Budapest Mini Guide (Bradt Mini Guides) Book

With its Parisian boulevards, faded art-nouveau palaces, hidden courtyards and illuminated bridges, Budapest is one of the world's great romantic cities. Bestriding the Danube, the city presents two very contrasting faces - Buda on one side of the water and Pest on the other. Explore the caves and Roman ruins of Buda, board a cog-wheel railway into its leafy hills, take a stroll through the cobbled streets of the Castle District or a soak in a thermal spa. Alternatively, seek out the vibrant shops and restaurants of Pest, admire the Westminster-inspired Parliament building, go boating in City Park, or spend an evening at the opera. History and culture are covered in detail, as is the practical information needed for a fulfilling and trouble-free trip. This guide features: · The best restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs · Where to stay, from luxury to budget · Full coverage of the sights of Buda and Pest · Museums, churches, galleries, theaters · Boat trips, shopping, thermal spas · Historical, cultural and architectural heritage · Comprehensive practical informationRead More
