The Great Market Hall is a bustling three-story emporium near the Liberty Bridge, housed in a striking neo-Gothic building from 1897. On the ground floor, vendors sell fresh produce, meats, and iconic Hungarian spices like paprika. Upstairs, you'll find souvenir stalls, embroidered linens, and a food court serving lángos and goulash. The basement hosts a supermarket and fish market. It's a vibrant slice of daily life, perfect for tasting local specialties or picking up authentic gifts.

- Browse stalls of Hungarian paprika, salami, and Tokaji wine for authentic souvenirs.
