This review is from: Fodor's Prague and Budapest, 2nd Edition: Completely Updated, Where to Stay, Eat, and Explore, Smart Travel Tips from A to Z (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

This a very nice and comprehensive travel guide. I have no doubts of takeing it to my trip. The only BIG MISS in it, is that thera are no www pages or e-mail references for hotels, restaurants, museums, guideing services etc. etc.

This review is from: Fodor's Prague and Budapest, 2nd Edition: Completely Updated, Where to Stay, Eat, and Explore, Smart Travel Tips from A to Z (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

So they say you want a guide published recently and that makes this product just a little out of date, but it's a good guide.

Since it isn't the latest, newest thing it rang my chimes as the cheapest thing for a summer trip in 2007. Backpacking and trying to pack light I cut out the sections of the book I wanted. (Which works when you are essentially paying for the shipping.)

Budapest especially is going through some massive changes so if you want up to the minute buy something new. (The upcoming change to the Euro comes to mind.) It's a beautiful city, but beware, outside the tourist zones or say the mall or near the universities nobody really speaks English or German either.

Prague is, well, it's Prague. Who needs a guidebook anyway, just follow the masses and pay to enter everything. Wrong. There are some less-traveled gems in Prague and this book lists some of them. Not a bad buy at all.
