Shopping in Budapest isn't quite the same as in Milan, New York or Berlin, but that's not to say there aren't some great purchases to be made if you're a committed credit card basher. Pest has all the standard retail shops you'd expect to find in a big city, including a number of malls, whilst a stroll around the hilly castle district of Buda reveals a host of porcelain shops perfect for souvenirs. Of course, you could just take the obvious option and bring home a case of superb Hungarian wine. You'll get a decent ratio of grape to forint.
Grabbed a few bottles here - but I have to say it didn't quite taste so good at home as the stuff we drank here on our hols!
Fascinating place! All kinds of weird and wonderful things to be seen, well worth a visit!
A wonderful shop with a good selection of English books. It's indispensable for expats here!
Had quite a good browse here. While I'm partial to my Australian cabs, the Hungarian sweet wines deserve a try.
