Not a fancy Christmas. The reality of Hungary in 2011. But still Christmas time and we are preparing…

Hunyadi tér market
In the morning at Hunyadi tér market near Oktogon. I love the mood of the old Budapest markets.
At the market
Walking beside the Central Market. The first days of the Spring were really wonderful during the last weekend:)
Saturday morning at the market
Saturday morning at the Hunyadi square market in Budapest. Nice sunny (but still chilly) morning.
Winter’s Special Protection | Mihály Vörösmarty
Downtown Pest. Here’s where the Carrara marble statue of Mihály Vörösmarty can be found. If you are a tourist visiting during this time, you see it only in this manner. Just because in Winter, this statue is protected in this ‘bubble-like’ special protective material.
Ede Kallós and architect Ede Telcs had their work made from Haraszt quarry limestone blocks. Mihály Vörösmarty is surrounded by figures representing all classes of society: worker with his wife and small son, man wearing traditional ceremonial clothes, woman with a baby in her arms, schoolboy, old peasant, farmer and peasant girl, gentlewoman and grown-up student, shepherd boy, and old woman with her grandchild.

Open air market
I like the mood of the old open air markets in Budapest. This one is at the Hunyadi square in the VIth district.
Klauzál square market
Not the large Vásárcsarnok at the Vámház krt. is the only indoor market of Budapest. There are several smaller places, too. For example this one at the Klauzál square in the VIIth district.
Virágház
Virágház means flowerhouse. It’s pretty exaggerating calling a little flowershop like this as a house. The shop is right in front of the St. János (St. John) hospital in Buda.
Vámház körút
We have dark rainy days again. The photo was taken yesterday at Vámház Körút. The building is the large market called Vásárcsarnok. A popular tourist destination.
Hungarian paprika and garlic
Hungarian paprika and garlic at the Vásárcsarnok. One of the biggest market in Budapest.
International Exotic Market
