Souvenirs in Budapest
There are many different supermarkets and private shops in Budapest, many of which are open around the clock. These are, first of all, chain stores «Tesco». Shops start very early and are open until 7 pm-8pm, but it should be noted that most of the stores are closed during national holidays. And yet, shopping is best done in the center, as tourists have limited time for these purposes. For example, it is pleasant to stroll through the souvenir shops of Vaci pedestrian street. And if you are not limited in time, you can visit numerous markets where you can buy funny souvenirs - toy cars, antique brooches, porcelain figurines and much more. Another place of accumulation of antiques is Miksha Falk Street. There are many antique shops and galleries, some of which are a real museum..
So what to buy in Budapest? Usually buy embroidery, ceramics, hand-painted porcelain from the factory «Zsolnay», khalash laces, dolls in national dress. Inexpensively you can buy Czech and Hungarian crystal, handmade items.
Sweet lovers will be pleased to look into the house «Gourmet Samosh». This house also houses a cafe where you can taste more than 40 types of handmade chocolates, a chocolate boutique, and a school of chocolates. Here you can learn how to make chocolate with your own hands. Also very interesting is the Sugar store, where you can buy branded sweets made from sugar. They are so beautiful that you even feel sorry for them. The assortment includes various figurines, flowers, flower pots, Cinderella shoes, unusual cakes, and all this in bright colors. But all this beauty is, let's face it, not cheap.
