The Flea Market in Budapest is said to be one of the best in Europe, and this is the place to come for great second hand products. This is though not to cheap, so I would rather recommend this place to those interested in old and special products, and who are willing to pay for it.

In the Ecseri Flea Market you will find old instruments, chairs, tables, paintings, nazi and communist symbols and other old stuff. Bargaining is allowed and recommended! Take care: some of the products not so old and not so valuable as they can be seen.
