squares and boulevards<br />
in Budapest are decked<br />
out with LED lights,<br />
Christmas ornaments and other colorful<br />
decorations, giving the city a profound<br />
festive feel, especially after sundown<br />
(which is already around 3:45pm). There<br />
are Christmas trees and Nativity scenes<br />
on various location in town, but the<br />
“national” Christmas tree stands, almost<br />
20 meters tall, in front of Parliament<br />
at Kossuth Square. Shop windows in<br />
major shopping streets like Váci Street,<br />
Andrássy Boulevard (a Unesco world<br />
heritage site) and “Fashion Street”<br />
(Deák Street) are also abundantly<br />
decorated, and the scent of roasted<br />
chestnuts, cinnamon-flavoured<br />
chimney cakes and mulled wine<br />
fills the air.<br />
