Online Update to Kaufman Green Guide Budapest due to Sunday Closing Law

Recently a new law was passed which will impact what is open in Budapest.  The law requires certain businesses to be closed on Sundays.  Below is the impact on different types of businesses.

Grocery stores: Unless they are family run only or less than 200 square meters, will likely be required to be closed.  However, there is an exemption for stores that sell baked good and dairy products from 5am to noon.  

    

Retail Stores (such as clothing stores): Unless they are family run only or less than 200 square meters, will be required to be closed, except during Advent.  

Museums: Are exempted and will still be open on Sunday.  But also be aware there is a project going on to renovate and even move some museums to City Park so museums in Kaufman Green Guide Budapest may be closed during your trip.  

Thermal Baths: Are exempted and will still be open on Sunday.  

Pharmacies: Exempted.

Restaurants: Exempted, but some restaurants are closed on the weekend or on Sunday already.   

Airport (and train/bus depots): Exempted.  

Newsstands: Exempted.  

Great Market Hall: Was already closed on Sundays, except the Aldi's in the basement.  With the new law it would appear Aldi's will no longer be allowed to be open on Sundays.  

West End Mall: Likely most stores would not be allowed to be open on Sundays, except during Advent.
