Central Market (Központi Vásárcsarnok)

It is surely more than just a market. Built by architect Samu Petz in 1897, Központi Vásárcsarnok was restored in 1994. Today the market teems with all kinds of fresh produce, meat, cheese, grocery, flowers and Hungarian specialities, so it is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place where those who live nearby buy food. The mezzanine level houses folk-art booths and snack bars. In the basement level there are fishmongers, pickles, a grocery store and a shop selling colonial produce.
