It’s official, the Advent Feast at the Basilica is the best Christmas market in Europe for the second time!

In love, and safety – with this slogan, the Advent Feast at the Basilica, Budapest’s most beautiful Christmas fair, opens its doors. More than 100 artisan and gastronomic vendors offer their portico, the latter in addition to the popular fair food, as well as many delicacies available only here.

The spectacularly decorated atmosphere of the fair itself is completed by the highly successful lightshow projected each day of the fair on the facade of the Basilica in recent years.

True to Christmas traditions each advent Sunday a new candle will be lit on our shared advent wreath. The lighting ceremony will be accompanied by various musical numbers performing their special celebratory holiday programs. As Christmas is the holiday of love and caring for each other, organizers have invited several charity organisations to their program, living up to their motto and  Christian values by helping the less fortunate and in need. 

Book your flights, accommodation, tours and activities in Budapest such as a night cruise with champagne and discover one of the most beautiful Christmas market in Europe.
