Four reasons to spend New Year’s Eve in Budapest
Change language:
2020 is almost here, and a brand-new year starts with new opportunities and adventures. On December 31, many people decide to celebrate the end of 2019 by throwing a party somewhere. The Hungarian capital is an excellent choice to spend your New Year’s Eve celebration with many programs for those who would like to party and for others who would like a simple celebration. Here are the top four reasons why you should say good-bye to 2019 in Budapest.
Christmas Markets
It might be odd to mention Christmas markets first as a New Year’s Eve program. Believe it or not, the major markets of Budapest still function on the last day of 2019. For example, the Christmas market on Vörösmarty Square is open on this night until 4.00 am (January 1) while the one at St. Stephen’s Basilica until 3 am. For those who did not have an opportunity to visit these markets, it is now an excellent program to wait for midnight with some delicious meals and a glass of mulled wine.
Swimming all night long
Yes, it is possible! At the Aquaworld Budapest, the facility prepares with an amazing and spectacular night bathing for those who would like to welcome 2020 in a swimming pool. Aquaworld offers fire shows, concerts, and dinner for the night of December 31. The party starts at 9.30 pm and lasts until 2.30 am (January 1). The entrance fee is not cheap (20,000 HUF [60 EUR]) but gives you an experience only available once a year.
