Budapest's MOST POPULAR Christmas Market has CHANGED, Here's HOW | 2024 Hungary Travel Guide

Budapest's Most Popular Christmas Market is Back in 2024 and this time there are some Changes that were announced by the Organizers. So we visited the Market on Opening day to find out what's New at the Market, what has changed and What are the prices like this year?

Christmas Markets in Budapest have become one of the most popular attractions of the Winter Season. The one in front of the St Stephens Basilica has been winning multiple awards for Best Christmas Market in Europe over the past few years, but is it really as good as they say on the web?

We also share some useful tips and things to be cautious about, so when you visit this Christmas Market, you'll have an excellent time in the end!

I appreciate the example of asking for the daily discount meal in hungarian. I can speak, not very well, but it's helpful to hear the proper way to formulate the question.

[skubikajack]

Your videos never disappoint. You are great. And your strudels look amazing. For me, it would be strudel heaven, which I love. Thanks for your time, which you dedicate to making videos for us. Greetings from the Czech Republic

Hi Ákos, I was in Budapest for nine days including last weekend. I can honestly say Hungary has the best food and best public. I am visually impaired and use a white cane. People on the road and on public transport are so observant and respectful, no one bumped into me or tried to squeeze pass me unlike many cities in other countries. I was so impressed while staying in Budapest. I also went to Christmas market in front of the basilica, although being expensive, the grilled sausages and stuffed cabbage were worth trying. Maybe you already know, but I discovered a very nice, good priced restaurant called Kupak on Dob ut 2. Especially I loved lecso and chicken paprikas there. Always thanks a lot for great videos.

My favourite Budapest boy...Respect & Thank you sir..
