Of course, we know very well that the new book smells like no other, but the same applies to the mysterious atmosphere of antique shops. We also recommend some things to do in Budapest, from which you will definitely not leave empty-handed.
Archaeological place
I couldn’t give a more mysterious name. District, which is the private antiquities, A Hely, located in Erőd utca. In addition to antique and rare books, you can browse the pages of your heart’s choice, sitting in a comfortable armchair, among the long shelves, which also offer modern volumes. And if we need help, our salespeople dedicated to a love of books will welcome you with open arms.

Minerva Anticare
Almost opposite the Átrium, across from Margit körút, you can find the Minerva Antikvárium. In addition to books, old drawings and engravings, rare paper artifacts, maps and postcards, as well as treasure hunters who are passionate about antique trinkets, often visit here with pleasure.

antique font
Exactly halfway between Oktogon and Vörösmarty utca, and among the mansions on Andrássy út, the book empire has found a home. If you are somewhere in between, you can certainly immerse yourself in the Font Antikvárium, which is just over 30 years old, but you can also get lost among the many ancient, but most valuable, books.

central effects
In the heart of Budapest, in the Múzeum korút, already densely lined with antiquarians, the Központi Antikvárium has been waiting for book lovers with its shelves full since 1891. In Hungary’s largest archaeological museum, in addition to ancient and modern books, manuscripts, diplomas, magazines, old postcards and photographs are also looking for a home New one by one.

Eiffel Bazar Club
If you are looking for ancient treasures, the safest place in the capital is the Eiffel Bazaar and Club on Katuna Joseph Street. This is true even if we are looking for antique books, as there are many bookshelves and sometimes copies advertised during book auctions, vintage posters and paper antiques just waiting to find a new home.

Krisztina Antiquarian
Located in the heart of Krisztinaváros, next to Déryné Bisztroja, the Krisztina Antiquarium can be found by both treasure hunters and librarians alike.
