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.
Hungary's shops, malls, and services scale back or shut down over Christmas and New Year. Plan ahead—most supermarkets, post offices, and pharmacies close fully on key days.
Aldi Hungary runs a three-day Christmas market December 19-21 at its District XIII store parking lot (Pannónia utca 59–63), open daily 3-9 p.m. Food matches in-store prices, with all proceeds going to the Hungarian Food Bank.
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.
