MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall
MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall, Hotel and indoor market in Budapest, Hungary
The MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall combines a modern hostel with a 19th-century iron market spanning three floors of retail spaces and food stalls. This combination creates a place where travelers can stay overnight and shop for fresh foods and handcrafted goods at the same time.
The market opened in 1897 as part of a city modernization plan, featuring Zsolnay ceramic tiles and a metal framework designed by Samu Pecz. Later, the building was renovated to include contemporary accommodations while keeping the original iron structure.
Hungarian food vendors sell regional products like paprika, sausages, and wines on the ground floor, while the upper level presents folk crafts and eateries. Visitors can speak directly with sellers and discover typical goods from different parts of the country.
The market opens Monday through Saturday with different closing times and offers fresh produce, meat, pastries, and regional specialties across several thousand square meters. Visitors often find more activity on weekends, while weekdays remain quieter for shopping.
The architecture allows travelers to stay overnight directly inside a working market building without separating distinct areas. This arrangement keeps the historical iron elements from the 1890s within an active trading environment.
