Budapest - Paul Murphy

Berlitz Pocket Guide Budapest is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the very best that this stunning spa-city has to offer. The Where To Go chapter details all the key sights: Buda's Castle Hill, with its cobbled streets and quaint houses; the Hungarian National Gallery, filled with masterpieces from the Hungarian Impressionists; the Liszt Museum, home of Hungary's greatest composer; and of course the Royal Palace and its fine museums. There are also excursions to nearby Szentendre, Visegrd and Ezstergom and further afield to Hungary's seaside at Lake Balaton. Handy maps on the cover help you get around with ease.

To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the city, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Budapest. The What to Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from taking to the waters in the myriad spas and wellness centres to catching a performance at the Hungarian State Opera House.

You'll also be armed with background information, including a brief history of the city and an Eating Out chapter covering its hearty cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z to equip you with all the practical information you will need.
