There are about 100 stalls waiting for you to visit them, set around the Christmas tree that is decorated with different colours each year. From goulash to grilled sausages there is an endless selection of local food you can enjoy.

If you prefer to visit off the beaten track, secret Budapest events, non-touristy places on your Budapest visit, head to Old Buda by the Arpad Bridge on the Buda side.&nbsp;The historical Fo Square in Obuda definitely has a small&nbsp;town feeling and is well worth the detour to join the Christmas events and activities, especially if there is a superb concert given by one of the best Hungarian bands. There are special programs (concerts, puppet shows, etc.) at the 4 Advent weekends. The programs usually start after 1 pm and are until 6-7pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" data-id=\"7596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/advent_obudan_2018_-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/advent_obudan_2018_-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/advent_obudan_2018_-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/advent_obudan_2018_-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/advent_obudan_2018_-1-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"7598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/\u00f3buda-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/\u00f3buda-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/\u00f3buda-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/\u00f3buda-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/\u00f3buda-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Home_of_Thermal_Spas\"><\/span><strong>The Home of Thermal Spas<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary is famous for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/best-thermal-baths-budapest\">thermal water<\/a> and spa culture that the country inherited from the times it was part of the Turkish (Ottoman) Empire.

References to healing waters in this location are found from as early as the 13th century. A hospital was also located on this site during the Middle Ages, then during the reign of the Ottoman Empire baths were also built on this particular site. The \u201cmagical healing spring\u201d was used by the Turkish during the 16th and 17th centuries. The bath was called S\u00e1rosf\u00fcrd\u0151 (\u201cmuddy\u201d bath), because the mineral mud settled at the bottom of pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"7608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"7609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-2-5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-2-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-2-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danubiushotels.com\/budapest-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gellert-2-5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kiraly_Baths\"><\/span><strong>Kir\u00e1ly Baths<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kir\u00e1ly Bath or Kir\u00e1ly f\u00fcrd\u0151 was first built in Hungary in the second half of the sixteenth century, during the time of Ottoman rule. It still retains many of the key elements of a Turkish bath, exemplified by its Turkish dome and octagonal pool. Kir\u00e1ly Thermal Bath had no direct hot water base, nor has it any today. The Turks built the Bath far from the springs to ensure the opportunity for bathing even in the case of an eventual siege, within the walls of the castle. Its water was supplied at that time, and is being supplied now, from the surroundings of the current Luk\u00e1cs Bath. Kiraly Baths have 4 pools on site.
