  Shopping Streets

  Váci utca became a fashionable shopping street at the end of the 18th century. In the Middle Ages, the length of this street (1300 metres, just under a mile) equalled the length of the city of Pest. The two separate parts of Váci utca, to the north and the south of Elizabeth Bridge, are totally different.

• Markets

  Budapest's covered market halls were built in the 1890-s during the city development boom to replace the existing open-air markets.
