Haris Bazaar
Haris köz - Haris Bazaar
Haris köz is located between Váci Street and Petőfi Sándor Street, near to Ferenciek Squre. You can reach it easily by car or public transport. Haris köz is a special jewel of Budapest with its unique offer and more than 100 years history.
The shops wait for you with special products and services. They live in harmony with each other and their surroundings, although they live through a lot in the past. Now the Brudern house is under construction as well as the Parisi Court so you cannot access Haris from here. The entrepreneurs of Haris decided that they want to show themselves to the world and get into the centre of the tourist’s interest. Discover this special place and its colorful offer with us!
