The Great Market Hall, or Central Market Hall, is Budapest’s largest and oldest indoor market, completed in 1897 and designed by architect Samu Pecz. Its striking neo-Gothic facade, colorful Zsolnay tiled roof, and vast steel structure make it an architectural landmark at the end of Váci Street, near Liberty Bridge. Inside, the bustling ground floor is filled with stalls offering fresh produce, meats, pastries, candies, spices, and Hungarian specialties like paprika, Tokaji wine, and salami. The mezzanine level features eateries serving traditional Hungarian dishes and shops selling souvenirs, while the basement houses fishmongers and pickled vegetable stalls. The market is a vibrant hub for both locals and tourists, providing a taste of everyday Budapest life and a showcase of the country’s culinary heritage. Its restoration in the 1990s returned the hall to its original splendor, making it a must-see attraction for its history, architecture, and authentic Hungarian flavors.
