Phillips and Scotchmer are winners of the coveted Guidebook of the Year award. Comprehensively updated – while still full of colourful reflection and corny gags! – this second edition of Budapest has also been thoroughly refreshed and reformatted with a swish new design, far more colour and photographs, and easier-to-use grid-referenced maps. It is the essential travel companion to a city that sits outside the euro zone and therefore offers better value than some of its European neighbours. As well as short breaks and business conferences, Budapest has a growing reputation for affordable dental work, cosmetic surgery and luxury spa treatments – so visitors can really return 10 years younger... Bradt's new edition of Budapest will suit the culture vulture, the gastronome, the naturalist and the water baby alike. So whether travelling on business, for pleasure or for pain, in high style or with finances frankly 'a béka segge alat' ('lower than a frog's arse'), this is the book to buy. • Thoroughly updated with new reviews of hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs • New details on ‘health tourism’ – cheap spa treatments, dental work and cosmetic surgery • Revised city walking tours
