Vörösmarty Square is one of the iconic Christmas venues in Budapest. However, due to the pandemic, this year's fair is a little different to before: it can only be visited with a vaccination card or immunity certificate.
"We wanted to make sure that people visiting this fair can leave without getting the disease. That was first of all why we introduced this measure," director of the organizing Budapest agency, Csaba Faix told CGTN.
"And secondly of all, to meet Hungarian law, it was mandatory. We are expecting 1,000 people for this fare every night, and according to Hungarian law if you organize anything for more than 500 people it is mandatory to have a vaccination card", Mr Faix added.
