The market will welcome visitors from 28 November 2014 until 1 January 2015. It can be accessed easily on foot from the direction of the Pest bridgehead of the Chain Bridge or Deák Ferenc tér. It is also very close to the Christmas market at Vörösmarty tér, which is the oldest and best known of its kind in town.
