Christmas and Advent markets in Hungary

Christmas markets in Budapest

The Christmas markets in Budapest are simply amazing.

They are considered among the most beautiful Christmas markets in all of Europe. Their magnificence is determined not just by their size but also by the unique concept of the fair, the program’s richness, the wide range of attractions, and the fantastic experiences provided by all the products sold at the sales stand.

The food options available here are a gastronomic paradise. You are not limited to just various recipes of mulled wine. You can also try multiple specialties that you’ve probably never tried before. Only carefully selected products with a regional character are sold here, so there’s no need to worry about low-quality items.

In addition to the food, there are also many fun activities to enjoy, such as the most extensive 3D light painting in Central Europe or ice skating on the beautifully decorated square, which looks even more atmospheric after dark.

Christmas markets in Debrecen

The Christmas markets in Debrecen are genuinely spectacular. One of the main attractions is the variety of exciting products available in the many stands. One must-visit is the Ferris wheel called the Debrecen Eye, which stands at a height of 45 meters and offers a breathtaking view of the magnificent decorations. Along with the shopping, visitors can also enjoy a range of cultural programs and activities, such as skating on the ice surface or relaxing in heated cabins, which offer a welcome escape from the freezing weather.

Christmas markets in Győr

At the end of November, visitors can head to the Christmas market in Győr, which will be adorned with festive lights. The market will provide an authentic Christmas atmosphere, with the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, a range of colorful programs, and many surprises for children and adults.

The monastery provides a beautiful environment with restaurant facilities.
