Good Guide

This seems extremely helpful (though I haven't taken the trip yet, so won't be sure for another couple of months). It has made planning my days in Budapest much easier and given me some insight into what to expect culturally.

Great help!

We bought both this and the Lonely Planet guide for our trip to Budapest and lived by this book! I think the Lonely Planet guide is more for students backpacking across Europe, this is for the traveler not interested in only spending $20/day in Budapest. The recommendations were top notch, with the top attractions listed actually living up to the billing. All the restaurant reviews were dead-on, we ate at mostly reviewed restaurants and never had a bad meal. It felt like everyone in Budapest spoke English, so you really don't need a Hungarian dictionary, but it would be helpful if the back of the book had a slightly larger translation listing of foods, some important words like "liver" aren't included and can be a shock, especially in a pastry!

Frommer's Budapest and the Bes of Hungary

I am looking forward to visiting places that have been described in the book. This is our first trip to Budapest.

Frommer's Budapest & the Best of Hungary

It's been my "Bible" as with all Frommer's books that I have bought in the past.

A great help for visiting Budapest

Due to the language barrier, this guide will bwe a big help to me when I visit Budapest in the fall--selecting a hotel, restaurents, sight-seeing etc.
