Amazing tour. Very interesting and friendly. The food tasting was delicious and it was traditional Hungarian food. Our guide Eszter was excellent, she was very knowledgeable with the tradition and history of the city and the country. A 5 star experience!

Definitely book this tour! If you just walked thru this market you would see so many things, but you would miss out on the details. The Hungarian diet much different than USA. Fascinating and strange! Our guide was a young local woman, Ilsa I think was her name. She was funny, patient and so knowledgeable! We sampled regional foods that were very interesting. Definitely a highlight on our trip! And then the World Market shopping! Such fun$$. We came back the next day!

Near the Liberty Bridge, on the Pest side of the river, is the Great Market Hall. There is a wide range on offer. I really liked the market. The sellers and dealers were also not at all intrusive.

We went to the market about two weeks ago, during the Easter holidays. Definitely very suggestive, especially in some points (second floor) from which to observe the go below. There are many typical products, although prices are of course within reach of tourists (not locals). There is also a souvenir section, the same applies as above. Overall, a quick visit to miss an hour recommend it.

We stopped because we wanted to try but the prices were crazy. Superior to restaurants. It's gotten worse in the last 10 years. Too bad.

Loads of stalls but they basically sell the same stuff. As per any market don’t buy at the first stalls at the entrance. We didn’t buy food and I think that’s what’s most popular there. Souvenirs and trinkets overpriced and repetitive

Very characteristic and full of stalls where you can buy both souvenirs and more local objects, there are also many stalls selling meat/cured meats/fish for consumption at home. Upstairs there are several places to eat, you will find practically only typical food, very good. Slightly high prices, around €12/15 for the dish.
