What better to accompany a visit to Budapest than someone like Andras Torok, a person who knows Budapest inside out, from top to bottom, and then som. Well actually the next best thing is this book, which is just brilliant. As the books back cover blurb goes Torok is a cross between an Egon Ronay and a Samuel Pepys, but this only does him scant justice. The key thing to follow from thise book are the recommended walks - I did them all, they are fantastic, and the book contains stacks of information about what to look at, what to look out for, what to do, eat, drink, listen to and just idly observe.

Great job Mr Andras Torok! take my hat off to you Sir!

There is no better insiders guidebook to Budapest. This guy simply loves the city. His description of the Szobor Park (statue park where they keep all the old Stalin statues) is worth the price of the book.

I found this book to be very informative, and I highly reconmmend it. Even if you do not plan on going to Budapest. It is so much fun to read. My son who is 12 years old "Andrew" is also crazy about it. Do you know how hard it is to get kids to read these days? HARD!!! Thank You Mr.Torok.
