Visible Cities Budapest (Visible Cities Guidebook series)

Bisected by the mighty Danube into Buda to the west, leafy and hilly, and Pest to the east, built on a completely flat plain, Budapest's panorama ranks as one of the loveliest cityscapes in Europe. Divided into four sections, this guide provides a background to the city and its history, detailed information on where to go and what to see, including the famous thermal baths and coffeehouses, and an overview of the city's food and wine with selective lists of restaurants and hotels. Eight guided walks highlight the city's ancient history, grandiose architecture, vibrant culture, and local tradition.
