Budapest has a few market halls on the pest
side. We ran into a couple a little later.
But the ones they are proud off is this one.
It opened in 1902 and got renovated not
that long ago. It is a huge building in more then
one floor. The ground floor is for food ,
meat , vegetables. I bought myself a fantastic
souvenir. A bag of beans , special colors.
The upper floor has some restaurants and
what I think some awfull needlework.
We ate here as well. Great food.
I also bought some wooden puzzles for 'Joost'.
I'm a godfather.
Here tourists and locals mix nicely together. Leave a Comment Phone: +36 (1) 217-0052, 217-6965Directions: At the Pest bridgehead of Liberty Bridge, on Fovam ter. Trams #2 2A 47 49, buses #15 City-busz and trolleybus #83, stop Fovam ter.Website: http://www.csapi.hu

After the conciliation in 1867 Budapest had started to grow rapidly. At the turn of the century Budapest had one and a half million inhabitants. Budapest became a metropolis by the numerous infrastuctural developments.
The dirty, musty, chaotic markets on the streets could't supply the people, so Budapest started to built up a regulated market hall system.
The main Market Hall had been started to built in 1894 by the plans of Samu Petz, and on 30th June 1896, ten days before the handout, there was a fire and 50-60 percent of the roof was perished. The recovery took 9 months. The opening ceremony was on 15th March 1897.
The hall was closed in 1991, because it became life threatening. The renovation was finished in 1994.
Opening hours:
Monday: 06.00 - 17.00
Tuesday - Friday: 06.00 - 18.00
Saturday: 06.00 - 14.00
Sunday: closed Leave a Comment Phone: (+36 1) 217-0052Directions: Pest, downtown, at the Szabadsag hid (bridge)Website: http://www.csapi.hu

This is a very large indoor market covering 3 floors, on the basement level is a supermarket and a few other stalls, the ground floor contains the fresh foods, meat, cheeses,vegetables, preserves etc, and on the first floor are stalls selling everything from clothes to Hungarian Dolls. Also on this floor are several stalls selling hot local meals which looked very good.
This is a very active market with many locals making their daily purchases, and tourists are everywhere looking for a bargain and enjoying the good cheap meals.Not to be missed Leave a Comment Phone: +36 (1) 217-0052, 217-6965Directions: At the Pest bridgehead of Liberty Bridge, on Fovam ter.

Under the brightly colored "Szolnay tiles" you will find this three-leveled market, which is the largest market in Budapest. With over 180 stalls selling everything from fruits, vegatables, meat and cheeses its a great place to find some really fresh produce.
The market is located at the foot of Liberty Bridge (Fovam ter).
The market is open M-F 7am-pm and on Saturdays 7am-1pm. They are not open on Sundays.

The Big market Hall was built on plans of Samu Petz, just like the adjacent Corvinus University(see other tip). The construction of this typical secessionist building with neogothical elements was finished in 1897. As since the Corvinus University was originally the Costums house, and also the Danube dock was nearby, this place was ideal for the biggest market in Budapest. You can find more than 10 quite similair but not so big market halls all over the city, but this one, also thanks to it`s rooftop made by Zsolnay pyrogranite cheramics, became the most famous and the most visited of them. In the communist times the market hall wasn`t well kept and at the beginning of the `90-s the reconstruction was very urgent. In 1994 the market hall was restored to it`s original beauty and nowdays it`s very popular among the tourists.

Built beginning in 1894, the intent was to bring shoppers from the expanded city to one place to buy all that is needed. It burned 1/2 of the roof before it opened. The re-opening was in 1987. The building was refurbished in 1991. The roof tiles are ornate and called Zsolnay? It is one very large three story facility housing all kinds of goods. I estimate is is 2 blocks long and one block wide. It has meats, cheeses, pastries, vegetables of all kinds, lace, glass, sculpted items, and keep on going. The basement has variety of pickle, game, fish and a supermarket. t is great to take a slow walk to see all it holds, and watch the locals know just where to go to buy the evening meal.

 Budapest central market by sourbugger
On the ground floor it is mainly produce and flowers, whilst the upper gallery has a good number of Hungarian 'fast food' stalls and a vast array of stalls aimed fairly and squarely at the tourist.
Clothes dominate up here, especially those 'gypsy' types clothes of balooning white with embroidery. Wooden toys are also pushed heavily, and these seem good value.
I especially liked the modern and very funny 'Russian dolls', which included one of Saddam Hussain, which inside had a number of dictators - ending up with Hitler. Another had a modern Michael Jackson which progressively got younger (and blacker) as the dolls were pulled apart.
The main attraction is however the market hall itself - a symphony of Ironwork. Leave a Comment Phone: +36 (1) 217-0052, 217-6965Directions: At the Pest bridgehead of Liberty Bridge, on Fovam ter. Trams #2 2A 47 49, buses #15 City-busz and trolleybus #83, stop Fovam ter.Website: http://www.csapi.hu
