You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you really need to know when traveling in Budapest.
This electronic edition has all the same great information as the paperback edition, including most (but not all) of the maps and illustrations, and a detailed table of contents linked to chapter and sub-chapter headings, for ease of use.
Following this book's self-guided walks, you'll explore Europe's most underrated city. Soak with Hungarians in a thermal bath, sample paprika at the Great Market Hall, and take a romantic twilight cruise on the Danube. Wander through the opulence of Budapest's late-19th-century Golden Age: the Parliament, Opera house, Great Synagogue, and Heroes' Square. View larger-than-life relics of the bygone communist era at Memento Park. For a break from the big city, head into the countryside—to Habsburg palaces, Hungarian folk villages, the historic winemaking capital of Eger, and colorfully tiled Pécs.
