Szamos Marzipan

Budapest’s first family of marzipan runs this tiny retail shop (they also own the Ruszwurm Café on Castle Hill). Look for chocolate-covered flavored marzipan in pretty gift boxes, assorted chocolate nougats, artfully made marzipan flowers and, in the summer, some of the city’s best ice cream. From Szamos it’s an easy stroll up Váci Utca to Vörösmarty Tér, a leafy square where you can sit and enjoy your sweet purchases.
