Eger’s beloved Antique Fair pops up on the third Sunday of every month from 6:00 to 16:00, spreading beside and behind Bárány Swimming Pool (Bárány Uszoda) on Petőfi Sándor Square. In months with five Sundays, the city doubles the fun with a bonus market on the fifth Sunday, too. Drivers should aim for the Kertész Street parking garage. Expect one of Hungary’s biggest treasure hunts, where the city’s historic vibe meets the charm of past centuries.
What to hunt for
Collectors, decorators, and curious wanderers sift through old furniture, porcelain, coins, books, paintings, and unique antique finds. Stalls often feature pieces several decades or even centuries old—conversation starters that add serious character to any home.
Why it’s special
This isn’t just shopping—it’s time travel. More than a hundred vendors arrive from almost every corner of the country, setting up in a storybook downtown setting near the Eger Thermal and Beach Bath (Egri Termál- és Strandfürdő), the Turkish Bath (Török Fürdő), and Bárány Swimming Pool (Bárány Uszoda). Meander through winding lanes toward the main market square, taking in thousands of curiosities along the way. The friendly hustle, the historic backdrop, and the ever-changing mix keep regulars coming back month after month.
