Gyula’s leafy, canopy-covered market square is a local favorite for a reason: it’s warm, welcoming, and feels like a small-town gathering every time it opens. Shoppers hunting for genuine local products can load up on cheeses, vegetables, fruit, honey, and jams. From fresh cow’s milk and dairy to homemade sausages and smoked ham, the selection is generous on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at the Gyula Market. If you’re into flavors that reflect the countryside, this is your spot.

What to expect
This is the historic spa town’s market, so you’ll find a mix of Gyula flavors and country classics. Think farmhouse-style sausages, regional cheeses, jars of golden honey and sun-thickened jams, and stall after stall of crisp greens and seasonal fruit. It’s an easy place to chat with producers, sample a slice of something smoky, and pick up breakfast for the week.
Wellness and stays: more than a market trip
Gyula doesn’t do half measures when it comes to unwinding. The town’s historic, romantic setting doubles as a playground for couples, a good-time base for groups of friends, fun for kids, wellness for parents, and a genuine recharge for seniors. Family-friendly wellness hotels here go out of their way to make sure every generation gets a carefree break.
