Having recently returned from a trip to Budapest, I found the guide to be informative and comprehensive. The first section covering the history of the city was a great introduction to the history and culture of Budapest. The sights in each of the city's main area are clearly described or illustrated, and I took advantage of the guided walk around Pest, which saved a fortune from those offering sightseeing tours. The maps could be a little bigger (perhaps a pull out for future editions?), but I found the city very easy to navigate, so they were extremely useful. I was pleasantly surprised that such a compact publication could pack as much information as this guide did, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting the beautiful city.
