What is good to buy if its your last stop before flying out
Hello Paula,
Thank you for contacting us.
We recommend taking Hungarian Paprika powder and smoked Hungarian Salamis as they are easy to carry, and they also make nice gifts.
Can we meet the tasting tour at the market. We are not great walkers. We will be taking the tram. We are traveling on a Viking River Boat trip.
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Market Tours are currently not available, thank you for your kind understanding.
