Fashion Street

Fashion Street is a place, where you can find the high-standard shops of the most popular, world-famous brands. This street-long chain of shops is located in one of the most beautiful places of downtown. From Deák Ferenc tér to Bécsi utca, there are stores of the most modern Hungarian and foreign fashion designers and restaurants in top-leading design waiting especially for young guests.

The speciality of the place is the historic environment. Most of the freshly renovated buildings are from the beginning of the 20th century, which means that they have been functioning as shops for over one hundred years. The oldest of them is even more hoar: the house at 21st Deák Ferenc Street was build after the Hungarian revolution against Habsburg-dictatorship in 1848. The building is a work of József Hild, the famous architect of that age and has an extremely romantic atmosphere. One of its secret beauties is the handle with plant-ornaments, situated in the hall of the house.

Párizsi Udvar

The building, standing in Ferenciek tere is a typical instance of Hungarian secession, and one of the most beautiful buildings of the capital: on its first floor operates the famous Jégbüfé, a popular meeting point of the citizens. The house was built in 1909, originally for functioning as a department store. Its beauty is in the niceties: glazed bricks, majolica, gargoyles – these small things are in perfect harmony with the tarnished, green, copper ornaments of the facade and the handles.

Vásárcsarnok (Central Market Hall)

Central Market Hall is one of the most characteristic buildings of shopping places of the city. The building stands in the area of the former toll-collecting places of Budapest. The ships, coming even from the sea, stopped here and sold their exotic wares from different types of cheese to mullet and crab.

The hall itself was built in 1897. Although in that time the roofed portico was considered to be a simple assurance of hygiene, the building was designed carefully. The oriental-style building is roofed by ceramic tiles from the famous Zsolnay manufacture.
In these days the market hall is a kind of symbol of Budapest’s gastronomy: if a good housewife would like to surprise his husband with something special, she certainly goes here to buy the delicatessen. Everything can be bought here from Chinese roots and onions to original Hungarian red paprika.

Váci utca

Before 1989, the year of political changes in Hungary, when a Western tourist came to Budapest the first thing which a proud citizen showed them was perhaps Váci street, the most tarnished and most elegant shopping street of the city. There is perhaps no tourist guide, which does not mention the street of art galleries, shops of fashion designers and souvenirs.

The street itself got its character in the 19th century. Most of the houses have classic and eclectic features and were designed by the most famous architect of their age, such as Rezső Ray of József Hild.
Today, this street has a lovely retro-feeling as well, so if you would like to experience the unmitigated goulash-romanticism, it is the best place for that as well.
