27.08. Buda - Pest

In the morning we went shopping to the Great Market Hall (Hungarian: Nagycsarnok) is the largest indoor market in Budapest. It was designed and built by Samu Pecz around 
1896 and has specific coloured tiled roof.

The market is huge, filled up with vegetables, salami and paprika & spices shops at the ground floor. 
The upper floor is tighter, full of smaller stalls with standard souvenirs ('antique' army clothes, Russian Matryoshka dolls etc.), but also traditional hand-painted crockery and lots of embroidery from different regions of Hungary. 

And we even found a converse type of shoes with traditional embroidery.

In the afternoon we visited the Szechenyin Thermal Baths. The water in the baths comes from a hot-spring from the Saint Stephen Well Nr. II. It contains calcium, magnesium, hydro-carbonate, sodium, sulphate, fluoride and metaboric acid. 
In short, the water smells slightly unpleasantly, however it heals.
