This shopping road on the Pest side of Duna is really nothing to see. Overpriced restaurants, gypsies begging and trying to sell you cell phones and souvenirs made in Hong Kong made us activley avoiding it. If you are looking for western brands and restaurants you might like it, but take the subway a couple of stations east and explore... More

Also many hungarian restaurants as well as fast food outlets(yuck) the restaurants are great, not to expensive and you will get big helpings! so don't order too many courses or you waste them. Located close to the danube running parallel to it on the Pest side.

Most of our evening walks came along here at some point. Lively tourist spot with lots of cafes and restaurants.

As a tourist in Budapest (if you not are careful), you'll fall a permitted and easy prey to all those creative Hungarian sly dogs who have made it to their main task to take your money away from you. Vaci Utka is a very nice street where to just spend your time and most of the restaurants and shops are... More

Variety of stores and restaurants! Good place to grab a bite to eat and shop. My husband needed sunglasses and we easily found a pair!

It is the place where everybody who visits Budapest finally arrives. You shouldn't miss this either. However, beware of restaurants and shops on the Váci street, they are quite expensive. You'll find very good, way cheaper Hungarian restaurants just a few streets away.

Then walking along the... More

It’s mostly a tourist attraction these days, with lots of over-priced restaurants, small souvenir shops, and larger brand-name stores mixed amongst the fabulous architecture. Western tourist traps are also found here…namely the Hard Rock Café and McDonald’s. When walking down Váci utca, keep your eye open... More

Vaci Street was very disappointing. Glad we didn't make any huge effort or go out of our way to get there. Extremely touristy, pushing folks hawking stuff, overpriced stores, no local flavor. For shopping, go to Central Market. For restaurants go to Raday Utca or Marcellos across in Buda.
