Kozponti Antikvarium: "Old books and maps starting from the 15th century" Top 5 Page for this destination Budapest Shopping Tip by MedioLatino

Kozponti (Central) Antikvarium is the oldest second-hand bookstore in Budapest, existing since 1881, where you can buy old books, maps and prints starting from the years 1400 until now.

Since it's opening the area became a paradise for book fans (before WW1 the street already had 37 bookstores!), with many second hand shops on Muzeum korut and huge new bookstores on Rakoczi ut near Astoria.

What to pay: Fair prices, cheaper then else, but not the cheapest.

Address: 5t district, Muzeum korut 13-15.
Directions: The store is between Astoria (M2 underground station) and Kalvin ter (M3 underground station) almost in front of the National Museum...well...not exactly, but on the other side of the road anyway :)
