About the market they wrote the following:

“Vörösmarty Square is at its most enchanting at Christmas when it comes alive with twinkling lights and tinkling market stalls. Over 100 traders set up in the square for more than a month, selling local trinkets, delicious sausages, stews and funnel cakes. There’s always a dizzying calendar of events to enjoy too, from craft workshops to children’s puppet shows.”
