We spent the free morning we had with a quick visit to the Central Market Hall, which is a very popular shopping area for locals and tourists. The Central Market Hall building was built in 1897 with great architecture, tiled roofs and colorful facade of patterned orange bricks. We visited 3 levels of the building, the bottom had a variety of seafood, middle floor sold groceries, and the top floor sold souvenirs. While shopping we got to learn a lot about the overall entrepreneurial spirit the locals had, they were friendly, trustworthy and helped us pick the best products we needed. We attempted to negotiate prices for the things we bought, as a result, we were able to save Ft 1,000 ($3.4) on products worth Ft 6,800 ($23). After shopping, we walked back to our hotel (D8Hotel), which was about a 20-minute walk to meet with the rest of the RBLP group.
For lunch, we went to SEASONS BISTRO, a premium downtown Budapest restaurant with contemporary local and international flavors and a truly cozy ambiance set against the heritage building of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. At the restaurant we got try a local dish which included chicken paprikash with dumplings and mixed pickles apple strudel. After the warm dish, we paid a quick visit to the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music then departed for Process Solutions.
