Christmas markets of Budapest in detail: Christmas festival at Városháza Park, Downtown of the capital – PHOTOS

Christmas time is in the air, and people are getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and to spend the holidays with their loved ones. Budapest would not be in the real Christmas spirit without its famous and beautiful holiday markets. In this article, we would like to show you in detail what you can see and do when you visit the Christmas market of Városháza Park, Budapest.

The Városháza Park is located in the heart of Budapest and can be reached by a five-minute walk from Deák Ferenc Square where metro lines one, two and three stop. The so-called Advent and Winter Festival welcomes visitors for the 7th time in 2019. The five-week festival usually starts around mid-November, on a Friday and is on till the end of December. It is a smaller event than the official Christmas fair of the city on Vörösmarty Square but offers similarly rich cultural and family programs for both locals and tourists.

The tallest Christmas tree of the city – of 16 meters height – together with a giant Advent Wreath measuring 10 meters in diameter will also stand here in Városháza Park.
