Market Port – the philosophy
Our goal is to evoke the old market boats with the products and the food which you can taste during shopping.
The shop that takes back our guests to the past with every bite.
The products, which are from craftsmen producers from the countryside, have been transported to Budapest – just like how they were with the market boat routes. This way, we can have a taste of the countryside without leaving Budapest. These products can be used at home or function as a nice gift.
We hope that these types of attractions can contribute to the popularity of Budapest and cruising and can make the city and the tourists satisfied.
See you at the Chain Bridge, Vigado pier 2, every day!
Tastes of the countryside on the Kossuth Museum boat
The Kossuth Museum boat was a relevant determinative of public transport boats in its active years. Today is in its final harbor at the Chain Bridge not traveling any more, but waiting travellers to visit the museum it offers as part of the Budapest Boat Museum.
The “Kossuth” boat was once functioning as a ’market boat’ between Mohács-Budapest and Esztergom-Budapest, bringing merchandise to Budapest from the countriside.
On these routes, producers from the countryside were travelling to Budapest with their products to sell those on the market. They were transporting animals, fruits and vegetables. As the supply chain developed, these routes became rarer and passengers started to go on trips by the boats rather than using them for merchant reasons.
