The Hold Street Marketplace or Market Hall V, now officially known as Downtown Market, is one of the six great Budapest market halls built under the monarchy in Hungary.

The building between Moon Street and Vadász Street in the 5th District was built between 1892 and 1896 as the No. 5 marketplace by Győző Czigler. The 2107 m2 eclectic-style hall had 190 permanent and 80 temporary stores, as well as police and rescue rooms, a coffee shop, a fairgrounds, and a restaurant and a meat test room.
In 2014, the Market Hall was renovated and renamed the Downtown Market. Today it operates primarily as a produce market.
