Find Something Special at an Antique Market

Would you like to find a one-of-a-kind item in Budapest that’s more valuable than a banded mug in a tourist shop? Than you should definitely head to KORZO, a fair that takes place every Sunday in Budapest, and showcases the wares of antiques dealers, as well as local Hungarian designers. You can find everything from vintage photographs of the city to hand crafted jewellery items, and much more besides. And don’t forget to haggle because it’s expected at this market!  

Experience Traditional Hungary at the National Gallop

If you love nothing more than a little flutter on a horse race, you should make sure that your trip to Budapest coincides with The National Gallop. This annual event, hosted each year in September, centres around a horse race that revives Hungarian military and equestrian traditions with each horse representing a town or city in the country. The event takes place in Heroes Square, the largest square in Budapest, which gets covered in sand and transformed into a racecourse.  

Try Budapest’s Best Goulash Soup at Hungarikum Bistro

If there is one dish that you have to try during your time in Budapest, it is goulash soup. Goulash is essentially a thick stew that is perfect for keeping your body warm during the winter months. It will often contain big chunks of beef, winter vegetables, red wine, and seasoned with paprika, nutmeg, and other warming spices. You can find goulash all over the city but Hungarikum Bistro is a local joint where it’s said to be especially tasty.  

Relax in the Szechenyi Baths

Without a doubt, the Szechenyi Baths is one of the main reasons that tourists keep flocking to the Hungarian capital, year in and year out. Located in the City Park, in front of a stunning place, this is the largest medicinal bath in all of Europe. There are 15 indoor baths and 3 huge outdoor pools where you will find crowds at any time of the year. There often parties hosted in the baths, but if you just want to relax and unwind, that’s cool too.  

Chow Down on Goose Liver

Goose liver and Foie Gras is one of the best known luxury food products in Hungary, and you shouldn’t leave the city without sampling your fair share of this delicacy. Kispiac Bisztro is the ideal place to try this local food, and you should also try the veal liver and the duck liver pate. And at Tigris Étterem you can order a goose liver selection plate to try goose liver in its various incarnations.
