We really enjoyed our several visits to the grand market to buy fruit, eggs and fresh bread. This large three-floor indoor market is a place where the clamor of tourists meets the daily life of the average resident. It is three floors of everything from the colorful Kalosca embroidery, ceramics, folk art and crafts to Hungarian strudel, fresh baking and fresh, locally grown vegetables and prepared meats; all the things that make Hungary unique. Originally this grand structure incorporated an indoor canal by which goods were delivered to the market's traders and today it is listed as one of the top 10 places to see in Budapest... but it is more than a place to see it is also a place to hear, smell and taste... not really for touch... because signs suggest that if you touch it and broke it, you bought it..Thursday, December 3, 2009

Reminds me of St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, minus the goulash.
