I will be in Budapest and in Krakow in December. I would like to buy a wooden chess set for my grandson. Nothing ornate, just a nice locally carved set. Anyone know where I would have the best luck finding this?
In krakow I would check Cloth Hall which is in the city center. I purchased many beautiful hand carved items.
Either the Budapest Great Market Hall (have seen many there) and I bought a nice one at the Christmas Market about 6 years ago.
Yes, the Great Market has many vendors who sell chess sets. They are mostly not Staunton design, but are nice anyway.
