Visit Budapest During The Holidays And See Genuine Christmas Spirit

By Markus N. Wuethrich

If you're looking for a fun and original Christmas vacation give Budapest a shot. I'm about to go on this trip with my family for the third time and we have always had an amazing time. The Christmas market that is located in Budapest is a long running tradition as well as a high quality event and is very popular to Hungarians and tourists alike.

Budapest's official Christmas Market promises each year to be an atmospheric special occasion for the people of Budapest and visitors from outside the city as well as from abroad, well worthy of the Christmas spirit. The market, which is the main out-of-season tourist event, is equally popular amongst Hungarian visitors and foreign tourists, who often travel to Budapest specifically to visit the Christmas Market. By keeping standards high and maintaining a wide and expanding variety of programs it can now be stated that one of the largest events in Budapest in December has grown to an event that is internationally well-known and respected. The location is very attractive as Vorosmarty Square lies in the very center of Budapest.

The Christmas market features many traditional Hungarian craftsmen who showcase their products and talents with the products they sell. You're guaranteed to find goods to purchase that are made of high quality materials such as leather, intricate porcelain and cut glass. One extra added bonus is that the hand made products are guaranteed to be of high quality as the Hungarian Society of Folk Arts guarantees everything sold.

The market also has a culinary. Don't forget to taste traditional Hungarian food and cakes: strudel, grilled sausages and meat, Christmas cookies, kurtos kalacs (hollow, cylinder-shaped pastry with different coatings: sugar, walnut). If you get tired, have a cup of coffee with a delicious Hungarian cake in Gerbeaud Cafe.

As part of this year's series of Christmas programs in Budapest, it is also planned to host the real Santa Claus from Finland, and who will be met with great interest from the children visiting the square, as he can personally listen to their wishes. An inseparable part of the Budapest Christmas' series of programs is the Advent Calendar.

The Christmas market of Budapest is a spectacular event that is held in the center of the city, in the Vorosmarty square, and is easily within the top ten Christmas markets in Europe. A great many of the visitors plan their trips based on the fact they will get to attend the Market.

As with any well run tourist destination, you will not have any difficulty finding Budapest cheap hotels if you look on the web in advance of your trip.

Whether you're a tourist or a local of Budapest, the Christmas fair is an event that is liked by everyone. If you are looking for something that is very special and can't be found anywhere else for your loved one, come find it at the Budapest Christmas fair. - 29948
