4.00Beautiful architecture, market with a great variety of paprika, crafts and local beverages, several restaurants with varied dishes. Like any market, it is worth looking for the best prices, which vary from tent to tent. But super worth the visit
Colours and scents.

5.00A large Covered Market, in the city center, full of perfumes, souvenirs, and places where you can eat. It is spread over two levels, and is definitely worth the visit. On the sides you buy at a more competitive price. Beware of pickpockets, even if much less present than any of our cities...

1.00With less than 24 hours notice, the tour was cancelled due to "weather." However, the weather was beautiful - sunny, 32•C, with a gentle breeze. I went to the Central Market myself. No problems there; merchants were open.

5.00Ester Jeanette is a terrific tour guide with a deep understanding of Budapest food culture. She knows the best stops for tasting langos, salami, and strudel and along the way provides fun and interesting history and facts. The visit to the Great Market Hall was made much richer by doing this tour rather than on our own. Highly recommend!

4.00It is the largest in Budapest. You can buy both raw and cooked food. The ground floor is developed as a real market where you can buy local products, the first floor is full of street food so ready to taste but at fairly high prices. I actually expected more.
Very nice building and colorful market.

5.00Beautiful market hall with 3 floors. You can buy everything there as you are used to at a market. (also wild) But at Christmas it is of course also a Christmas market. You can also eat and drink anything. Definitely worth it!
Very good

5.00Esther was great. She showed us around the market and provided excellent tastings of local foods like langos, salami, strudel, liquor and others. We had enough food to equate to a full meal. It was a little expensive for what you get, but on the whole a very good experience that I would recommend to other visitors interested in trying local foods.
Excellent Food Tour

4.00We enjoyed the tour with Eszter. We especially loved the langos that we tried! We also enjoyed the special treats and the commentary from Eszter. Unfortunately some stores in the Central Market had closed because we went late in the afternoon.
Best place to get Paprika
