Budapest, Hungary’s beautiful and lively capital, a dynamic city full of tradition, that is at the same time symbolic of a country in the throws of dramatic social and economic change. Fantastic architecture, smart shopping streets and the unique magic of a city on the river: Budapest dazzles with its splendour.

MARCO POLO Budapest takes you up to the Fisherman’s Bastion with its magnificent views over the city, and down into the bustle of the Central Market and the wonderful atmosphere of the city’s traditional coffee houses. Budapest has a host of attractions: a day spent on the green Margaret Island can be just as much a part of a visit as a night at the opera or an evening stroll across the Chain Bridge.

The Insider Tips reveal where young fashion designers display their latest creations and where the Budapest scene meets up. The ‘Best Of’ pages highlight some unique aspects of the city, recommend places to go for free, contain tips for rainy days and tell you where you can relax and chill out.

You’ll find out What’s Hot in Budapest, from eco design to attending cultural events in thermal baths. The City Walks guide you along the Castle Hill and into the Jewish Quarter. Last but not least the Dos & Don’ts warn of changing money on the streets and of fake policemen.

MARCO POLO Budapest provides comprehensive coverage of the city. To help you find your way around there’s a detailed street atlas inside, a folding public transport map in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map.
