It is that time of the year again! The Christmas Markets in Budapest this year opened their gates on the 18th of November.

After taking one of our paid or free walking tours in Budapest, it is a good idea to have a nice hot cup of mulled wine or try some of the Hungarian dishes like Lángos (Hungarian deep fried “pizza” with sour cream, cheese and other toppings), Töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage) or Kürtőskalács (Chimney cake) at one of these locations!

Some other Christmassy delights for your eyes and souls in Budapest 🙂

Budapest will again be decorating some of its trams in festive lights and décor. Take a ride on the Christmas tram (you can use your regular public transport single ticket or pass) from the 25th of November on, until at least the 23rd  of December this year. Our favorite routes are: tram Nr. 2 along the Pest side embankment of the river Danube and trams Nr. 47, 48, 49 across the green Liberty Bridge.
