Nestled in the historic Óbuda district, the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism offers a captivating glimpse into Hungary’s commercial and hospitality heritage. Established in 1966, the museum is housed in the former residence of writer Gyula Krúdy and features immersive exhibits that trace the evolution of trade, gastronomy, and tourism. Visitors encounter vintage shop signs, advertising posters, menus, and tools used in restaurants and confectioneries, alongside reconstructions of old grocery stores and coffeehouses. The museum’s photographic archive and numismatic collection enrich its narrative, while temporary exhibitions explore contemporary themes. A specialized library supports deeper research into Hungary’s economic and cultural development. With guided tours and educational programs, the museum fosters appreciation for the country’s entrepreneurial spirit and social history. Its location in Óbuda makes it a rewarding stop for those seeking a less touristy yet culturally rich experience in Budapest.
