The Great Market Hall, also known as Central Market Hall, is one of Budapest's most iconic landmarks. Located at the end of Váci Street, near the Liberty Bridge, it is the largest and oldest indoor market in the city. Opened in 1897, the market hall boasts stunning neo-Gothic architecture with a colorful Zsolnay tiled roof and intricate brickwork. Inside, visitors can explore three floors brimming with local produce, meats, pastries, spices, and Hungarian specialties like paprika and Tokaji wine. The upper floors feature a variety of souvenir shops and eateries offering traditional Hungarian cuisine.
