Vasarcsarnok - Grant Market Hall, Budapest, Hungary
The Great Market Hall or Central Market Hall (Hungarian "Nagycsarnok"), on Fővám Tér in the 9th district, is the largest indoor market in Budapest. It was designed and built by Samu Pecz .
A great number of stalls offer a huge variety of vegetables, fruit, cheese and meat. The roof has been restored to the distinctive Zsolnay tiling.
Most of the stalls on the ground floor offer popular souvenirs such as paprika, tokaji, and caviar. In the 1st floor you can find typical tourist articles, such as pictures, dolls, glasses, tablecloths, chess boards and clothes made in Hungarian style.
The market is closed on Sunday, opens at 6am on other days, and closes at 5pm Monday, 6pm Tue-Fri and 2pm Saturday.
在匈牙利首都布达佩斯多瑙河佩斯一侧的自由桥桥头附近,有一座壮观的新哥特式建筑,古色古香,那就是布达佩斯著名的“大购物馆”——中央市场。
中央市场始建于1897年,1994年进行重新整修。在中央市场里,传统和现代融为一体。从地面一层去楼上,既可以沿着古朴的木质楼梯拾级而上,也可搭乘现代化的电梯长驱直入。较之楼下两层,楼上的商品更具有文化的味道。这里的小铺子出售具有匈牙利民族风格的民间手工艺品,吸引很多外国游客光顾。
众多的小卖部、小酒吧也是这里的特色之一,很多人在吧台喝上一大杯价格便宜的啤酒,或者饮上一小杯匈牙利有名的“杜卡伊”葡萄酒,再吃上几片薄薄的熏肉,十分悠闲自在。
中央市场一直是展示布达佩斯普通居民日常生活甚至是匈牙利经济的一扇小窗口。当年一些西方国家政要来匈访问,这里几乎是必到的参观之处。在今日的布达佩斯,跨国集团开设的现代化大型超市和购物中心处处可见,商业竞争日趋激烈。但是从中央市场里熙熙攘攘的顾客和红红火火的生意场面来看,这个古老而具有传统民族特色的大市场不仅运作良好,而且魅力日增。看来,在商业活动中注入民族和历史文化的因素,是其保持青春的秘诀所在。
