About this activity

Meet your guide by the Opera House before heading to two of Budapest's Christmas markets. Along the way, pass the bustling shopping street of Andrassy Boulevard, with holiday decorations illuminating the area. Head inside St. Stephen’s Basilica, one of the largest churches in Hungary.

Afterward, make your way through the Christmas markets, browsing the stalls filled with handicrafts and local delicacies such as lángos (deep fried flatbread) and kürtőskalács (chimney cake). Stop in a nearby restaurant to warm up with a 3-tier winetasting, sipping some of Hungary's most beloved blends.

At the end of your tour, enjoy a complimentary mulled wine before parting ways with your guide at the biggest Christmas market in Vorosmarty Square. Here you can continue to explore independently, check off some holiday shopping, and see the popular shopping area of Vaci Street nearby.

The walking tours run with small groups and generally do not have more than 15 participants. This makes them interactive and personal and gives you plenty of chances to ask questions and get to know your guide.

We reserve the right to alter and change tour programs without prior notice due to construction, city closures for events, festivals.

This tour was GREAT! Our young tour guide was just so sweet, knowledgeable, and nice, Kriszti Kovcs. Ask for her if you can The wine was good and the desert was nice. The Christmas market is so beautiful. We learned a lot and had a great time!

Preceded by a Hungarian wine tasting and tutorial in a charming off street local book and media shop, followed by a fascinating visit to St Stephen's cathedral where perchance we were privileged to hear a rehearsal of the choir performing a Christmas cantata. The Christmas market was our favorite of mArkets visited in four countries largely made so by the sharing of personal favorite stalls and their offerings by our guide.

We really enjoyed our tour, The wine testing was really good as it was held in a cellar which gave it atmosphere. Our guides English was very good and her knowledge of Budapest was excellent.
