Budapest reveals a whole new face during Advent time: the city is filled with decorative lights and the scent and melodies of Christmas. There are also lovely Christmas fairs in many parts of the city, all of which are truly wonderful.
Szaloncukor, the Hungarian Christmas candy known as "salon candy," is a staple of the holiday season here and among Hungarians worldwide. While flavors and recipes have evolved over the past century, it remains a symbol of festive traditions.
Budapest’s Christmas markets opened on November 14, signaling the start of the city’s festive season. Since then Vörösmarty tér and the area around St. Stephen’s Basilica become lively hubs of holiday activity, with sparkling lights, the aroma of mulled wine, and the sounds of carols filling the air.
Half of Hungarians have already begun their Christmas shopping or plan to start in November, while roughly a third expect to hit the shops in early December, according to a new nationwide survey by Yettel examining gift-giving habits.
