Basilica Market

Not far away, the Basilica market, set against the stunning St. Stephen’s Basilica, offers a different but equally enchanting experience. The highlight here is the spectacular light show on the Basilica’s façade, creating a magical atmosphere as the evening falls. The market is a haven for food lovers, with stalls selling delicious lángos, roasted chestnuts, artisanal chocolates, and pastries. For a bit of winter fun, don’t miss the ice-skating rink that circles the Basilica. The evenings here are especially magical, thanks to the dazzling light shows. Keep in mind to carry some cash, as some vendors might not accept cards.
