The Advent Feast at the Basilica, Budapest’s most festive Christmas market, has been voted first on the list of Best Christmas Markets in Europe in 2020, organized by European Best Destinations. More than 280,000 people have voted for the best Christmas markets in Europe, and Budapest finished first, preceding Vienna, Gdansk, and Brussels.
The 5-week long Christmas market with almost 200 programs, the handicraft of 80 vendors, a rich international food and drink selection is complete with an ice-rink in the center of the fair, bringing the greatest joy to children who can use it free of charge. The Advent Feast at the Basilica welcomes its visitors with a spectacular visual attraction as colorful short movies come to life in 3D on the 1,000 m2 façade of the Basilica, the biggest 3D light show in Europe, while the festive lights of the square and theinner city provide a magical setting for a winter walk.
In addition to being the most beautiful Christmas market in Europe, the Advent Feast at the Basilica deserves the title of Best Christmas Market with the spirit of Christmas, but also the title of Best Eco–friendly Christmas Market. According to the portal, the “Advent Feast at the Basilica is held with a community spirit in mind: guests can enjoy charity-boosting concerts, and preserve the environment by using eco-friendly cups and cutlery, while leftovers are recycled.”
The Best European Christmas title came on the heels of the Best European Destination title, where Budapest was voted first in the contest back in February.
