Where to shop in Budapest

Although we mostly refer to high street and high fashion brands, you will also find information on more commercial brands and even places that mix clothing with accessories and some gifts to take friends back home.

Andrássy út

We must start with the luxury and splendour of what is the most famous avenue, not only in Budapest, but in the whole of Hungary; Andrássy Avenue or Andrássy út.

To walk along Andrássy Avenue is to walk in luxury and style. Everything is designed to be a pleasure; from the rich and beautiful facades of the buildings, to the decoration chosen in its cafés and shops.

But this is nothing new. Andrássy Avenue was conceived to be like this from the very first minute of its construction at the end of the 19th century. In those days it was designed as a boulevard that would be home to the city’s upper class, from bankers and aristocrats to diplomats and business people.

The beauty and style in every detail of the palaces that appeared here was a must. Every detail has been taken care of and pampered to create a place with a unique style in the country. More than two kilometres of avenue that crosses the centre of Budapest and ends at one of the most spectacular places in the Hungarian capital: Heroes’ Square.

The ambition to show more wealth and good taste created a very special environment where brands from all over the world show their latest creations. In 2002 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

As you walk around you will see the names of great designers, luxury watch and accessory brands; Louis Vuitton, Dior, Armani or Rolex among many others.

This location is not only special because of the concentration of big brands, but also because of everything that surrounds it. One of the main monuments of Budapest is located right on Andrássy Avenue; the Opera House.

This neo-Renaissance building is one of the most beautiful buildings in Budapest and is the absolute symbol of what Andrássy Avenue stands for.

Váci Utca

We do not fail to see charming places, which are known for their importance in the history of the city of Budapest.

We are not only talking about a central and important location nowadays, but also about one of the most historical places in Budapest. This street was the entrance to the old walled city in the Middle Ages.

In this street, which is just over a kilometre long, you will find a mixture of luxury shops and more commercial brands, as well as shops where you can buy souvenirs of Budapest, from magnets to bottles of pálinka.

It is a fantastic place for leisure, as in addition to the numerous shops that will delight fashion lovers, you can relax in one of its many restaurants and cafes.

In addition, this pedestrian street will take you to other must-see places in Budapest such as the Elisabeth Bridge, known locally as Erzsébet híd, one of the most famous bridges in the capital, and Vörösmarty Square, one of the most important squares in Budapest.

All this makes a stroll along the Váci Utca one of the highlights of your Budapest holiday.
