You'll always have the option of going to a grocery store (SPAR, ABC) but you'll find a more cultural experience at local farmer markets. (Szimpla Kert Sunday Market, Fovamteri Piac as well as the Vasarcsarno Central Market)
BP's largest malls are Mammut in Buda and WestEnd in Pest. But why go brand name capitalistic conglomerate shopping when there is an awesome second hand store culture in Budapest. Keep your eyes peeled for stores that say Angex, Háda and Humana as well as boutique thrift stores!
The streets in BP that are geared for shoppers are Vaci utca and also a newly built Fashion Street, between Vörösmarty Square and Deak Square.

Enjoy shopping at the ground floor, taste "langos" - deep fried flat bread with cheese and sour cream on it. Go up to the first floor and taste some hungarian meat dishes and sausages at Laci konyha - always fresh. There are places to buy some hungarian wine as well.

Be stoked that someone gave away their clothes because they essentially gave them a second chance. Now it's in your hands for a third off the original price tag and in, just like new quality. Long live reincarnation through second hand clothes!

I found this store on the web while looking for a t-shirt with 'Joy Division - Unknown pleasures album cover' pattern and they were almost the only ones in Budapest to have it. If you would describe yourself as someone with a unique style and loving weird stuff most people don't appreciate I suggest you going to Szputnyik. You'll love it! Guys too!

Right off of the 4,6 tram at Széna tér. Enter either Mammut II that has the Mammoth outside of it or through Mammut I. If there is anything you need, it's here and if you're in that eye candy window shopping mood, it's here.

It's located in one of the loveliest parts of Budapest - on Ferenc Liszt square, where cafes, music and city buzz are concentrated. It's one of the few alternatives of book retail chains.
So if for any reason you still prefer printed books to digital ones - go to the place, you will find adherents there.

They hold different theme months, like American, French or Hungarian. Sometimes you can eat a statue of liberty cup cake, another time you have to settle for the Eiffel tower. This place is a real eye-candy, so if you'd like to please your eyes and feed your sugar addiction, don't waste a minute.

Don't walk far for items when you can go to West End Mall and get it all done at one stop. After that catch the tram or train and keep it moving.

This market place is everything as the world upgrades to a loss of culture within consumerism. Support local sellers and embrace the crafts, trinkets and Hungarian memorabilia as well as the moment at large. This market is next to the well known tourist geared VACI UT. and its strip is well worth a walk down.

Shopping is difficult when you don't know what you want. Do you wanna dress up in vintage classics or rock some new designer threads? This store takes away the obstacle of having to check out two stores when trying to catch up with vintage and designer labels. A montage of the two styles within this store, is a win win.

if you are under the pressure of buying small affordable souvenirs for friends, sending postcard, or if you would like a piece of Hungary to take back home. The variety of calendars with gigantic illustrations, very decent selection of wrapping papers, Hungarian motif bags, and postcards for all occasions in Hungarian and English too!

You will definitely find something funny or beautiful matching your taste :) It belongs to a young couple, they are very kind and also make some of the products themselves. The store is right next to a second hand store (called SZIA) where you can bring and leave stuff you don't need anymore.

The enterior of the store is quite steril, mostly black&white which complements perfectly the colorful clothes hanging on the walls. You probably won't find many pieces of one item (only different sizes) but that's the point. Staff is very helpful and they usually know the desingers personally so feel free to ask them about the clothes.
