In Advent, Szentendre sets up its Christmas market through the centre: it starts at the beginning of Dumtsa Jenő utca, crosses Fő tér and reaches Lázár cár tér. There are craft stalls for gifts, mulled wine, roast chestnuts, concerts and nativity scenes, with programmes for children. In 2026 it opens on 29 November. Arrive on the weekend Advent boat or on the HÉV, which runs every day.

Tips

  • Go on a weekday On Saturdays and Sundays it fills up with people from Budapest and from the boat.
