“Destination: Bucharest” – The Christmas Market brings holiday magic to downtown Bucharest

The Christmas Market is the central event of the winter holidays in Bucharest. It attracts over one million visitors annually, both from the country and from abroad. And this year is no exception. The Christmas Market has turned Constituției Square into a fairytale-like place where tourists and Bucharesters can enjoy traditional goodies, find Christmas gifts and have fun at live concerts. In addition, Santa's House, the ice rink or the carousel are the main attractions for kids.

Another working day is almost over and the Unirii Boulevard in downtown Bucharest is quite crowded. While some of the Capital's residents are heading home, others choose to discover the surprises of the Christmas Market today, along with family and friends. We decide to do the same and we find the magic place in Constituției Square quite easily: the top of the Christmas tree, the stage for concerts and even the famous Parliament Palace are visible from afar.
