Budapest offers winter discounts
I think this website is an official site from the city of Budapest which apparently is a well-priced destination in winter. I learned about this site in the International Herald Tribune - the article there said that lots of hotels and restaurants (and even the airport's duty free shops) offer winter discounts.
They could use a new editor for their site content. The message is good though:
Budapest is the city of thousand sites to be seen and things to explore. Sounds too much? Don't worry! You'll have an extra day to check them out.So you can get a free night at your hotel in addition to any other good deals in Budapest this winter.
Some fo you may remember I went to Munich for the Christmas market last year. Apparently Budapest has a Christmas fair. In some ways it seems similar:
During this time, between November 29 and December 24th, the square is filled with vendors and artisans offering hand made, unique arts and crafts, and Christmas trinkets all made from natural materials. There are a number of food stands offering mulled wine, and the fresh baked gingerbread spread the wonderful smells of cinnamon, pine and the overall feeling of the holidays. The square has a live stage with puppet shows and folklore musical and dance performers providing entertainment throughout the day.Posted by James Trotta at October 22, 2008 4:23 PM

The christmas fairs in Budapest are quite boring. I reckon Munich is much nicer even though I haven't been there but German christmas markets in general are nicer than the ones in Hungary.
