From celebrating Budapest's 150th birthday to visiting the first Christmas markets and indulging in Thanksgiving feasts, here are the best things to do in Budapest in November.
Slowing down instead of rushing, real gifts instead of tacky ones, supporting Hungarian designers instead of forced spending – introducing smaller craft and designer Christmas markets.
Budapest's oldest and most popular Christmas market returns to Vörösmarty Square this Friday and stays until New Year's Eve. Expect handcrafted gifts, sizzling sausages and mulled wine.
