Budapest Great Market Hall Food Tour

At noon, we'll meet at Vámház krt. and begin our food tour in the Budapest Great Market Hall, exploring the distinctive qualities of Hungarian cuisine.

We will examine the building's neo-Gothic structure and design by Samu Pecz. As we navigate the aisles of Hungary's largest covered market, we'll taste specialties including Trappist cheeses, pickles, and hot buns with various sausages.

We will discuss paprika, a key ingredient in Hungarian cuisine. Following this, we'll visit sweet food stalls to sample different varieties of rétes (strudel), a well-known treat from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Finally, we'll try lángos, an appetiser made with fried bread and toppings like sour cream, ham, tomato, and cheese. Bon appetit!

Our food tour concludes at 2 pm outside the market. See you next time!
