Hello from Chicago, I’ll be there in Budapest next month so that’s the best food to have in that beautiful country, it’s going to be my first time there for Christmas
I was there too this year. I had a great time! I thought the light show with the Nutcracker theme and all the mice projected on the Basillica was brilliant.
I live in Chicago il. USA . My Great Grandparents were From Hungary. This is magical. We don't Have Christmas Markets nearly as nice as yours. Seeing this brings me back when I was a little kid.
Thank you!😁 You can use euros at some of the markets, but I’m not sure how favourable the exchange rate will be! I would exchange my euros into Hungarian forints first if I were you.🙂 Please also note that as of this year, you can only by bank card at the Vörösmarty Square Christmas market.🌲
Viki, thanks so much for sharing this video with us. I always miss Budapest and our many trips there. We have only been once during the Xmas season, back in 2012. Ironically to Vörösmarty Square.
Hi Vicki...Do they have annual Christmas toy drives in Hungary to help needy families give their kids a Christmas??? Please read the comment I posted earlier...🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
I think probably the two biggest, or most well known initiatives are called ‘Cipősdoboz’ (Shoe box) and Mikulásgyár (Santa’s Factory). Shoe box is mainly for toys and games, books, sweets or a Christmas card for children, while Santa’s Factory is for donating non-perishable food, cleaning products and toiletries to families in need and the elderly.
What are Christmas markets like in your city? Have you been to a Christmas market in Hungary? How do these two markets compare to the Christmas markets you've been to?
Well, we do, of course,but not as much as I’d like!😅 What I meant is some things that are typically eaten at Christmas, such as stuffed cabbage are not eaten exclusively at Christmas. Do you have a favourite Hungarian Christmas dish?
@@thisishungary Okay, I see your point now. :) But, I think, it is the case in most countries anyway. Well, traditionally, here are only a few: halászlé (hungarian fish soup), töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage), rántott hal (breaded, fried fish), oven baked mákos guba (a dessert with poppy seed and meringue), zserbó (festive pastry with wallnut and aprikot jam), bejgli. And, although I'm fond of almost all of the "oldies" above, I make a family favourite cheese soup with bacon, duck confit, some quiche and mézes krémes (divine pastry with honey and cooked cream) as well, every year. For New Years Eve we usually make some kocsonya (spicy aspic from pork), pork roast, potato salad, virsli (hotdog), and lencsefőzelék (thick lentil stew). Thank you for sharing this video.
Yes, you're right, it's probably the same for most countries except for a couple of very specific Christmas dishes. 🙂 Cheese soup good😋, have a lovely Christmas!

You should definitely come back again around Christmas time, it’s different every year!
@@thisishungaryWe normally go between August to October. We would love to come during Christmas again. (Eric)

God bless Magyarország!
🤤😋
Beautiful images.
What camera do you use?
Thank you. It’s a Go Pro.:)
Are the markets cash only or do the accept CC's ?
Yes, as far as I know all the stalls take card.:)
Thanks for that. Going in December. 😊
They open in 5 days' time, I can't wait! 🎄
Do you need cash at the markets?
As far as I know all Christmas markets take card and cash except for the one in Vörösmarty Square, which no longer takes cash!

That stuff is expensive, even by UK prices. £9 for a sausage and some bread. I wouldn't pay any more than £4.
Yes, it was very overpriced. 🥲 I went to the Vienna Christmas market a few days after filming this and it was cheaper than the Hungarian one!
