Hi , please can you tell me if there is a Christmas market in the castle area? Thank you, Alison
Hello Alison,
thank you for your comment.
There is not any Christmas Fair in the Castle area.
The 2 big and well-known Christmas markets are at Vorosmarty Square and by the Basilica. These two city central markets have been attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors, and are the most spectacular.

Where will we meet if I join this tour in September ? (Buda Castle / Fisherman’s Bastion)
Dear Sam,
the meeting point of the Budget Tour is by the Holy Trinity Statue in front of Matthias Church.
Tour leader was late to meet us, wasted more time taking happy snaps of individuals on the tour in front of a fountain with no water. The guards change on the hour oh missed that by 5 minutes. Perhaps could have seen that if so much time was not wasted. Tour only went for 1 1/2 hours including wasted time. Sound device used by leader was ineffective. Waste of money and time.
Dear Julie,
thank you for your valuable feedback. Your experience must have been disappointing, which we would like to apologize again for on our partner’s behalf.
We will investigate your complaint asap and will get back to you.
Thank you for your patience.
