Gyula’s leafy, canopied marketplace serves up a warm, friendly, almost family vibe three times a week. Shoppers hunting for local goods can load up on cheeses, vegetables, fruit, honey, and jams—plus fresh cow’s milk and dairy straight from producers, and house-made sausages and hams. The Gyula Market runs Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday with a generous spread that keeps regulars coming back.

What to Expect
This historic spa town’s market spotlights top-quality produce and pantry staples: rustic sausages, artisanal cheeses, golden honey, seasonal jams, and crisp greens and fruits. It’s the kind of place where vendors know their products and regulars swap recipes at the stalls.
Make a Day of It
Near the Gyula Almásy Castle Visitor Center (Gyulai Almásy-kastély Látogatóközpont), the café rubs shoulders with a museum gift shop staffed by a team ready with charming finds. It’s open 10:00–18:00 daily except Monday.
Sweet Heritage
Swing by the Hundred-Year-Old Confectionery (Százéves Cukrászda), Hungary’s second-oldest confectionery, operating since 1840. Inside its elegant Empire-style building, painted walls and original Biedermeier furniture set the scene for classic cakes, parfaits, candies, and ice cream. Restored in 1984–1986 to revive Reform Era vibes, its former workshop now houses a pastry museum of period tools. A major 2004 renovation kept this Southern Great Plain gem dazzling and delicious.
