Budapest

The enchanting capital city of Hungary, known for its stunning architecture and thermal baths.

🎄 One of our top 10 European Christmas markets

Every Christmas time, Budapest turns into a winter wonderland, with festive celebrations on every street corner. Spend time at the two main markets in the Hungarian capital: Vörösmarty Square for the traditional stalls and mulled wine, or St. Stephen’s Basilica Christmas market for light projections and 3D shows. Warm up at Széchenyi thermal baths if you’re feeling a little chilly – the water is kept at a balmy 26°c.
