Budapest Great Market Hall Food Tour

At noon, we'll meet at Vámház krt. and start our food tour in the Budapest Great Market Hall, during which you'll discover the distinctive qualities of Hungarian cuisine.

First, we'll observe the building's neo-Gothic structure and design, created by Samu Pecz. As we walk through the aisles of Hungary's largest covered market, we'll taste specialties like Trappist cheeses, pickles, and hot buns with sausages.

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

Lastly, we'll try lángos, a fried bread appetizer served with sour cream, ham, tomato, and cheese. Bon appetit!

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