Regarding shopping you can choose between the food stores
(ABC) and the friendly small shops, which can be found
every corner walking along the streets on the one hand
and the shopping centres and supermarkets on the other
hand. Food stores are generally open from 6 or 7 am
to 7 or 8 pm. At the same time there are several non-stop
stores, which operate for longer time, in the best case
for 24 hours. The shops are not closed for lunchtime.
Generally small non-stop stores are more expensive than
bigger food stores. If you go for shopping, please note
that the smaller shops not always receive bankcard although
this kind of payment is spreading in Hungary.
