Christmas Markets

Holiday spirit sparkles across Hungary with Christmas markets in Budapest and large cities in the countryside, so get ready for a vacation filled with a jolly vibe!

Culinary delights await no matter which Christmas market you stumble onto, delicious smells of traditional stuffed cabbage, chimney cake and spicy mulled wine linger in the air. There are plenty of wintertime merchandise and hand crafted delicacies to choose from, not to mention all the pretty lights and small decorations that will make you want to keep documenting your journey.

Aria Hotel Budapest is located at the heart of the city, right next to St Stephan’s Basilica. The nearest market is actually a few steps away from our door, in front of the Basilica. The whole Christmas market is centered by a small ice-skating rink open to children, while the biggest attraction is a 3D light show projected onto the façade of the Basilica every hour after sunset.

Budapest’s biggest Christmas is located on the Vörösmarty Square – only a few minutes walking distance from Aria – usually this is the one that gets featured among Europe’s most beautiful holiday-season fairs year after year. Countless drinking and dining options, hand made souvenirs, creative gift ideas and occasional live music will get in your holiday mood for sure.
