After a top-to-bottom restoration effort lasting months, the historic covered market of District VII now welcomes shoppers once again – even on Sundays. This downtown neighborhood was in dire need of a good marketplace offering everything from a supermarket to stands selling fresh local produce and dairy products. Although a segment of the hall has yet to reopen and some booths are still unoccupied, the turn-of-the-century building was already overcrowded with visitors during the grand-reopening celebrations last week.

Customers will have to wait a little while longer before all of the new stores, restaurants, and other establishments are open for business, but in the meantime, we are happy to present a photo essay capturing the first hours of the classic District VII market hall. Already now we can visit booths providing fruit, vegetables, cheeses, baked goods, fresh meat, and even lángos fried-dough specialties – and judging from the signs previewing future proprietors at booths on the upper level, we have high hopes for the new businesses that will arrive here. Perhaps most significantly, because of a legal loophole affecting market halls, the supermarket here is also open every Sunday between 6:30am and 6pm – a rarity after the springtime passage of national laws limiting Sunday opening hours. The Klauzál Square Market Hall is still accessible through the main entrances at Klauzál Square and Akácfa Street.

Legyetek ott első városi piknikünkön!

Gyertek, és töltsünk el egy vidám napsütéses tavaszi napot együtt a városligeti fák lombjai között május 1-jén, ahol day-time piknik, workshopok, sok szuper food truck és dizájnvásár is vár mindenkit.

Ünnepeljük együtt a tavaszt, a találkozásokat és azt a pezsgést, amiért annyira szeretjük Budapestet!
