What you'll see
A huge iron-and-glass hall under a patterned tile roof: paprika, salami and pickles on the ground floor, souvenirs and hot food counters on the gallery upstairs.
A brief history
Opened in 1897, it's the city's largest indoor market; its roof tiles come from the Zsolnay works in Pécs, like those on Matthias Church.
