Overview
Budapest has celebrated Christmas for a thousand years, since the reign of St. Stephen, the king who founded Hungary and encouraged the spread of Christianity throughout his realm. As you ramble through the Christmas Market on Vörösmarty Square, admiring the handmade porcelain, stop to watch as kurtos kalacs (a pastry) is baked on rods over an open fire and then coated with sugar before It's handed to you.
