It’s official: Time Out Market Budapest has finally opened its doors!
What is it? Only the best culinary and cultural experiences in Budapest, all under one roof, right in the city centre. Time Out Market has already made its mark on New York, Montreal, Cape Town and, of course, Lisbon. Now it’s the turn of Hungary’s sparkling capital – now home to the very first Time Out Market in Central Europe.
The market will opened on Saturday September 20, on the first floor of the historic Corvin Palace.

Best of all – whether it’s premium street food or fine dining-inspired dishes – food here promises to be pretty affordable, too.
Where is Time Out Market Budapest and how do I get there?
The legendary Corvin Palace building can be found at Blaha Lujza tér 1, reachable by red metro M2 or the 4/6 tram. From there, you’ll be whisked up the escalators straight into the heart of the action.
What are the opening hours?
Time Out Market Budapest will be welcoming visitors every day from 11.30am to 11.30pm. Kitchens stay open until 10pm, after which the bars keep the vibe going strong until close.
The online booking system is already operational, but only a few tables can be reserved – most places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are valid for two hours, with a 15-minute grace period.
The goal here is to create a communal experience, not to focus on formality. Time Out Market's mission is simple: to offer affordable, good-quality food, here combined with an authentic presentation of Hungarian cuisine and culture.
So, if you’ve got a city break to Budapest coming up, you know what to do. Get ready to discover Budapest's new culinary and cultural hub – see you at Corvin Palace!
