The magic of Christmas in Budapest: lights, advent fairs and special winter events
The festive spirit has already arrived in Budapest, and the city is sparkling under the golden lights and Christmas decorations. Christmas is a celebration of love and joy, and Budapest brings a special magic to its residents and visitors during this time of year.
The magic of lights and decorations:
Budapest is one of the most magical cities during the Christmas period, when its buildings, bridges and squares are aglow with festive lights. The illuminated trees of Váci utca and Deák square, the Christmas tree in front of the Parliament and the light decorations along the Danube bank all contribute to the magical atmosphere of the city. Let's walk the streets and enjoy the sparkle that accompanies you around every corner.
Advent fairs:
Budapest is famous for its Advent markets, which create a real Christmas atmosphere. Vörösmarty Square, the area around the Basilica and Christmas Tree Square are all home to cosy stalls. Here you can find the best cakes, mulled wine, handcrafted gifts and everything you need to get ready for Christmas.
Streetcar:
If you want to experience something special, don't miss out on a ride on the light rail. During the festive season, tram 2 will be dressed up in a special outfit and will cruise the city along the banks of the Danube. The tram is not only a means of transport, but also a way to have fun and relax at Christmas.
Ice skating on the artificial ice rink in the Stadtligeti:
The City Park Ice Rink is one of the winter season's favourite venues, where the Christmas spirit is even more intense. Families and friends alike can enjoy ice-skating on the beautiful ice rink on the shores of the Városligeti lake. The illuminated trees and the surrounding buildings complete the special experience.
Christmas in Budapest offers a unique experience for those who love festive magic and community experiences. Don't miss the Advent markets, stroll through the streets full of lights and enjoy the magic of Christmas!
Happy holidays to all our dear followers!
With love,
