Budapest - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

There are interesting antique shops and a large flea market that are fun to visit. Wooden furniture is popular, as is pottery. But I would not classify this as a “shopping post.” - Feb 2020
