The best Christmas fairs in rural cities of Hungary
Change language:
Although the Christmas fair at Vörösmarty Square opened almost two weeks ago already, major rural cities are preparing for the Christmas bustle as well. This is the season to be jolly, so look up the closest Hungarian town and visit their fairs, you will not regret it. Let me suggest three in three different regions of the country.
Szeged
Christmas is no half measures in Suncity; the organisers of the local advent fair told MTI that a 10-storey-high Ferris wheel would be set up at Dóm Square, but a straw labyrinth and an open-air ice-skating rink will also await the residents and guests of Szeged, Index says.
The wheel can carry 144 people.
Visitors may choose from various handmade products at the fair, but kids will find being there joyful as well, with the help of the Castle of Tales which will host a Bogyó and Babóca exhibition or the Castle Cinema and various handcrafting sessions. Due to its tremendous success, the Dome will be decorated with light painting again every Saturday in December. The Christmas fair of Szeged will open on Friday.
Pécs
The time of Advent is always special in the capital of Baranya county. The kith and kin of the city come together in the fair to taste the Christmas spirit.
