What to expect in your Market Tour & Hungarian Cooking Class?
The market tour combines a stroll through all 3 floor levels, guiding you through a food section, with opportunities for tastings, and a non-food section both of which embody the rich Hungarian heritage and culture that is expressed through foods and artifacts such as embroidery, porcelain, clothing and the arts & crafts.
You will taste lángos (savory street food), cottage cheese – chocolate dessert and strudel. Along the way you will experience a unique slice of Budapest’s one-of-a-kind culinary culture.
