Did you know by the way that the ones renting the biggest stands at the Budapest Christmas market (where they are allowed to sell food and drinks) have to pay a bit more than 75,000 Euro in total. That is quite a lot, but with all the visitors coming to town to check out the event and to taste all the traditional Hungarian foods and drinks, they will for sure earn the money back, at least hopefully they will!

At the Christmas market you will also be able to taste the delicious Hungarian chimney cake, so do not miss out on it if you come to town.
