Reader Reviews:

Comprehensive and accurate (2/2 people found this helpful)

This is quite simply the best guide to Budapest you can get, though as always it is in need of updating.
I've just come back from a short break in Budapest and thus book was my constant companion. I found it helpful and easy to follow. The descriptions of the sights and attractions are well-written and informative. There was nothing to criticise in the content, except that Budapest is a more expensive place than it was when this edition was published, with most galleries that are described as free now charging a substantial entrance price.

Lacking map references (12/14 people found this helpful)

The descriptions of most attractions were useful. However, for the spas and some other things, it told you all about the place but didn't give you a reference point on the map to find out where it was. This meant you spend ages searching for the place on the maps. Making a guide book seems to me a very easy and straight-forward process - the fact it is lacking in such a fundamental way seems inexcusable. I suggest you try another guide book.

P.S. the Muvesz Kavehaz was an absolutely terrible cafe/patisserie, contrary to the guide book - terrible cakes, and extremely rude staff.
