Are you tired of waiting on long lines in front of crowded vendors at sprawling Christmas markets? Do you want to find presents that are fresher and more fashionable than the usual selection of traditional trinkets? Then Budapest’s newest pop-up Christmas gift shop by Hosszúlépés is exactly what you’re looking for, featuring a nice selection of hip local products and information about diverse themed tours, all found aboard a cool Volkswagen van packed like Santa’s sleigh.

From now through December 24th, we can purchase great gifts full of modern Budapest spirit from the retro Volkswagen Transporter of Hosszúlépés, offering cool designer products, colorful posters, tickets for their themed tours, and much more from their regular parking spot at the intersection of Madách Imre Street and Rumbach Sebestyén Street, just steps away from central Madách Imre Square. Watch the (Hungarian-language) video below to see this Christmas fair on wheels rolling around the Magyar metropolis:

;t=3s Every gift that they sell is from and about Budapest, including the “Budapest Like” sweater and postcards by Random Artworks, the multi-lingual Little Hungaropedia books by creative graphic designer Zsófia Szabó, Temporary designer tattoos, and locally themed souvenirs by Sátor Space.
