Christmas Markets in Budapest

Jingle bells!

Every year when it is time for christmas on big squares open up christmas markets. Te flair of a christmas market in Budapest is not as good as in e.g. Germany but it is nice to go there, have a hot wine, something to eat and just enjoy the atmosphere around. You also can do some smaller christmas shopping on most of the markets. Mainly the christmas market is used to get a hot wine, meet with friends and have fun. Here are some good christmas markets in Budapest. 

Christmas market Vörösmaty tér

The Vörösmaty tér is in the center of Budapest, in the middle of the touristic area on the end of Vaci utca. Usually you don’t see many Hungarians in Vaci utca as it is mainly made for tourists but in the christmas time Vörösmaty tér hosts the nicest and I think biggest christmas market in Budapest. Next to the typical hot wine and sausages you find nice little shops with all kind of christmas related things. I will be there.

Jokai tér christmas market

A small but nice christmas market on the opposite site of Liszt Ferenc tér. This christmas market closes quiet early and the single places for hot wine or food are not as nice as for example on Vörösmaty tér. Nevertheless if you are around there have a look or go to the opposite site on the Liszt Ferenc tér christmas market.

Liszt Ferenc tér christmas market

Usually on Liszt Ferenc tér you find outside a lot of chairs and tables from the restaurants and bars but in the winter time it is obviously too cold to sit outside. So the place is used for the christmas market. I have never been really there, just walked across but it looked to me like a salespoint for touristic stuff like typical Hungarian blankets and so on.
