Budapest Christmas Market Holidays
The twin cities of Buda and Pest are worth a visit at any time of the year, but from 18 November until 30 December they feature great Christmas Markets too. Centred on the shopping street Vaci Utca and Heroes Square, they feature traditional Hungarian dancing and folk music, carol singing and stalls selling local specialities such as hot sausages and warm glühwein.
