What do you find at the flea market of Budapest? More than trash and even more than treasures. Clourful faces. Diversity in nations, religions and old goods. False and true gold jewellery of any kind, lost and sold memories from Hungary. You can get one of them this time for a reasonable price. How to get there?
Travel to Boráros tér. (Take no 2 - 4-6 tram) Get on the bus no. 54 (see bus timetable ) Do not get off till the 20th stop what is ’Naszód utca – Használtcikk piac’. The driver usually announces the magical word ’Ecseri’. This time follow the not so well dressed Hungarians, traders and other tourists.
Basic rules
Taking a look is free. The normal price is at least doubled as you first ask. You might ask before you take a picture on someone. Do not take picture on children. Tolerance is required. Enjoy the bustle of the market. Do not throw away your trash and butt. But eat a ’lángos’.
Dress code: do not wear good shoes as this talks most on your financial situation.
It’s useful to know ’mennyibe kerül?’ - how much; ’kérem’ – please and I would like to take it; ’köszönöm’ – thank you.
Enjoy.
