Now fully redesigned, this new edition of Cadogan's unique three-city guide contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Vienna, Prague and Budapest are growing in popularity as city break destinations thanks to their beautiful city centers and increasing number of trendy restaurants and hotels. Prague offers the ultimate romantic getaway with its stunning medieval Old Town, cobbled streets, gothic churches and magnificent castle, the largest ancient castle in the world. The center of Vienna is UNESCO-listed and is a cultural paradise, featuring several excellent museums, the stately Imperial Palace that once served as the residence to the powerful Hapsburg dynasty, and Sigmund Freud's house. Meanwhile Budapest, a veritable fountain of medicinal waters, is home to dozens of swimming pools and bathing halls dating back to the Turkish Occupation and a wonderful place to relax in a spa after all that sight-seeing and shopping.

This is an excellent book, packed with useful advice. We visited all three countries using this one book and found it extremely informative. We used the top 5 recommendations shown for each country and was not disappointed. If you are only spending a couple of days in each country then take this book with you - it will save you a lot of time working out where to go!

This guide has an inbuilt advantage in that all other publishers retain separate guides for Prague, Vienna and Budapest, but none combining all three. As such, Cadogan could have cornered the market but this book does not deliver the goods.
I can't yet vouch for the accuracy of the information (my trip is in a couple of weeks), but in terms of layout and formatting it is miles behind the excellent Dorling Kindersley guides. The pages are not easy to read, they seem poorly laid out and fail to draw the reader's attention to key features in each city, there are no pictures at all, maps are tucked away in the centre of each section rather than as an easy access pull-out. In short, not at all a user-friendly guide for easy use on the move.
My only other Cadogan guide is for India, which scores by having greater depth of information. Here, there is nothing unique other than the fact that the three cities are combined. A great pity.
