The Market Hall houses the city's biggest, best and richest selection of merchandise, including everything from fresh vegetables, tasty fruits to meat and spices. The three-storey hall is the largest indoor market of Budapest, waiting the shoppers even in cold and rainy weather. It opened in 1897 and at that time belonged to the most modern markets. Beautiful Zsolnay tiles make up the most spectacular element of the building from outside.
Most of the stalls on the ground floor offer popular souvenirs such as red paprika, garlic, Hungarian salami, tokaji wine, palinka and other different food and wine specialities.
