Exuding a fin-de-siècle elegance, Budapest is two cities for the price of one. Whether you want to take a dip in mineral-rich thermal baths, step back in time on the cobbled streets of Castle Hill or enjoy ca drink in the city's ruin pubs, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Budapest has to offer. Gazing at each other across the Danube, Buda and Pest, the city's two halves, have their own distinct characters. While Buda is famous for its incredible medieval architecture, Pest is bursting at the seams with historic cafés and vibrant neighbourhoods. Our updated guide brings Budapest to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the city's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods. We've also worked hard to make sure our information is as up-to-date as possible following the COVID-19 outbreak.
