HIGHLIGHTS

• Home visit to a prefab housing estate apartment

• Lunch at a retro self-service restaurant

• Communist times artifacts, products and household items

What You’ll Experience

1

Rakoczi Ter Market Hall

This is the nearby local market hall where you can see not only the whole range of traditional Hungarian products, but talk to the vendors and taste whatever appeals to you.
1 hour 15 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
2

Bacsó Béla Street

After leaving the market the next challenge is to try a bowl of super GOULASH soup at the nearby Rákóczi restaurant, named after its owner, Gyuri. Our firm stand is that Real Hungarian Goulash is available at Gyuri’s.
45 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
3

József krt. 53

Finally, dessert. Nothing is more amazing than a Hungarian dessert adored by foreigners: chestnut purée with cream. The best is available at the nearby Kristály Patisserie where we finish our gourmet tour with some chestnut purée or a cake of your choice, and a delicious cup of coffee.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Great tour as usual. Thanks Miklos! It was a great day seeing the children’s railway as well as a typical communist era apartment.
