Budapest’s Advent Feast at the Basilica had previously been the winner four years in a row

The new best rated Christmas market in Europe has dethroned a serial winner which has held the accolade for the past four years.

Not to mention it may only cost £34 to fly there from the UK.

But if Pep Guardiola and Manchester City were a Christmas market, they'd be Budapest’s Advent Feast at the Basilica.

What's more impressive, winning four back to back Premier League titles, or being awarded the Europe's best Christmas markets for the same period?

As a Man Utd fan, I think you know my answer.

Well, Budapest’s Advent Feast - which is usually located in Szent István Square - has 'nearly a hundred local craft exhibitors, real gastronomic adventures, a giant Christmas tree, lightpainting, light net and more heart-warming programmes'.

There's also an ice-skating rink, traditional Hungarian delights and it runs from November 15, 2024, to January 1, 2025.

This year, however, there's a new market in town which is taking home all the awards.

As voted by worldwide travellers via European Best Destinations, Gdańsk's Christmas Market in Poland has been crowned as the European Best Christmas Market 2024-2025.

With a whopping 90,000 plus votes, the market 'comes alive with illuminations, Christmas melodies, and the joyful sounds of children, marking the eagerly awaited Gdańsk Christmas Fair'.

"This event envelops both locals and visitors in a festive atmosphere, offering cozy dining and enchanting shopping zones where delightful treats and perfect holiday gifts await," the travel and culture site states.

"The market is a hub of artistic performances and charming corners, seamlessly blending theater, dance, carols, and the crafting of festive ornaments.

"Wandering through Gdańsk's picturesque streets, visitors can discover enchanting spots such as Santa’s corner, the artistic nook, the famous moose Lucek’s hideaway, the delightful Venetian carousel, and an angelic corner illuminated with breathtaking lights.

"The Orzechowski family, a charming pair of nutcracker grandparents dressed in traditional Gdańsk Garrison attire, guide guests through the magical history of the market, inviting all to fall in love with its enchanting beauty."

Now, Expedia is running a promotion which says you can book a one-way ticket for just £34.

But at the time of writing, Skyscanner is offering return tickets for dates in early December at £45 from London.

Either way, there are deals to be had before the really busy period sets in.
