Synopsis

Phillips and Scotchmer are winners of the coveted Guidebook of the Year award. Comprehensively updated - while still full of colourful reflection and corny gags - this second edition of Budapest has also been thoroughly refreshed and reformatted with a swish new design, far more colour and photographs, and easier-to-use grid-referenced maps. It is the essential travel companion to a city that sits outside the euro zone and therefore offers better value than some of its European neighbours. As well as short breaks and business conferences, Budapest has a growing reputation for affordable dental work, cosmetic surgery and luxury spa treatments - so visitors can really return 10 years younger...Bradt's new edition of "Budapest" will suit the culture vulture, the gastronome, the naturalist and the water baby alike. So whether travelling on business, for pleasure or for pain, in high style or with finances frankly 'a beka segge alat' ('lower than a frog's arse'), this is the book to buy.

Media Reviews
'As informative as ever. Combining an engaging, light-hearted tone with stylish prose and layout, this guide tempts you into digesting large chunks in one sitting. Dare I say it, perfect airport reading.' Duncan Craig, Deputy Travel Editor, Daily Express 'An insightful, eminently readable guide that gets the visitor under the skin of this city.' Kate Simon, Travel Editor, Independent on Sunday 'Comprehensive, clear-eyed and full of subtle insights. This guide is a pleasure to read, and a fine companion to one of Eastern Europe's greatest cities.' Dan Linstead, Editor, Wanderlust 'Bradt Travel Guides are famous for their enthusiasm for going where no other travel guides have...packed full of useful information...for somebody intending on visiting Budapest and also for those who know the city superficially and would like to go deeper.' Where magazine 'What I read by authors Adrian Phillips and Jo Scotchmer was ever so entertaining. Bradt is very good at putting the finger on the specifics of Hungarian life that can surprise visitors...Besides providing the inevitable information...this guidebook that actually does fit into your pocket is very strong on providing the little, interesting pieces of information you can usually only get through local friends...Attention is also paid to spelling...The Bradt guide is an indispensable companion for a visit to this fabulous city.' The Budapest Sun 'Guides to Hungary are often weighed down by the serious, self-conscious and even pompous attitude to the tragic history of the Carpathian Basin. Phillips and Scotchmer bring the refreshing irreverence of an external examination yet treat the subject with affection and respect...Phillips and Scotchmer have pounded the streets of the Hungarian capital and hunted down local characters and characteristics to bring the mini guide alive. The guide is written in a smooth, informative style, packed with details yet never lecturing...A section on 'Natural Budapest' reveals information which I have never seen in a guidebook.' The Budapest Times
