Antiquity Shops and Flea Market in Budapest

If you have time to spend more time in Budapest you will see that almost in every corner of the downtown there is a small antiquity shop. Whatsoever there are "2 must to see" places. First of these because of the atmosphere ( flea market called "Ecseri piac"), the another one because of the quality of goods ( in the 5th District, close to Parliament: Falk Miksa utca").

The Ecseri Piac is in the ourskirts of Budapest and about a 30 minutes drive from the downtown ( any taxidriver knows the place, you should calculate 3-4000 HUF one way fare, but if you call or e-mail me I provide you personal guidance and after a good shopping I bring you back to the hotel with your luggage for only 5000HUF (roughly 19-20 EUR, or 30 USD). My pleasure! Contact details below...

Ecseri is worthy place to buy small antique souvenirs in the weekends (old iron, stamp, military things etc.) or even porcelain or small design furnitures before WW2. I especially recommend to look for natural textile product, like towels, skirts, tablecloths etc. frankly: you will find amazingly nice pieces!

The other must-to-see place is the Falk Miksa street where are about 30 antiquity shops next to each other. I especially recommend to look for (even if you dont purchase anything) paintings of Hungarian young artists from the 60-ies till now. You will be amazed how good are the contemporary Hungarian painters!
