• Helpful And Portable 14 October, 2007
I hve always been a of Lonely planet, and this book is no exception. The size is easy to carry around and it is filled with great information. The only down side is that there is little information on public transportation and the maps are only okay. Over all, the good wins and I found this book to be very useful. While walking down the street one day we even ran into the musicians pictured on the cover!

• Great Pocket Guide 12 May, 2007
This slim volume contains pretty much all you need for a short trip to Budapest. There are plenty of maps, albeit very small. The highlights section is nice as well as the photographs and suggestions for walking tours. A great little carry along.

• Thumbs Neutral 08 January, 2008
Unless you are going to Budapest on a long weekend, save your money and buy Lonely Planet Hungary instead. Almost all of the information is in there with additional information on nearby areas. The metro system is under going a massive renovation so check with a local TI instead of the books to find out what lines are running.

• Very Useful 16 September, 2007
A great guide to the city for a first-timer. The walking tours were very useful in my exploration, and the recommendations were usually on point. The only problem was the restaurant recommendations, where many were full of tourists, all using the LP guide. But that's a minor problem for a useful, comprehensive guide to the city. I spent four days there and had a blast.

• Very Helpful 15 August, 2007
This book was small enough to carry around the whole time which is a big plus compared to those other bulky books. The map in the back wasn't detachable but it still really helped me in getting around. It very good in recommending what to see, how to walk around the city, and how long it would take to do all the things. I highly recommend this book.
