Ideal for business and leisure, the "Budapest CityPack" is succinct with all the practical information you need. The guide has been completely revamped with new content design and layout. There are four main sections: Essential..., By Area, Where to Stay and Need to Know. Budapest has been broken up into colour-coded districts, with the colour-coding cross-referenced throughout each section.Essential...starts with the Top 25 sights plus a locator map, then essential information to get the most of a short break in the city. By Area takes you through the sights of the city, district by district, with local shopping, entertainment and restaurant listings. Where to Stay picks the best hotels to suit your budget, with web addresses listed where available. Need to Know contains all the basics for a smooth-running trip. Each district within the city has a two-page, colour-coded locator map with sights listed. A folded map of Budapest contained within a poppered pocket is included at the back of the book.

While I'll always vouch for Rough Guide's country guides, if you're after a City Guide the AA CityPacks are definitely the best place to turn to.
Practically, they are small and sturdy, with a good hard spine. They'll easily fit into any bag, even a woman's handbag, or even a pocket.
They also divide cities up into manageable chunks and provide good maps for each individual area, while enabling you to see how all the areas link up. As you'd expect, all the sightseeing or other recommendations in the book are also marked on the maps.
Nightlife, shopping and restaurants are covered in each section, along with tourist highlights, so you're whole day is pretty much covered. There are also additional sections on hotels, getting around, language, history and day trips from Budapest.
Most importantly, as far as my experience led me to discover, there are no factual errors. All the places actually still exist; are open and closed when the guide says; metro and other prices are correct and the summaries of things to do are to the point and on target.
The best guide book is the one you don't notice you have in the day - it's unobtrusive and doesn't take hours of searching through to find what you want - but that you feel the need to turn to of an evening or over breakfast in the hotel in order to plan for the following day. This guide fits that description perfectly.

Fabulous little book; ideal for a city break in Budapest. The extra map is really useful and it's waterproof too! Nice, bright, colourful and lots of pictures. If you want to spend more time here or in the area, would recommend something more comprehensive; but if you're there for limited time this is just the ticket!

I went to Budapest earlier this year and i must say this is an excellent book to carry round with you. It breaks the town down into 5-6 regions, each of which can be done in a day. The map at the back is especially handy for those occasions where you've gone off at a tangent and need to know your way back to the main road.... something that happened on many occasions.
Beware though, some of the museums/sites which the book says are free have now started charging - and they're not cheap!

Great city, good book
Book content pretty good and well indexed. Best bit is the map which, because it is laminated won't get mangled from use.

Very useful book for a first time visit.
Some information was out of date however, like free entrance to some museums.
