Best place to buy souvenirs as they all are mych cheaper than everywhere else. Food is on the ground floor, clothes and stuff are upstairs. Cash only. ATM is nearby.

The excellent market, everything is here! If you see the low prices of goods necessary to you, you don't need to hurry up to buy it. Walk still, far away, perhaps, you will find even cheaper.

Good selection of food items on the first floor. For souvenirs, obviously skip the stalls closest to the main entrance as prices get progressively cheaper towards the back.

Budapest's central market is a good place to buy local products. If you want to buy souvenirs or eat in the upper floor just prefer places outside market with better prices and better quality food !!
Alex PyatetskyAugust 10, 2015
If you like amazing produce, skip the super markets and come straight here. When you walk in, go to the left side. Right side is more touristy. There's a lot of meat, fish and dairy in basement.

One of the must see places and great opportunity to buy some tasty Hungarian souvenir 👌
Zsuzsanna MiklósiDecember 6, 2016
although a touristy place, the produce is surprisingly cheap and great quality, come here for cheap exotic fruits or just regular seasonal things. there's a big Aldi downstairs.

Architecture of the building is great,inside it's full of butchers with all types of meat (you've never tasted before I bet),fruit&veg shops,paprika & spice shops,they got also souvenirs and sweets...
Kevin DonahoeOctober 10, 2015
Very fresh fruits for VERY cheap! I had the largest apple I've ever seen (highly recommended: on ground floor, red Italian apple)

At the end of the first block of stalls, don't miss where they sell Túró Rudi, a semi-sweet cottage cheese covered in chocolate (red-and-white polka-dot wrapper).

Upstairs start your day with a shot of Unicum (local digestive) and then a garlic langosz (fried dough) and then you are ready to browse through the vast array of meats, vegetables, and pickled goods
Krista Elza PutniņaMay 17, 2019
Worth a visit, many delicious foods to choose from! Also nice paprika stands, but walk through all of them, because some of them are cheaper than others!
Roman NovotnýJuly 12, 2016

Located at the end of the famous pedestrian shopping area, Váci Street; the stunning indoor market is an architectural treasure trove of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and culinary delicacies

Cult place,u can feel the energy&the local vibes,u can buy souvenirs&eat on the top floor.We were there Tuesday&it was so crowded,I guess because it was lunch time.We tried langos,heavy&too expensive
Porschia MngzlAugust 15, 2015
Fresh fruit and vegetables. As a vegetarian I love this place. There's all sorts of seeds and grains too
Ele Gagnidze 유April 13, 2016
Worth visiting. Paprika is cheapest here. Make sure to buy from people from the second raw. Walk around a little. Hungarian souveniers on the 2nd floor. Exchange place is next to main entrance.
Rachel CastilloFebruary 21, 2016
Cool building, lively market with fresh food vendors, Hungarian souvenirs, and food stalls. A fun visit and great place to buy your souvenirs.
Regina BorosJune 8, 2018
I am Hungarian, PLEASE DO NOT EAT LANGOSH here, this in not Hungarian Food what you find in the 1st floor! All food is FAKE here! Please go to a proper place!

Best place for souvenir and charcuterie shopping. Convenient prices with good quality. A must visit in the city
minJanuary 6, 2016
The central market in the city has a lot of traditional places to eat. It’s touristy, but still found the food tasty. The shops on the second floor, right side, closest to the front.

Visit steak shop in the basement! Nice & helpful guys, high quality beef :)
Nadia PrutskovaNovember 8, 2014
Niels. Don't forget to eat a Langos upstairs. Best in town!Go for the famous Hungarian lángos upstairs on the right side. Eat it with tejföl (sour cream) and sajt (cheese).
Jihye KMarch 7, 2016
On the 1st floor you can taste lots of yummy Hungarian food! Just don't forget that you will pay extra for each, small, things. Ex) sauce etc. Be careful when u'r ordering Goulash on the bread😁
Charlotte SøbyApril 8, 2016
Great to See all The beautiful Food but also great to see the different beautiful handcrafted things on the first floor. A bit tourist prices but definitely with a look.
Alain RodríguezSeptember 30, 2013
Great prices for food and souvenirs. The place also is a perfect gathering place. There are also two ATM's in case you need more cash.
Ter AmsSeptember 9, 2014
Everything is good here. All fresh fruits veggies and a lot of meats. Go upstairs for clothing and other non food stuff.
Christos DevarisJanuary 23, 2017
Visit this local market to buy local food and souvenirs. Looooot cheaper than the airport! There is also food on the 2nd floor, you could try the Làngos.
Vasilis KolovosApril 3, 2015
Great place to visit and shop. Choose from all types of salami and sausages and try the food stands on the second floor.
Justin AdamsDecember 22, 2018
Good place to find all thing local, fruit, veg, meats and all sorts of edibles downstairs, souvenirs and chow upstairs. Paprika all over the show, as a side note.

Biggest traditional hungarian market place in Budapest. Beautiful building, big selection of Hungarian specialities. Upstairs you can even try some fast food.
Anna TrifonidouApril 20, 2015
Here you can find salami and sausages. Also a lot of vegetables. On the 1st floor you can find touristic things. Try the langos. . A little over priced but very tasty.
Al-abdulgadir TalalNovember 22, 2015
You can explore the Great Market Hall on a guided tour, followed by a cooking class when you learn to make typical Hungarian dishes in a modern cooking school.
Paisano0506August 30, 2017
Food stands are located upstairs, any of the stands will serve really good food. Tables are located on the corridor. Most places are cash only but they take € or $ however the rate is low so use HUF
Ismail AlacaoğluNovember 6, 2015
Nice market. On second floor there are small buffets where you can find hungarian traditional food. Try them, quite good.
Thymios DragotisJanuary 25, 2018
Great selection of meat and veggies . don't go to the upper floor, u can find cheapest stuff outside .
Ariana VoyerOctober 2, 2018
Very crowded and not great signage once you are there. Mostly paprika products, meat counters and produce. A few pastry places too. Wouldn’t plan on the market for a meal, but worth a look around.
Muppe hyttiSeptember 29, 2015
Cafe/bar (panorama bar?) upstairs offers good coffee and cheap wine. What more can you ask ? :) of course, cheese and sour cream langos is must
Kyriakos G. 🍺 🍔May 10, 2016
The souvenir shops are more expensive than others outside. The food stores on the upper floor is also expensive and very touristy. Only the meat stores are worth visiting.
Lucille FisherJune 4, 2015
A culinary delight. Great place to get acquainted with Hungarian cuisine. Don't miss the lower ground floor more to discover down there.
IzaletteDecember 30, 2019
At the very end opposite from the main entrance sells the cheapest goose foie gras at 4500FT.
We Love BudapestJune 5, 2014
This place is a favourite for tourists, old ladies pulling their shopping carts, young housewives, students and even professional chefs. The selection is simply huge!
mizz linJune 2, 2015
Smiley pickles in jars at the basement. From 500 forints upwards. Good alternative other than paprika
Péter UjváriFebruary 3, 2022
This is the best market in Budapest. Handmade Hungarian meals with strong quality.
Carl GriffinDecember 31, 2015
Incredible collection of stalls. Great local produce.
Sabah AApril 24, 2016
Yummy food and lots of local produce on offer. Definitely worth a look around.
Nick LongleySeptember 30, 2015
Huge farmers market. Definitely worth walking around and if you need some vegetables or meat then this is the place to go
Nabil BazzariAugust 11, 2018
Lovely indoor farmer market with local produce and some small restaurants. When done make sure to walk the charming Vaci u street next door.
Ghaida YallaDecember 18, 2014
Sausage wrapped in bread in the upstairs food section. Ask for the hot sauce! Làngos was okay but you can get much better and warmer with melted cheese elsewhere in Budapest.
Lefteris ProtopapasJanuary 28, 2017
Such a lovely spot to feel the beat of the city! Fresh vegetables, spices, cheese and a lot more!
