in Europe until January 1. Budapest’s Basilica Square turns into a festive wonderland, evoking the sights and sounds of Christmas.

The organizers have made every effort to present a premier selection of gifts and delicacies, gourmet foods and spirits. The activities throughout the 5 weeks will also include cultural programs, flash mobs, charity concerts, workshops and more. Each day the ice rink will be welcoming children under 14 years of age, with ice-skate rentals available and skating lessons during the weekends, all free of charge. In addition, every evening the facade of the Basilica will be flooded with lights and you will be able to admire one of the largest 3D light paintings in Central Europe. The monumental 3D mapping show will start daily a half an hour after dusk. Let yourself be enchanted! Take the time to stop and relax a little amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life and make the most of the holiday season. Bring your friends and colleagues, grab your family and come to the Basilica.
