The main shopping areas are located in central Pest to the south of Vorosmarty ter. In and around the pedestrianised Vaci utca and Petofi Sandor utca there is a large variety of designer, more expensive shops, but here and dotted throughout the Pest side you will also find modern shopping malls across the city that house M&S, Benetton and similar ‘high street’ shops.

Varhegy (Castle District) is where you will find quaint, small shops, which will provide a good choice of souvenirs. Antiques stores and galleries can be found in Flak Miks utca, Vaci utca and the Castle District are also key areas for antiques.

Please note: before you take antiques out of the country you have to obtain permission from the Museum of Applied Arts.
