Where to Shop in Budapest, Hungary

Video Transcript

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sarah Satmari, and I'm a tour guide in Budapest and I work for Yellow Zebra Absolute Tours, and we're here on behalf of Expert Village. Let me tell you about the style of Budapest. The trendiest here, is if you go to a shop, which is a kind of international shop, like the bizarre, or Benetton's for instance, or Marks and Spencer, and we like the trendy things. Since the boarders of ours are open, during the communist years, for half a century we did not really know about trend here in Hungary. So now in days, since the boarders are open since 1989, we've had the chance to change the communist regime. We're ready to wear the stylish stuff, alright. So if you just walk a little bit along the Danube, still in a lovely little street, which is the longest pedestrian street of Budapest. We name it the Vatsy Street, you find dozen of these shops, dozens of cafes, where you can just get in and have a sip of coffee maybe if you're tired while you're shopping. But of course we really like, the old traditional folk costumes of ours as well, we have different regions here in this country. And in the different regions the people wear the different clothes. So here and there, when you just see this kind or those kind of folk costumes and you can't be sure that all of them are Hungarian folk costume's, but from the different regions. And when you see these different folk costumes and of course the different traditions, you can recognize in the meantime."
