On 14 November, the capital will welcome the opening of its two grand Christmas fairs: the 15th Jubilee Advent Basilica and the Vörösmarty Square’s Vörösmarty Classic Xmas.

Budapest Christmas fairs set to open next week

For 15 years now, Advent Basilica at Saint Stephen’s Square has been a festive highlight. This market has claimed the title of Europe’s best Christmas fair four times and was even voted the best-ever European Christmas fair in 2024, organisers announced in their Tuesday statement to MTI.

In front of the basilica, visitors will once again discover a carefully curated selection of Hungarian artisan crafts alongside a delightful array of gourmet treats.
