What kind of shopping do you like? Do you prefer the major shopping centres, or are you a fan of markets? In Budapest you can find whatever you like, especially souvenirs on stalls along the banks of the river Danube. But the large covered markets of Budapest, such as the one near Vorosmarty Square also deserve to be visited.

I imagine that you like to shop around, when you are in a new town; here it is possible, too. After seeing the beautiful monuments of Budapest, you can relax buying some special souvenirs to remember your trip. In Budapest the shops are usually open around 10:00, while the closing time is around 20:00. Sundays are usually closed, except for those that are in special tourist areas.

From Vorosmarty Square the major shopping streets of Budapest begin: Vaci UCTA is full of luxury shops. In November 2007 a large shopping centre was opened in which you can find stores like H & M and New Yorker etc. At the northern end of the road you will find the famous Café Gerbeaud Confetteria and at the southern end a very big Market. The road is not very long and can be very nice to take a relaxing walk along. There are other shops specializing in Hungarian and African crafts and still other shops that specialize in Russian cuisine, but these tend to be a bit more expensive.

There are many shopping centres such as the WestEnd Shopping Centre, near Nyugati square.This is very large and has some impressive architecture. The Mammut Buda is another mandatory stop, the shops here are very elegant and refined such as the bar Mirò café or the Duna City Centre.

How can we forget the Nagyvasarcsarno near the Danube River? This is the largest indoor market in Budapest and is spread over three floors: on the ground floor there is an exhibition of peppers from which we get paprika. The smell is wonderful and here they also sell the typical Hungarian sausages along with typical bread and cakes. The upper floor is reserved for Hungarian crafts, and there is a fast-food restaurant where you can enjoy an excellent goulash. But if you are looking for non-tourist places, the covered market square Racokzi is perfect for you and you will find that this is where the citizens of Budapest usually spend their time. The other covered markets in the city are close to the Parliament, the market square Hunyadi, Klauzal square, the Jewish quarter and close to Batthiany square.

Why you not book your summer holidays to Budapest? Rent apartments in Budapest as they are comfortable, economical and above all you can choose the one you like. What are you waiting for? Fly to this fantastic city of culture, art and so much more.
