Why Great Market Hall matters
The hall is a feast: stalls piled with paprika, sausages, pastries and pickles on the ground floor, and fast food and souvenirs above. Try langos, a deep-fried flatbread with toppings. Go in the morning for the freshest atmosphere.
Talking points
- Langos is a popular snack upstairs.
- The roof is a patterned tile design.
- Paprika makes a good souvenir.
