    A beautiful and large market, intended for visiting tourists. The place is clean, tidy. On the first floor there are lots of stalls selling meat / sausage and stalls selling mainly paprika souvenirs. On the second floor lots of amazing and unique souvenirs as well as fast and delicious food stalls. The place is worth a visit. experience.

    A stunningly beautiful old market building hence 2 stars. The shopping experience is very poor. Seems to target tourists only. Mostly salami and paprika vendors. The 1st floor is souvenirs only. Some chicken stalls for locals but nothing wowing. Would’ve loved to eat or snack here but that‘s not happening. Spend you times elsewhere. I‘ve been in the neighborhood but would not recommend visiting the market halls.

    This interesting market is located at one end of Elizabeth Bridge. The building is fairly ornate, especially the roof. It is built on two levels - the ground floor features fresh food in all its guises and the second floor features clothes, leather goods and lots more! On the second floor there is also a fast food court featuring authentic street food - well recommended for a bite to eat. You'll find souvenirs here will be much cheaper than the shops. Definitely worth a visit.

    Lots of meat, vegetables, fruits, spices, etc you can buy here at ground floor. At 1sr floor there are some restaurant where you can eat traditional Hungarian dishes. It was reasonable and so tasty. There are also many souvenir shop where you can find the wonderful present to your friend. You should not miss coming to the Central market hall when you come to Budapest. I’m sure you will be able to spend wonderful time here. Highly recommended.

    This is a very fun very large market. You can buy delicious prepared Hungarian foods in many different booths. There is a cafeteria type restaurant with music sometimes. Every kind of fresh meat, beef, pork, chicken, suck, game meats etc. Also salami and smoked meats of every kind. Souvenirs, leather products, paprika, clothing, does, secret boxes, nesting dolls, Hungarian embroidered cloth. Very fun atmosphere

    Best place to buy souvenirs. Best prices for sure. I pretty much walked in and out of every souvenir shop I passed by in the city and none of them had prices like the ones in the central market hall. Also within the market, the best prices are if you walk all the way inside.

    Many people told me I would love this place and guess what? They were completely right. You have to go! This is an indoor market in here you can find anything you could imagine from cheese, bread, meat, souvenirs, and the most delicious foods and drinks from Budapest. I end up going in here because I was going to go to a culinary walk from the people of taste of hungry and I loved my tour because I got to try and taste many different things in this amazing market. I never felt cold or hot.

    This place was amazing!! Wonderful smells, terrific people, excellent food and the place is huge..... Sausage, meat, goulash and music. Guy played excellent music on a violin while we ate. This is a must when traveling to Budapest. Stop by the huge green bridge next door going over the Danube!!!!! We loved it here and the locals that was very kind...... Safe travels..............100% a must stop for any culture.

    Interesting place, many shops lot of variety as for example: Grocery, Butche shops, local food bistro, souvenirs. Nice architectural. I do recommend visiting. Keep in mind that although the Central Market is opening early in the morning, starting 6 AM, only few shops are available that time. Most of them are opening later than 9.

    An extremely beautiful market in Budapest. Definitely a must visit for any tourist, especially to understand the culture better. There is an area serving authentic Hungarian food - that was truly an experience I enjoyed. Don't forget to try the spicy Paprika and the Goulash. Incredible stuff.

    Loved visiting this market. It is a vast cavern of stalls selling everything from souvenirs to fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. We never ate anything on our visit however there are multiple options in the upstairs mezzanine level. Always fun wandering around local food markets to get a real feel for the cuisine. So many different types of sausage and paprika on offer. Great place if you want to bring some ingredients home with you.

    An amazing experience in the market. The food upstairs were delicious, all of them! The variety of fresh products and Hungarian items were fascinating! You must go there! My favourite food was goulash.

    Awesome market. Its not the products but the architecture of the building. Fascinating variety of shops. For a tourist like I was, for me, it was a great place to look close into the culinary side of Hungary. Talk to local people. The sight of fresh veggies is always a pleasure.

    Visited here because it was a rainy day in Budapest. Everyone else apparently had the same idea. It was SUPER crowded, which I'm sure annoyed the locals. This is where they ship for their fresh produce. Lived seeing all the different stands and offerings. The second floor is very much a tourist area. Lots of trinkets and souvenirs. There are also stands with food and sweets. We tried lunch there. I had a Hungarian plate, which contained a few slabs of what looked like very thick cut bacon, two different cooked cabbage (one savory, one sweet) and some noodles. Everything was reheated in a microwave to about room temperature. The bacon was very rough and chewy and the noodles were pretty flavorless. I wouldn't have it again. Bought a few souvenirs then left because it slowed raining.

    The Central Market Hall in Budapest is a large indoor market built in 1897 and is one of the oldest and largest indoor markets in Europe. The market sells fresh produce, meats, fish, and traditional Hungarian foods, and has many souvenir shops. There is a food court on the second floor where you can sample a range of Hungarian dishes and drinks. The market is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a unique glimpse into Hungarian culture and cuisine. It felt like a tourist trap, but it was worth a visit. Please haggle prices when buying clothes since its markup is pretty high.

    I could have spent all day here! What a fantastic market. Went early (6:30am) to only a handful of stalls open. Decided to return later that morning as the market truly opens around 9am. Man, was the wait worth it! Lots of shopping (souvenirs, unique items, fruits and veggies, meat, etc) and even though there are repeat stalls, it was wonderful to walk all the rows. Upstairs is a mix of souvenirs and tons of food options (that looked so delicious). I have plans to eat my way through this market oneday.

    It is a great place to buy a lot of daily needs. Fruits, Vegetables, Flowers and Meat are all available. A wide variety of products are available. Fresh fish is also available at the basement of the market. It is a popular destination for the tourists and there are several different varieties of souvenirs available. Best time to visit is on Fridays and Saturdays.

    Great place to do all your food shopping. Every type of meat you can imagine, large variety of local produce and a few specialty shops sprinkled in between. My personal favourite is the Fuchs dairy and goat milk shop at the very back of the market past the lottery shop. Go and discover! Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area.

    Must see in Budapest! Huge hall with shopping and eating possibilities. Locals still do shopping there, good prices however sowm tourists traps existing there as well. As we enjoyed views and shopping some vegetables and meats I don't recommend eating on 2nd floor. Not too tasty or we choose wrong place. Food stalls overall didn't look too promising.

    Magnificent polychrome building reminiscent of a big city railroad terminal train-shed. Extensive market of fruits, vegetables, spices, gifts, souvenirs, and cafes. Make sure to visit all three levels. The fish and pickled items are relegated to the lower level. The Fakanal Etterem "Wooden Spoon" restaurant is located on the upper, along with other small food stalls and cafes. Convenient to several tram lines and about a block from the Elizabeth Bridge.

    This place is MASSIVE! In a very cool looking historic building, that’s tough to miss. You can find everything here from local meats & cheeses & produce, to Hungarian crafts & souvenirs & clothing items. 2 stories in the main hall, & then an “underground” area that has a bunch of pickles stalls & seafood & game meats being sold (Hungarium, I believe this underground area is called). Do note, this place is kinda for the “early risers”. It closes at 3pm on Saturdays (by 2pm, a lot of shops were already packing up for the day…) & it’s closed on Sundays. Anyway, a cool place to browse, grab some souvenirs to take home, & purchase/ try all sorts of Hungarian “delicacies”: meats, cheeses, liquors, pastries, etc. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, but make sure you do!

    The market hall is excellent in many ways, not only because of its size. The market's central location (it's only a 5-minute walk from the city center) and the amount of stalls are huge. You need to check out the Great Market Hall's hours of operation. According to several Budapest travel guides, the Great Market Hall is a fantastic choice and unquestionably one of the top Budapest sights. The Great Market Hall in Budapest has three levels where you may purchase a wide variety of products, including fresh seafood, paprika from Hungary, wonderful salamis, dairy products, and pickles, etc...

    Discovering the strong, spicy, fragrant flavors of Hungarian gastronomy including soups, paprika and imagination! The Central Market is the largest and oldest covered market in Budapest within walking distance of the river and the Liberty Bridge. A particular building, already very captivating for its external beauty, even more seductive once you cross the threshold of its multiple entrances. Said building is the Central Market of Budapest (Nagycsarnok for the natives), a gastronomic paradise that fully summarizes the potential of the Hungarian culinary tradition. As soon as you enter, you are immediately struck by the size and magnificence of this market, which is spread over three levels, one of which is a basement. Whether you enter to consume, to do some shopping or simply out of curiosity, the Central Market of Budapest undoubtedly remains a symbolic place of the Hungarian capital where you can spend a pleasant interlude of time!!

    Wow! What a place! It's absolutely huge!!!! We went late Tuesday afternoon. So many stalls and such a selection of meat, fruit, veg, chocolate, gifts and souvenirs. Food stalls upstairs so we were able to taste something quite traditional which was great. Definitely worth a visit.

    Worth a visit if you need souvenirs or wanna check out for local market products. Lots of butchers, vegetable stands but most of all souvenirs, so that I am not sure how much it ist still been loved my local Hungarians. But they have a cute restaurant where you can try local dishes, listen to some live music and relax before or after discovering Budapest by feet. The building is nice, but “nicest market hall Europe”- nope ;-)

    Fun place to be. Hoped it was all zero plastic but still lots of the stores didn’t use as much plastics as other places like in ALDIs or other super market chains. Very friendly and nice place. Close to no waste. Love the Hungarians.

    Impressive building with an amazing range of local products, souvenirs and foods to try. Great to walk around, shop and eat typical things like Langos! I bought Hungarian sausage and Paprika! Bear in mind some stalls in the centre sell the exact same products than other stalls in the back / corners for a higher price.

    A great shopping area with much of joy and tasty bakery products. I enjoyed their special Hungarian cake and cookies. I loved the place, it’s just by the Danube river where you can take the cruise to explore the city and see the popular landmarks such as the citadel and the bridges.

    A good place to shop but nothing to write home about - every city has one or two. The structure itself is beautiful. The vendors are friendly. The ground floor are mostly vegetables, paprika, paprika and paprika, and a few meat vendors. Wondering how it is in the hot summer months when more shoppers and onlookers are jammed in there - don’t know if it has a central ac - today is but hot, 80 degrees. The eateries and trinkets are on the second floor. We didn’t stay for the goulash soup but went to Borbíróság which is cross street, which is quiet and enjoyable.

    Vibrant and Authentic Culinary Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of visiting this market hall during my trip to Budapest, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The bustling atmosphere, rich aromas, and colorful array of stalls create an authentic culinary experience that's hard to find elsewhere. From traditional Hungarian dishes to international delights, there's something for every palate. The vendors are not only knowledgeable about their products but also genuinely passionate about sharing their culture and cuisine with visitors. I couldn't resist indulging in some freshly baked pastries, handcrafted sausages, and aromatic spices that I brought back as souvenirs. The architecture of the market hall itself is stunning, blending historical charm with modern conveniences. The high ceilings and ornate details added to the overall atmosphere, making my visit feel like a step back in time. Navigating the market might seem overwhelming at first, but the friendly locals and helpful staff were more than willing to offer recommendations and directions. Whether you're a food enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or simply looking for an immersive experience, this market hall in Budapest is a must-visit. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a treasure trove of flavors, traditions, and warm hospitality that captures the essence of Budapest's culinary scene. Don't miss out on this unforgettable adventure for your taste buds and senses!

    Definitely worth a visit or two while in Budapest. The downstairs is primarily groceries, and it is a good place to buy some goodies to take home, like paprika! The upstairs is half food court and half vendors selling local goods. I bought a few souvenirs here. The food hall has great Hungarian options.

    Good place to find local Hungarian street food such as chimney cake and Langos. There’s also a good variety of shops for local souvenirs, like paprika, magnets, keychains, textiles, etc. Don’t miss out on the second floor foodcourt!

    This is an amazing place, a mixture of modern discount shopping (Aldi in the basement) fruit and vegetable stalls, butchers, traditional Hungarian specially shops, local food stalls and souvenirs, all in a magnificent building. Truly one of the must experience places for visitors and useful amenities for locals. Current covid rules mean that it closes early and is less crowded, so the shop owners are having a hard time. Your visit makes a difference. Most stall holders speak English too so it is easy to buy what you want and interact with them. I highly recommend this place

    It’s a must see building in the city, but there are much cheaper, less touristy places to pick up your pickles. Avoid the extremely over priced eateries upstairs. You may pay a lot more than you expect for extras such as sour cream.

    Great selection of local produce....and upstairs for more touristy, souveniry, local crafts, and food (cooked meals, etc). Just don't touch the fruit and vege....unless you want to be reprimanded in Hungarian from the stall owner! Recommended though, and a buzzing place, especially around the festive season.

    Awesome building, architechtonically speaking. So, worths the visit. Though, for actual grocery shopping, not of the best options when comes to price. Yes though some good variety in it. Anyway, you've got to check out the looks of the place if you're in town.

    The best place to buy souvenirs in Budapest is here. This building consists of two floors. The ground floor is full of chocolates, jams, cheeses and sausages, etc.Hungary is also a source of paprika, so you can get all kinds of peppers here.The upper floor is full of Hungarian handicrafts decorated with beautiful embroidery. There are also several cafes upstairs where you can sit and watch the colorful market from upstairs.

  • 5/5 Joshua L. 2 years ago on Google
    I know it can look a little bit too crowded and maybe not so organized, however the experience was awesome. The food (specially Langós) was really good. It doesn't look fancy, but it didn't matter because I was there for the experience. You can find a variety of produces, artisan work, shopping, foods, etc. And also you are really close to Vaci Street which is a great location to go too. Overall it was fun and good.

  • 2/5 Jan K. 2 years ago on Google
    It didn't seem like a market hall locals would go in. Overcrowded, full of tourists, tons of shops with the same touristic items in them. The only positive thing were fruit and vegetable stalls. Beware the langos stand on the first floor - it's a tourist trap!

  • 5/5 David W. 2 years ago on Google
    Historic Market in Gothic building. This is a good place to load up on the souvenirs (you might find slightly lower prices around town but this is a great "one-stop shop"). Besides that, it's a popular place for the local folk, as it houses a full wet market (seafood and wild game on the basement level) and produce, etc on the first floor. It is also near a lot of nice restaurants, and shopping.

  • 4/5 Brett K. 2 years ago on Google

At this place you can get yourself some amazing fruit and vegetables on the lower floor. 1 floor above you can get yourself some Hungarian food and souvenirs! There are many souvenirs stands and there are different stands with the same products with different prices! So walk around a few times to look for the best prices! The souvenirs sellers are friendly and have some nice Hungarian souvenirs!

  • 4/5 Uberkinger Dojo (. 2 years ago on Google
    It's the famous market hall of Hungary. Be careful not to pay to expensive prices for souvenirs as the same can be bought at several other places for cheaper prices. I am not a pro on groceries prices, so I cannot give recommendations there. Still it was a place worthwhile visiting.

  • 4/5 Serban S. 2 years ago on Google
    A big variety of vegetables. You can eat something on the first floor. The outside is impressive, but the inside is just a regular market. Also I do recommend to buy some paprika from here, or why not some chilli papers.

    As the name suggests.... Its a market place. Lota meat and vegetable shops... I'm guessing locals dont shop here. Trinkets and souvenirs are all @ tourist rate.

    The market hall is impressive. There is a lot to see in the shops, but the goods are almost always the same. Only the price varies. So don't buy the best one right away. I noticed that many shops and restaurants are empty. This is perhaps due to the corona crisis.

    Great market. Lots of souvenirs and food. I recommend restaurant on a second floor as is sells 4 Hungarian dish set so you can try things. Beer is good and some live music. Aldi is on the base floor for local groceries. Many other food court options in side.

  • 4/5 Meli M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a beautiful, clean and so many different colorful stands. Most people in the stands speak English, at least enough to sell you what you need. There's food stands on the 2nd floor that were super full and smelled delicious. Unfortunately, it was way too hot for us to stop there for a meal...

  • 5/5 Susan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great market, loads of fresh produce, smoked meats, paprika, alcohol, chocolate, souvenirs, embroidery, gifts.... the list goes on. A place for both tourists and locals to shop. Upstairs has a cute restaurant as well as some fast food stalls like lángos, goulash and sausages.

  • 4/5 backpackingmod 1 year ago on Google
    I love visiting markets in other countries. They are a hive of activity, great for photos and you’ll always find great local food. This is no exception. There is quite a lot of tourist type stuff on sale but you can avoid that if you want to. The ground floor is full of fresh meat, vegetables and local booze. Upstairs at one end are a number of food stalls selling great local food. I had a lovely Hungarian sausage while the better half had some sort of sweet pizza base thing covered in Nutella, strawberries and vanilla cream. 😃😃😃😍😍😍

  • 5/5 Okan B. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful traditional market in Budapest. As you can imagine most stands are selling paprika or salami (peperoni) but you can find fresh fruits and vegetables, too. What I loved about this market hall was the fact that it is very tidy. No chaos, no unnecessary noise, not overcrowded and pretty clean. If you are not familiar with Budapest it's definitely worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Elena 11 months ago on Google
    Loved it! The lower ground floor is for the locals. Lots of produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, loads of cheeses and sausages and a lot of spices. The home made paprika that I bought from one of the vendors was absolutely amazing. So many great dishes!! The upper floor has loads of souvenirs. Some of them are locally made and unique, however many cheaper Chinese vendors. I went with quality over price and I appreciate locally made art so I purchased few nice pieces. Also there is a big food court with authentic Hungarian food. Big variety and delicious options! Highly recommend that you spend half a day and also eat there.

  • 5/5 Tab W. 9 months ago on Google
    Fun market, lots of stalls for produce on the ground floor and souvenirs on the second. Good spot to grab a quick ready-made meal, or ingredients for one! It is mostly tourists shopping and it shows, both through the conversations overheard and the prices. Otherwise, a fun place to walk around and buy whatever you're looking for. It gets very crowded on the upper level due to the narrow corridors, especially near the langos stand. And this was on a Wednesday, so I would recommend going at a non meal time or in the off season.

  • 5/5 Paweł W. 9 months ago on Google

    So much fun, walkable from the main shopping street (15-20 mins). It was extremely clean, had everything we wanted to see and buy, and people were kind and didn’t try to scam us with the price like other markets. Definitely somewhere to recommend for all visitors of Budapest!

  • 5/5 Sumanta C. 8 months ago on Google
    The best place in the town. You get raw foods, like meats and vegetables. You get souvenirs as well as food items. A very big place and there is something for everyone’s need. Definitely worth a visit, if you are here.

  • 4/5 Heba A. 8 months ago on Google
    The building itself looks amazing from the outside and you will never imagine how it will look or will find from the inside. The market has several floors. I visited the ground and the first floor. In the ground floor you will find meat, vegetables and fruits shops. Some pastries and bread shops here and there. Shops that sells the famous paprika in many forms (powder, paste.. etc) a lot of lavender goods such as honey, soap, room fresheners, perfumes.. etc. on the first floor you can find more souvenirs and some restaurants. Don’t stress out buying souvenirs from here since you will find what they sell in the whole city and in the airport. The prices differ with bargaining. The view from the top floor is amazing. It is a must visit

  • 5/5 李志偉 8 months ago on Google
    This is the must visit place in Budapest. There are lots of shops providing all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, clothes and souvenirs. In the second floor, you can find some nice restaurants. We went there for twice because it was really amazing and so attractive to tourists.

  • 3/5 Paresh N. 8 months ago on Google
    FOR TOURISTS : its a Grocery shopping market. We read at many places that is a must visit but the only nice thing about this place was grocery shopping. The fruits were very fresh. The ground floor have meat / spice and vegetable shops. On the first floor there are stalls / shops where they sell clothes/ magnets and hand Bags. Advice : Don't forget to bargain.

  • 4/5 Claudio M. 8 months ago on Google
    If you are doing a trip on Budapest you should for sure visit this place once. You can find something to eat choosing from different local foods or something to bring home like gadget or dresses. The only downside is that prices are not super worth like the used to be. ✅️So i recommended for sure to visit this free place at least once.

  • 4/5 Rina G. 7 months ago on Google
    Not the variety or diversity of produce in comparison to other world renown markets but still definitely worth a visit. Great food stalls upstairs serving delicious Hungarian indulgences but very congested to negotiate. Upstairs are also many stalls selling souvenirs so make sure to browse before purchasing. Downstairs are fresh produce vendors and lots of stalls selling Hungarian paprika. The quality of meats is excellent and there's a huge variety of small goods. The market is housed in a huge neogothic building next to the famous Chain Bridge, overlooking the Danube in a beautiful bustling historic precinct. Recommend a visit 😊

  • 5/5 Cloud I. 7 months ago on Google
    It’s one of the very well known place for buying vegetables and attracting tourists as well. Many shops with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and meats options available. You will always find crowd here coming and taking photographs, videos etc. Due to its very old architecture design from inside and outside, university near by and the river bridge. This district is popular. #market #vegetables #fruits

  • 5/5 Jutamast W. 5 months ago on Google
    Full of veg and fruits and some local dried products. The cabbage pastry was very nice. Interesting place to go on the cloudy day. However, the food from the upper floor is average but very big portion, as shown at the shop front. A paper tray is €1 additional cost. Plus the seller would ask you if you want any add ons, be mindful as it costs you extra.

  • 5/5 Grace L. 4 months ago on Google
    Central Market Hall is a must visit spot. It is a reflection of people’s lives where lots of locals are shopping for their meats and groceries. For tourists, there are lots gifts and souvenirs to choose from, and restaurants where they serve local food.

  • 5/5 Maria Mona N. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place to visit, especially for souvenirs, a good place to taste the traditional Hungarian sausage which is delicious! The market is huge, it resembles a train station - you can buy everything from fruit and vegetables to dairy and traditional meat products, spices, handwork and many souvenirs. You can buy sachets with Hungaria's traditional spice - paprika (both hot and mild) and matching wooden spoons, traditional folk costumes or wooden doll cases. It is a must if you visit Budapest!

  • 5/5 KelleyAnn 4 months ago on Google
    A stunning market for the traditional paprika and the traditional souvenirs. All the independent traders that we spoke with were so lovely. Also, a great stop for fresh fruit, veg and meat if you stay in an Airbnb and want to cook.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 4 months ago on Google
    There is so much here to browse! On the main floor you'll find a proper market. Many meats, cheeses, and vegetables will be for sale across a hundred different food stands. You'll even find a few souvenir and trinket shops. Underground you'll find a full grocery store and fish market. In the second floor are a few restaurants and many souvenirs for sale. You could spend thirty minutes or a few hours here depending on what you want to explore. Just remember that it's a touristy area for souvenirs.

  • 4/5 Andrew L. 6 months ago on Google
    Large market in Central Budapest selling food, linen and souvenirs. There are some eateries on the top floor but the number is limited. The market has wide aisles and is very clean. There is that wonderful smell of smoked meat. The other floors are accessible by escalator but you need to search for them.

  • 4/5 Keri B. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful building on the outside and good old fashioned market inside. Downstairs seemed to be mostly fruit/veg and spices and upstairs seemed to be mostly the tourist tat. Definitely worth a wander around though, whole neighbourhood is worth a look.

  • 3/5 Moulham H. 5 months ago on Google
    Beautiful building, but the market stalls are too much a much. The market must be well over a 100 yards long, downstairs one full aisle must be full of fruit and vegetable stalls. There were also many meat and poultry stalls . Upstairs, there are a number of food stalls (not as many as I thought there would be). The rest of the stalls upstairs are more for tourists, but again, a lot of them were selling the same type of stuff. So before buying anything, check the other stalls as the prices vary stall to stall. One of the strange things was that there was an aldi store under the market.

  • 4/5 Cristina S. 4 months ago on Google
    Cute spot to stop by. Stores are a bit pricey but it’s worth walking though it. Upstairs is local food and souvenirs, while ground floor you find local products and souvenirs. Downstairs there is fish and pickes - and a little cheaper souvenir stores. As well as an Aldi supermarket

  • 4/5 Elizabeth M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Excellent building with a great amount of space. First floor is excellent for getting your day to day items, and the second floor has a ton of food items, gifts, household goods, and some clothing/purses/etc. The top floor, during peak times, can get VERY claustrophobic as the isles aren’t very wide and they’re lined on both sides with stalls and shops. The place seems very clean, but there’s no heat, so come prepared.

  • 4/5 Gerrit-Jan B. 3 months ago on Google New

  • 5/5 Tamara B. 4 months ago on Google
    My husband and I are big foodies - so naturally, we loved it!!! Most of the people working there know English so they can explain the differences between products and help you make the right choice. Also, if you're getting tired of bringing back the souvenirs in the form of magnets, this is where you'll get everything done! A bag of sweet, smoked paprika, goulash paste, salami... you can truly bring a taste of Hungary back home to share the experience with friends and family.

  • 4/5 kataisblack. 3 months ago on Google New
    My friend and I went there by accident but we loved it! There were so many stalls with local product. If you want to buy some spices you should look around because some places are much cheaper than others. We didn’t like the upstairs because it seemed much more commercial but overall it still was a very nice experience
