  • Christmas fair on Vorosmarty Square

And we arrived to the best-known Christmas market in Hungary and probably one of the most famous in the world.

It is the oldest Christmas fair in Budapest and one of the more special and authentic.

It's found between The 10 Most Beautiful Christmas Markets in the World.

Although in recent years the number of posts has decreased a bit, I must admit that It is a pleasure to walk through its little stalls while appreciating the happiness of the little ones and the impression of the adults walking through the square and contemplating Budapest., with its buildings, in the background.

Opening date: November 16 to January 01, 2022

Do not forget to stop at one of the stalls where you can buy the famous Hungarian sweet Kürtöskalácsbetter known like Trdelnik in the Czech Republic. It comes to be the same with some variations, but just as delicious. After trying this sweet you will not be the same.

*Name Kürtöskalács I have been looking for it on the internet, clearly, since it is impossible to pronounce it and, even more, to memorize it. So ask how you can.

The Kurjccjksbvjk dessert (I won't write it anymore eh) is about a sweet dough made on the grill and sprinkled with nuts (Our favorite is cinnamon and almonds) It can be filled, for those with a sweet tooth, with chocolate or Nutella.

Covid measures at the Budapest Christmas Markets
