Hi!
Does Debrecen officially announced the beginning of the Christmas Market on 26th of november?
Please let me know, do I need covid certificate in I want to visit this year Christmas market in Szeged (started by 26th of November)?
Thank you in advance!
Hi, we are not the official organizers of the event so cannot say for certain. We assume you would need proof of immunization (since that seems to be a legal requirement for the Christmas fairs in Budapest), but to double check, we would ask the official organizers here: https://www.facebook.com/szegedikaracsony/ They seem to answer comments quite quickly! Hope that helps.
