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.

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.

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!
