"The best guidebook yet to post-Communist Budapest."—Travel + Leisure

In this fourth edition of Visible Cities Budapest, Annabel Barber and Emma Roper-Evans offer a comprehensive guide to a rapidly changing city. Here, Budapest's fascinating history, legends, and native character are revealed in detail, and readers are offered an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the architecture, inhabitants, food, and wine of the region. Unexpected historical details reveal what the Habsburg emperor said about Europe's most beautiful opera house, why the Hungarians eat paprika, and who bowed to the ground in thanks when he first saw Buda. In full-color, with five detailed walks and excellent recommendations on what to see and do throughout the seasons, Visible Cities Budapest is an invaluable guide that does more than inform—it reveals. Full-color throughout.
