According to locals you can find anything at this busy flea market -- from the glorious to the kitsch, old soda siphons to antique violins, and more. Well, if you're not prone to sensory overload, you can see for yourself. Row after row of wooden tables overflow with old dishes, toys, linens, old watches, paintings, and bric-a-brac. From the tiny cubicles in the narrow corridors, serious dealers market their wares: Herend and Zsolnay porcelain, Bulgarian and Russian icons, silverware, furniture, clocks, rugs, prewar dolls and stuffed animals, antique clothing, and jewelry. Due to all the tourist attention, mostly weekend shoppers, the prices have increased severely. Some bargains can still be made, but sellers are less willing to seriously barter with tourists. Haggle over the price, but in some instances, you will not budge the seller too far from the original price. Antiques buyers: Be aware that you'll need permission from the Museum of Applied Arts to take your purchases out of the country. Only cash is accepted for purchases. I personally think it is difficult to get to and not worth the effort. Unless you have plenty of time in the city, you're much better off spending it elsewhere. The market runs weekdays 8am to 4pm, Saturday 6am to 3pm, and Sunday 8am to 1pm.
