Obor Market

I visited Obor Market out of curiosity, but I didn’t end up buying anything. The place felt quite unclean, and the smell in some areas was really unpleasant. It might have good deals, but the overall hygiene and atmosphere need serious improvement.

Absolutely incredible market! Has all sorts. The outdoor area had fishing tackle and equipment, vegetable plants and trees and household items. There were some eateries as well which served traditional local food. The indoor section had nuts and seeds, berries, wild herbs and foraged plants, vegetables etc. There was a fresh milk booth serving fresh milk into bottles through a machine operated by a woman. It was busy. There were different types of yoghurts and preserves. There were also some stalls outside that sold locally produced wine in one litre bottles. Upstairs had boutique stuff and there was a row of butchers. We also found a cash machine there which was extremely useful as the local produce downstairs can only be paid by cash. We came across an Ayran machine where you picked a one litre empty bottle and filled it with freshly churned Ayran which was delicious. We sampled some local food outside and it was delicious. Definitely recommended!

Typical popular market with many fresh fruits and vegetables. I will recommend to buy there because cheaper than supermarket. Characteristic!

A great place to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat. Was quite clean and properly layed out aswell. You can only pay in cash here.

Another one of those picturesque and fascinating large city markets that are found all over Europe. There are a number of really good food places around the outside and I found a great little coffee stall on the inside.

This is my favorite spot in Bucharest. It's a charming local market with almost everything you could need. The fresh fruit and vegetable stalls are excellent, offering seasonal produce at very reasonable prices. There's also a section for meat and seafood, and the second floor has a variety of dry goods. I've found some great spices and natural products there. Lively and fun!

Obor Market is one of Bucharest's largest markets. It is accessible by public transportation. From the moment you walk in, you are immediately greeted by a colorful and bustling scene. Many produce vendors sell their goods to locals and a few tourists. Upstairs, there are many shops selling raw and cured meats, cheese, spices, wine, and other goods. You will have a difficult time choosing a vendor because many of them sell similar products. Outside of the market building, you will find other vendors selling flowers, hardware, and household goods. My favorite area is where the food vendors are. Try some mici, Romania's famous sausage. Never a full moment at this wonderful market!

Enjoyed strolling through the market on a sunny late summer day. Especially enjoying the fruits and vege stalls. Nice leisurely walk to enjoy Romanian local markets
