3.0 out of 5 stars
A mix of useful recommendations and smug commentary, December 30, 2003
This review is from: Time Out Budapest (Paperback)
Bought this for a recent 5 day visit to Budapest.
On the positive side, it is very useful for finding restaurants and bars. The reviews are generally accurate. The layout of the book is fine, using the index became the primary way of locating information.
On the negative side, the book was very poor on providing what I would call 'travel' information; History of the city, places to see and do, getting around etc. I found many of the descriptions to be very condescending and patronizing and did not inspire us to visit anywhere. I gave up and bought the Lonely Planet Guide to Budapest which was much more useful.
We ended up using the two books which led to a great 5 days in Budapest!
