The Citadella is majestically enthroned atop the Gellért Hill above the city. After a short stroll along the Danube, MEININGER guests can marvel at the UNESCO-World Heritage Site on the Buda side and stop by the Gellert Thermal Bath for a relaxing break. Thanks to the nearby Fővám tér train station it only takes about ten minutes to reach the Central Train Station from here.

 Great Market Hall neighborhood was once an area mainly devoted to industrial work but it has subsequently been transformed into a cool and chic neighborhood with artistic works, cosy cafes and great restaurants- this is why we chose to base MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall here! On the banks of the River Danube, there is so much to see and do locally you may not feel the need to venture that far out at all! The local neighborhood has some of the most fascinating museums in the entire city including the Holocaust Memorial Center, a 1920s synagogue serving as a memorial for Hungarian Jewish Holocaust victims, and the Ludwig Museum which displays great modern works of art. Those looking to party in the evenings have the option of Budapest Park nightclub nearby.

The Great Market Hall itself (the best of the fresh food markets in the whole city) is an attraction that should be on top of the list: the abundance and mix of spices, fruits and vegetables and salty cuts of meats create a hectic and heavenly ambience that is unforgettable for a traveler. The local foods and ingredience such as Hungarian Paprika and Langos, as well as the interaction between traders and customers, create an experience unique to Budapest and this has to be felt in person!
