Christmas Market at Vörösmarty Square to start next week – here are the changes, PHOTOS
Change language:
Last year, after the novel coronavirus pandemic hit the world, many events and venues were cancelled in order to help curb the spread of the virus. Such was the case with the iconic Christmas markets of Budapest. This year, despite the fourth wave of the pandemic, it seems that these iconic events will be held, with a few extra precautionary steps.
Inforstart reported that the Budapest Municipality will organise the Christmas Market in the usual spot on Vörösmarty Square, starting next week, on 19 November.
There will be a few changes, however, as Csaba Faix, the leader of the Budapest Festival and Tourism Centre, highlighted.
From November 19, Vörösmarty Square will host the iconic Christmas Market which will be open for 43 days, all the way until Christmas and a while after, up until December 31. Csaba Faix, the leader of the Budapest Festival and Tourism Centre, told Infostart that following last year’s cancellation of the event, this year, they will put a stronger emphasis on a few things, including the safety of partakers.
The venue could only be visited by people who have their immunity certificate.

Csaba said that the entire venue will be surrounded by barriers and three – or four on more crowded days – gates will ensure fast monitoring. They expect this will prevent long waiting times for people who would like to partake in the festivities.
Times we Live.
Commendation – to the responsible authority – and all associated – who have set these guidelines of entry – in the interest of the Health & Safety – of ALL.
Hungarians are OBEDIENT and Respectful of Law.
It will be joyous to see the Christmas Market – functioning this year.
The smiles on the “little ones” faces – the angelic innocence of there smiles – at all the festive lighting and activities provided in Vorosmarty Square – warms our Hearts.
We hope ALL the Christmas Markets throughout Hungary – that they this year are seen in a slightly different perspective, that they are viewed by us – the Citizens – to play – an IMPORTANT role – that sees us ALL – drawn closer to-gether – growing stronger in our support of each other – steadfast – and remaining united – as we “soldier on” – living with this novel coronavirus in Hungary.
That is a wish – that will be placed under our Christmas tree this year – and with CONFIDENCE – my wish will come true.
Stay Safe & Well – All.
Vaccination – Saves Lives.
We are visiting Hungary from USA (both born in Budapest) we are completely vaccinated against COVID and have our booster shot with Pfizer. We have our shot record but no immaturity card. Will we be allowed to attend?
Judit,
Welcome Home.
My advice – give the US Embassy a call – in Budapest.
You should get direction and an opinion from them.
You should be permitted to join us -Hopefully.
Enjoy your vacation.
Good cheers
May everyone remain safe and healthy and once again enjoy the Budapest Christmas Market which was very much missed last year. Lots of festive cheer and love to all.
