More than 50 students took part in this international trip organized on 10th December. The students were able to vote for their preferred Christmas Market prior to the registration, the most popular destination out of the nearby Central European markets was Bratislava, so this is the one we ended up visiting.

The bus left the university by 10 AM and the first stop – for the students’ request –
was the Tripoint by Rajka, where the Hungarian, Austrian and Slovakian borders meet. Despite the cold and windy weather, everyone enjoyed the site and took many photos.
Once the bus arrived to the centre of Bratislava, there was no fixed program, the students could explore the multiple Christmas Markets spread across the squares of the city for themselves. Everyone found something for their liking among the traditional and innovative food options, various flavours of hot drinks, gifts and handmade items. The castle of Bratislava was popular as well. Many had enjoyed the warmth of a café or restaurant at some point and even the football fans did not miss anything – the victory of Morocco was celebrated all the way back to Sopron.
Thank you for everyone who attended, we hope to meet many of you at our next event as well!
