The distinctions emerge when you delve into the details. Some general points include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All major European retail chains operate in Hungary: Tesco, Lidl, Spar, Metro, and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a vast number of shopping malls, supermarkets, and regular stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every city has a central market where you can buy vegetables, meat, pastry, and everything you can find at a typical market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"best place to buy vegetables and fruits in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-393\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:706px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Externally, any market or shop in Hungary is similar to those in our country. This is the central market in Budapest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Useful to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Prices for vegetables, fruits, and meat at Hungarian markets are generally not significantly different from prices in chain stores. We&#8217;re accustomed to markets being cheaper, but that&#8217;s not the case in Hungary. Where to buy groceries is your decision to make.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding Hungarian shopping malls, there are a few peculiarities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s common for restrooms in large shopping malls to be paid, typically around 0.5 &#8211; 1 euro. It&#8217;s unusual for me since I live in a country where access to a restroom is considered a basic human need, and they are 99% free. But not here \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking in shopping malls is often paid, especially if it&#8217;s underground parking. Usually, the first 30 or 60 minutes are free, and then it&#8217;s around 1.5 euros per hour.

Generally, markets and shops in Hungary open early and close early as well. Hungary is a country for early birds. Those who love nightlife beyond Budapest may be disappointed; many areas are pretty much deserted after 8 in the evening. Only in Budapest is there a full-fledged nightlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-2.jpg\" alt=\"markets in hungary\" class=\"wp-image-394\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Market opening hours in Szeged.

Most markets are open seven days a week, including Mondays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grocery stores, including major chains, open at 6:3am or 7am. By 7am, 80% of grocery stores are already open. However, they close at 8-9pm. On Sundays, there might be reduced operating hours. Always check the current schedule of the shopping center you plan to visit on Google Maps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On public holidays, most stores are usually closed.

If a store is open, you can purchase cigarettes and any type of alcohol. Here are some general points to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alcohol is sold in any store.

They are not open 24\/7, and their hours vary from place to place, typically closing around 10 PM. You can recognize these shops by the logo of &#8220;18&#8221; in a red circle, resembling a &#8220;no entry&#8221; road sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-4-813x1024.jpg\" alt=\"How do liquor stores work in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-387\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 18+ liquor stores, you an also buy cigarettes here.

If all other stores are closed, this is an excellent alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Important note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Here&#8217;s information that will help you save money and avoid misunderstandings.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In Hungary, there is a large network of 24-hour stores called &#8220;ABC.&#8221; Here&#8217;s what you need to know about them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;ABC&#8221; is the name for 24-hour stores. There are various chains of these stores, such as Roni ABC, Manna ABC, and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The prices there are astronomical. Half of the price tags do not reflect reality, and you might be quite surprised at the checkout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The staff usually does not speak English, and the assumption is that tourists struggle to convert Hungarian Forints into Euros. For example, a can of beer in any regular store costs around 0.7 euros, but in these stores, it might be priced at 3 euros.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We once bought 2 beers, a piece of cheese, and some rolls, and at the checkout, we were charged around 30 euros. Be attentive. The Roni ABC chain, in particular, tends to have this issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If possible, it&#8217;s better to steer clear of ABC stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-5.jpg\" alt=\"markets and stores in hungary\" class=\"wp-image-388\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">These are Hungary&#8217;s 24-hour stores. You would go here as a last resort if it&#8217;s 3am, and you&#8217;re really hungry or thirsty \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Payment_in_Forints_Euros_and_Cards\"><\/span>Payment in Forints, Euros, and Cards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Handling payments is quite straightforward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hungary is expected to transition to the Euro in the next few years (3-5 years). Its economy is already closely integrated with the Eurozone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can pay with cash in Forints or by card at any store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some major retail chains already accept cash Euros. The conversion rate is not favorable, but if you haven&#8217;t exchanged your money and have no cards, you won&#8217;t have to go hungry. For example, with an exchange rate of 380 Forints to 1 Euro, Spar stores would use a rate of 360 Forints. This results in about a 5-6% loss. If a store accepts Euros, there is usually information at the checkout or you can ask.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-6-643x1024.jpg\" alt=\"euros in hungarian markets\" class=\"wp-image-389\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the large Spar store chain, they already accept cash Euros.

They are entirely in Hungarian. What does this mean? I recommend reading the article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/language-in-hungary\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1918\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hungarian language for tourists<\/a>. It offers tips that will make it easier for you to read price tags, menus, and other informational signs. In a nutshell, you won&#8217;t understand anything at all because there isn&#8217;t a single familiar word to anchor your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Interesting to know:<\/p>\n<cite>For example, you might not even understand which price tag is for tomatoes and which one is for cucumbers if they are displayed side by side. This is because the Hungarian words for tomatoes and cucumbers are quite distinct and bear no resemblance to each other.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-7.jpg\" alt=\"price tags in stores in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-390\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Try to guess which product this price tag belongs to. In most European countries, many words are intuitively understandable or sound similar to other languages, but that&#8217;s not the case with Hungarian. Spoiler alert (this is about cheese).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another peculiarity in Hungarian stores is the weight of products. Here are some common examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prices are often indicated per 100 grams or 500 grams. For instance, for greens (let&#8217;s say, iceberg lettuce), the price will be for 500 grams. However, sausages, deli meats, and cheeses may be priced per 100 grams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re buying liquids, the price might be specified even per deciliter. It&#8217;s typically denoted as 1dl = 100 ml.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another thing that I don&#8217;t particularly like is that often, in the case of vegetables, the price is given per piece. This can apply to both peppers and cucumbers. You walk by a stand, see a great price for peppers, but at the checkout, it turns out it&#8217;s per piece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s important to look at the price tag: if you see Ft\/kg, it&#8217;s the price per kilogram. If it says Ft\/db, it&#8217;s the price per piece. Moreover, items that are typically sold by the kilogram in our country can easily be sold individually here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/shops-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"features of Hungarian price tags\" class=\"wp-image-391\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here&#8217;s an excellent example. Peppers on the left that are sold unpackaged are priced individually. On the right, the price is indicated per kilogram. The red arrows show where to look. Be attentive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_Tips\"><\/span>Travel Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The assortment in markets and stores in Hungary is as you&#8217;d expect in any European country. You&#8217;ll find everything you&#8217;re accustomed to. For <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/prices-in-hungary\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"176\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detailed information on food prices, all categories of products, and services<\/a> that interest tourists, check the link. From general advice, you should be aware of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most stores and markets tend to open early, or very early. But they also close relatively early in Hungary, usually by 8 or 9 PM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s a massive shopping mall in the center of Budapest with all the renowned brands, a vast supermarket, and a food court: Westend. Here are the coordinates on the map: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/qgei1282qi2M1uxG7\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/qgei1282qi2M1uxG7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">47.51394174716994, 19.059292442036647<\/a>. You can easily walk here from the Hungarian Parliament.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The biggest hurdle is the price tags. Be attentive, and read the article on the Hungarian language for tourists; it provides many useful tips. Excluding the ABC night stores, in most regular retail chain stores, the price tags reflect reality; it&#8217;s just that nothing is comprehensible to an unprepared tourist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In all supermarkets, you can buy fresh hot pastries in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I personally prefer shopping at Tesco or Spar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay attention to yellow or red price tags; most of them are exclusively for holders of the store&#8217;s loyalty card.
