  • I really like antiques. So I was looking forward to a trip to Hungary and this market is the place I wanted to visit the most😊 I was worried because the reviews were so bad and I was disappointed already because it was a rainy Friday💧 when I went there, I felt better after seeing interesting shops and various things. The merchants were very kind, explained the stuff well. they genuinely love and care their antiques. It was a good experience 👍🏻 just tell them what you are looking for and price they will help you to find what you want 😎
  • There are not a lot of stores, and some stores are not open when I visited. If you are nearby you can go and have a look, but I don't think it is worth going specifically. However, most sellers are very kind and willing to show there goods
  • Authentic antique flea market. One can finds real Hungarian culture treasures.
  • Most of the sellers are not there most of the time and on Friday morning the market was without visitors, but still plenty of interesting stuff to go through :-) The opening hours differ from what google says, see picture.
  • Disappointment. There are only few permanent shops are open. Those try to sell old, dirty, broken furniture. It might be Covid or the disinterest, what killed this once vibrant and full-of-life place.
