This is a must see for all Budapest visitors who are interested in food and want to experience some of the local culture. On the first floor (ground floor for Europeans), you can find things like local spices, fruits, or vegetables. I recommend buying some of Hungarian sweet and hot paprika and perhaps a bottle of palinka. Unfortunately, second floor... More

The Central Market Hall is definitely worth a visit ! The hungarian sausages are soooo good, and so are the lángos. But be careful when you shop at the Lángos stall - they keep filling stuff on the lángo, and every item they put on costs extra ! So a lángo with just a few things on end up costing... More

The downstairs section is for food (meat, vegetables, fruits, spices) and drink including alcohol, and it has rich offerings and terrific variety. The upstairs has crafts and an eating section. The crafts are of all the usual kinds, as are the prices, so it pays to go through it once before buying. It is easy to spend a couple of... More

There's no better proof of how much Hungarians like great food than this splendid Central Market, recently renovated. The morning light shining through its glass roof illuminates brilliant red sausages of every description, glorious fresh vegetables and fruits, heaps of peppers and the multitude of paprikas that are made from them - from the mildest to the hottest. On the... More

The market is well worth a visit if only to see the vast selection of food on display. Buy your paprika here as it is a lot cheaper than in the tourist streets. Eat and drink like the locals on the first floor, where you can get a decent glass of Hungarian wine for less than 50p - I miss... More

We spent a very enjoyable morning wandering around the downstairs part where there are all kinds of meet, fish, veg, spices, wine etc. Do check prices from stall to stall as they vary considerably. Upstairs is the craft area which is also very interesting and priced reasonably for souvenirs. The eateries are also upstairs - there is one large sit-down... More

This is not the best public market in Europe I've been to (the Bogeria in Barcelona was) but its nice to visit and see what Hungary has to offer in terms of spices, cured meats and pickles. You can buy at reasonable prices Hungarian paprika (a must if you visit Hungary) and hungarian sausages and salamis. Avoid at all costs... More

The layout of the hall itself and its worth a visit for its food stalls and little eateries. However, I found the goods aspect of it only mediocre with lots of stands selling the same produce aimed at naive tourists at high prices.
