Esztergom’s beloved antiques market is back on Sunday, December 14, 2025, running 7:00–14:00 at the Esztergom Market (Esztergom Piac), 2500 Esztergom, 26–32 Simor János Street. It’s the city’s monthly treasure hunt, held every second Sunday throughout 2025. Come early, roam the aisles, haggle if you’re bold, and take home a piece of the past.
What You’ll Find
Expect a colorful spread from table vendors: antique porcelain, crystal glasses, old silver and metal cutlery, vintage and classic furniture, paintings, clocks, vinyl records, toys, and all kinds of curiosities. Whether you’re chasing a mid-century lamp, a hand-painted plate, or that one LP to complete your collection, there’s plenty to sift through.
How to Make the Most of It
Arrive at opening for the best picks, bring cash, and don’t be shy about negotiating—dealers are friendly and the atmosphere is lively. With rotating sellers each month, fresh finds keep the hunt exciting all year.

Pros
+
Easy day trip from Budapest to a charming Danube town; Esztergom is on many travelers’ radars for its basilica even if the market itself is a hidden gem
+
Family-friendly vibe: open-air stalls, lively but relaxed, and plenty of curiosities to keep kids entertained for an hour or two
+
No Hungarian needed: numbers and smiles go a long way when haggling; many vendors know basic English, and prices are easy to negotiate
+
Good public transport access: frequent trains or buses from Budapest, then a short local walk/taxi; driving and parking are straightforward on a Sunday morning
+
Great for vinyl, toys, and design lovers—solid mix of mid‑century pieces, porcelain, and small packable souvenirs
+
Monthly schedule means repeat visits can yield totally different finds
+
Compared with big European flea markets (Paris, Berlin, Vienna), prices tend to be friendlier and crowds lighter, making browsing less stressful
Cons
–
Limited international name recognition, so you won’t find extensive English info or reviews ahead of time
–
Not a full-day attraction by itself; the market wraps by early afternoon, so plan extra sights (basilica, river views)
–
Cash is king and ATMs nearby can be sporadic—come prepared with forints
–
Winter dates can be cold and occasionally damp, which can cut browsing time short
