Central Market Hall

(Nagyvásárcsarnok – V. Vámház körút 1-3.) In olden times this most famous of market halls was connected to the River Danube by tunnels so that goods could be directly offloaded from barges and taken inside to the stalls for sale. Upstairs is a stunning – although sometimes pricey – range of folk art inspired goods

Hold utca Market

(V. Hold utca 13.) Like a jewel in the centre of Pest, quite close to the Parliament.

Rákóczi tér Market

(VIII. Rákóczi tér 7-9.) More representative of everyday Budapest, much more rarely frequented by tourists.

Hunyadi tér Market

(VI. Hunyadi tér) Dating from 1897, this is the only one that has not been renovated since the political changes in 1990. There is a good delicatessen.

Klauzál tér Market

(VII. Klauzál tér) In the centre of the old Jewish Quarter.

Batthyány tér Market

(I. Batthyány tér 5.) This, the only one in Buda, was lovingly restored in 2003. Upstairs are shops, a nice café and a fantastic view over one of the city’s finest squares and across the River Danube towards the Parliament.
