Budapest At Christmas
Budapest At Christmas
When they're asked 'what is the ideal time to visit a place', most people respond 'summer' without a second thought. This could be right for locations with extreme weather conditions, sea sides or mountains which only posses a static beauty, but there is not much else to do when swimming or tracking isn't an option. But a modern city has different faces in every season, while great public events and beautiful street-arts can make a lively capital at winter as attractive as ever.
Budapest is a wonderful choice for a winter holiday, especially before Christmas, when the city is filled with melodious carols, spicy fragrances and joyful spirit. You haven't seen the place in its full beauty if you haven't seen its brightly lit street lamps, astonishing buildings sparkling from coloured lights, candle-lights and torches reflected on display cabinets of famous designer shops. A big city at winter becomes more intimate, warm and welcoming, its streets turn into genuine places for the public, locations to linger on, to meet friends and befriend strangers.
Budapest's best known Christmas place Vrsmarty square
Only a few steps away from the banks of the Danube, where you can see the glamorous sight of the night-time river and the opposite Buda Castle glistening under the stars. Vrsmarty square also host the largest and prettiest Christmas fair, with delicious gingerbreads and spicy sausages cooked on open grills, hand-crafted and folk art gifts to purchase for your loved ones. There are also dance and puppet show performances, delighting sights to enjoy while drinking some hot mulled wine and eating krts kalcs, a traditional Hungarian pastry roasted on charcoal fire and caramelized with butter and sugar.
But you can spend a leisure day in the nature as well. The snow-covered city looks so magnificent from the nearby Erzsbet-hill, which has a chair-lift providing a breathtaking view, or the Jnos-hill, a skiing place reachable with a unique cogwheell train and a small children's railway train too, among the usual transportationdevices..
If you're not fan of the cold weather, you can go to one of the abundance of theartes, cafs or tea houses in the vicinity of Andrssy Avenue and Oktogon square, the Broadway of Pest. The Opera House is marvelous from the outside and inside too, and so are the real remedies of the cold: the baths and spas. The Rudas Bath also has a Sparty event every month, where deejays and veejays provide the best music and light shows for a water party.
