Highlights

Your tour begins with a glimpse into the State Opera House, followed by a stroll along the decorated Andrássy Avenue


Budapest's Christmas fairs have been chosen as the best in Europe for several years, thanks to their focus on handcrafted products from local artisans and small manufacturers. Your guide will show you around City Hall Courtyard, where you can admire the ice skating rink and visit charity points that showcase how Hungarians donate to people in need during the Christmas season.


Strolling along Fashion Street, you'll reach the first market at Vörösmarty Square, where you can enjoy the famous chimney cake and warm up with a cup of mulled wine.


Along the Danube, you'll take in breathtaking views of the Buda Castle District and Matthias Church before arriving at St. Stephen's Basilica, home to Budapest's largest illuminated Christmas market. Your guide will then lead you inside this magnificent Roman Catholic church for a tour.
The tour concludes in front of the Basilica
