The only one in the capital's market halls is the one on Rákóczi Square, which serves as a "fabulous gate", and through which you and your guide will have the opportunity to enter the world of the descendants of the former outlaws and highwaymen. Gangsters, grifters, burglars and pimps from Józsefváros line the paths, with the still-living memories of vulnerable prostitutes, greengrocers and other caterers, drawing the supposedly secret daily routines of criminals.
The walk is free, but registration is required and we can only accept registrations from the first 20 people who sign up. Participation will be confirmed by email.
