Folk Christmas in Budapest
Gingerbread Christmas Tree Decoration from Hungary
Christmas time in Hungary is greatly influenced by the Hungarian folklore (such as in Christmas songs and dances, Christmas stories, Christmas decorations etc.).
Budapest Christmas Markets
The Christmas Markets in Budapest (usually open from mid-November) offer a wide range of Folk Crafts at their stalls – all handmade products carefully selected by a Professional Panel to represent some of the best contemporary handcrafts with folk motifs, among others. The Christmas Market at St Stephen’s Basilica often holds free folk concerts (programme available in November).
