We enjoyed a stroll through this market on a Monday morning. At this time, anyway, it seemed like a place where locals shop - not just a market that catered to tourists. It was interesting to browse all of the food available - a must for any foodie - and to try some traditional Hungarian pastries. We also bought some... more

We had to walk past the market hall pretty much every day, so we got a few looks at it. It's fairly big and has enough room to have a leisurely wander around the numerous stalls. On the ground floor, you'll walk past a paprika stall, then another, etc. And the same can be said about meat, pastry, veg, etc.... more

Excellent place to go to buy your paprika and souvenirs. the first hall when you walk in from the main entrance is full of fruit, veg, meat, bread, paprika, cheese etc, all at excellent prices. The upper level is mostly souvenirs which are a lot cheaper than you'll buy on the main streets. I would definately recommend a visit to... more

We took an hour to look for souvenirs in the upstairs craft area. There were plenty of places that had tablecloths, women's scarves (pashmina), shirts, trinkets, magnets, toys, and all of those kinds of things. On the upstairs levels there were also several food bar type of places where you could order lunch. Downstairs was the food market that had... more

Having been in markets throughout Europe I found this one to be pretty mundane, in that there was a lot of repitition, sausage and cured meats....more sausage and cured meats.... apples, cabbage and oranges...more apples cabbage and oranges - though this was in part due to the time of year (Feb). They have a souvenir section upstairs but it is... more

I love visiting local markets and I love architecture so this was a must-see for me - and I absolutely loved it! As well as being a tourist atttraction, the market is also a daily part of life for locals. The market is adjacent to the Liberty Bridge and is open Monday -Saturday from 6am. The ground floor foodhall displays... more

We spent several hours at the market, and loved every minute. Here you'll see every strata of people -- housewives doing their grocery shopping, men meeting for a beer, visitors buying souvenirs. The souvenirs (paprika, embroidered linens, cans of goose liver, russian dolls, etc.) were relatively inexpensive and plentiful. It's a great place to have a beer or food at... more

We ended up visiting this market everyday. You can get a huge plate of traditional food (including goulash) in the upstairs section for a tiny price (i think it was the equivalent of about £1). The food market downstairs is huge and offers a wide variety of Hungarian ingredients. The best thing about this market is that it is not... more

We went to the market on the first morning we were in Budapest. My husband and I generally visit markets in any country we are in; we find them to be a good indicator of the standadrd of living of the locals. This one is great! Lots of wonderful food stalls downstairs where we bought paprika and salami at excellent... more
