Architecture: The Central Market Hall (1897) - Budapest - 4
Straight ahead: the Markethall, at your right the University, at your back is the Metro.
Tip: from the meteo station departes Tram 2 which shows you the highlights of Budapest.
You find at the Pest side of Liberty Bridge since 1897 the Central Market Hall (Fővám tér Market Hall) designed by Samu Pecz.
The grand, neo-Gothic building was inspired by the historic customs house that once stood here, where goods arriving on the Danube were taxed. Spanning 10,000 square meters, the hall is a feast for the eyes inside and out—with a Zsolnay tile roof.

Soo beautiful place it it. I always wish to hangout and go outside to see the world. I have thought after talking to you that I had never listen even the names of the countries. The world is so vast.
The beauty behind these pictures, the creativity of the human!!!! Mind blowing. The first pic I thought of a mosque. Like it gives me vibes.
The true beauty of the pic is captured by the person. A good photographer can do it not every ordinary person
After seeing your pictures I wanted to edit this because you took the pictures very beautiful And you know I love to edit
I love the way you capture this beautiful place😍
Btw where is this markethall? I mean which country.
It's a great building and the architecture or the place won a prize or some nomination. Not what they sell. The university and some other buildings are great as well. Not that I believe most of what I saw is typical Hungarian. More Roman influences.
Oh it is nice🎀😍
The Central Markethall is in Budapest the capital city of Hungary.
I remember when I was a teenager and wanted to learn Hungarian language, but my mother was frightened I had to travel to Hungary (I'd like very much to travel to Hungary, but no way...)
It's an interesting country, a lot of land been stolen from them after the second world war. It should have been given back a few years ago. That was the agreement but of course, if it comes to Navo a word isn't a word.
Transylvania always been Hungarian and the history is interesting. I followed the trail of count Dracula in Hungary and Romania.
You can still learn the language, it's one that has nothing in common with other languages although it might be easier today since it also adopted foreign words.
What was it that wanted you to travel to Hungary?
My mother didn't want me to travel to Hungary (surely, because Hungary never appears in the media as the English-speaking countries and the western EU), so she was afraid it was a dangerous place (at least, for a teenager). I wasn't afraid at all, but I couldn't help, as I was living with my parents, depending on them 100%. I know the language is similar to Finnish.
Hungary isn't western Europe and for sure (also back then) the east European countries are way safer than the Western ones.
I know, I know...but unfortunately my mother didn't know. She took the Western as safer (that's why no issue to send me to England, France, Spain, Austria, etc., but I couldn't mention an Eastern country...), well, in any way, Austria is the safest Western country where I travelled.
Austria must have changed a lot. I can't say I ever felt safe. Till today they are hostile to foreigners, their neigbours, Europeans, Dutch included. I cannot remember one single time they didn't stand with guns, the border was open during all those years of that one great EU. ☹️
If I can avoid it I will not stay overnight in a hotel up there.
From experiences, and not ours only, the hotels are also one of the worst if it comes to how they treat their employees so no way I want my children work there.
Being pushed of the road or followed and tried to be pushed of a mountain by a truck is also something we only experienced in Austria.
🤐
That's incredible, dear friend! My last trip to Austria was above 25 years ago and it was my third time there. I always have found kindness, good welcome and cleanness. Into my best trips. Upset how it changed...in any way, some years ago an in-law of my husband married a man from Austria and went to live there. She is a nurse. She says it's very better than Latin America (well, obviously it's to believe whatever central and northern European area is very better than most of Latin America: we are still third world).

Wow, @wakeupkitty! What a fantastic tour of the Great Market Hall in Budapest! Your photos really capture the grandeur and vibrancy of the place. The Zsolnay tile roof is stunning, and it's great to know about the history behind the building too.
I appreciate the practical tips you've included – especially the heads-up about the food prices (and the secret Aldi in the cellar!). This is exactly the kind of insider information that makes Steemit so valuable. Thanks for sharing your Budapest adventures. I'm definitely adding the Market Hall to my list for when I finally visit. Upvoted and resteemed! Anyone else been to Budapest or planning a trip? Let's hear your experiences and tips in the comments!
Architecture captures my attention
For sure you have plenty to share
