Budapest Christmas market is recognized as the best in Europe festive place for the so-called winter pleasures.
In the top 5, according to the results of internet voting with over 280,000 Europeans, in order of priority also entered Christmas fairs of Vienna, Gdansk, Brussels and French Montbeliard.
Visitors are traditionally offered to taste mulled wine, eat oysters, cheeses, sausages and all kinds of sweets, as well as buy suvenirs and other handicraft products.
The first written mention of the Christmas market dates back to 1434, when in Dresden on Christmas eve was organized Striezelmarkt. Under the influence of the Reformation in the sixteenth century, the Christmas markets were renamed Christkindlmarkt ("Baby Jesus market").
It is noteworthy that today many Europeans regret that Christmas fairs have become purely commercial in nature to the detriment of religious tradition.
