Budapest by Bob Dent

With all due respect to other guide books on Budapest, this one's the best. While newcomers to the capital city of Hungary may be better off with a richly illustrated, colorful, glossy-looking guidebook, Bob Dent's "Budapest" will suite the ones who already know their way in the city and want to learn more about the sights, or maybe even get off the beaten track and see places where mainstream tourists rarely go. The thorough descriptions of just about everything there is to see in Budapest are enriched with bits and pieces of insider information, such as short biographies of famous Hungarians and little tales from Hungary's history. Bob Dent's English is easy to understand, but the book looks more like a textbook than a guidebook and may be a challenge for the impatient. I especially recommend it to experienced Budapestgoers or as a work tool of great value for professional Budapest guides.
