Vorosmarty Square is one of Budapest’s most famous public squares, so it’s no surprise that this historic location hosts one of the most popular Budapest Christmas markets during the festive season!
St Stephen’s Basilica is one of the most famous landmarks in Budapest, and at Christmastime, this historic 19th-century Catholic church is spectacularly lit up by festive projections and animations.
Brush up on your Hungarian because compared to other parts of the city, District III (as it’s officially known) doesn’t see quite so many tourists. That’s great at Christmastime because it gives Obuda’s Christmas market a much more local feel!
At Christmastime, Castle Hill is beautifully decked out with festive lights, Christmas trees, and Advent decorations that bring the often-snowy streets to life in the dead of winter.
You’ll smell the sweet scent of baked gingerbread and the spicy aroma of grilled paprika sausages long before you reach the Christmas Market at Varoshaza Park.
