Lehel Csarnok, Market hall in Angyalföld district, Budapest, Hungary.
Lehel Csarnok is a market hall with multiple levels offering fresh vegetables, meats, dairy products, and household goods. The building features both above-ground sections and an underground level with different types of vendors and stalls throughout.
This market hall was designed by architect László Rajk Jr. in the late 20th century as part of Budapest's modern commercial development. The structure reflects the architectural styles and construction methods popular during that era.
This market serves as a neighborhood meeting place where vendors display fresh produce and traditional Hungarian foods daily. Local residents gather here not just to shop but to catch up with familiar faces and sellers they know.
The hall is located near Lehel tér metro station, making it easy to reach by public transport or on foot. The main level can get quite busy during peak hours, so early morning or mid-afternoon visits tend to be more comfortable for shopping.
The underground level stays open until 10 PM on weekdays, offering shopping opportunities when the main hall closes earlier. Few visitors realize this lower section operates on a different schedule, making it useful for evening purchases.
