About this tour
Budapest eats sweet and smoky on the same afternoon. The walk starts under the Zsolnay tiles of the Great Market Hall, where the ground floor stacks sweet and hot paprika and the fryers upstairs turn out lángos with garlic, sour cream and cheese. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
