Forbes: Holidays in Europe – Beautiful cities with the best Christmas markets
Change language:
Christmas is getting closer and closer, and many European cities, including Budapest, opened up their traditional Christmas markets. The aromas of mulled wine, cookies, gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, and cinnamon spice perfume the air, and festivals of lights illuminate the old streets and plazas.
Forbes reported that the Advent Feast at the Basilica in Budapest is one of the favourite Christmas markets in Hungary and one of the three top Christmas markets in Europe. The organisers of this market work hard every year to make sure that the Christmas spirit sparkles in front of Budapest’s iconic St. Stephen’s Basilica.

The Christmas market welcomes everyone with handcrafted gifts and Hungarian and international foods such as the local favourite, “flódni,” and the famous Hungaricum, the chimney cake. The market also offers ice skating for children in a central rink that surrounds a towering Christmas tree. Moreover, even Santa Claus himself goes shopping at the Advent Feast at St. Stephen’s Basilica.
