These are the best guidebooks on Budapest. Whether you come here as a tourist or on business, you will need a guidebook that guides you through the city. This is especially true since most of Hungary does not speak English or any other foreign language. What's worse, many of the signs around the city are in Hungarian only, including some cryptic parking regulations.
So guidebooks are a much needed hand when you are in Hungary. The downside of these is that all foreigners end up in the same restaurants and cafes, trying to experience some authentic Hungarian life. Only there are no Hungarians in these places because as soon as they turn up on the pages of Lonely Planet, the prices go up and they become Westernized. Tourists start complaining that there are no croissants or no Irish coffee and the cafes start serving these. Meanwhile, the local delicacies gradually disappear because, unless they are listed in the guidebooks, nobody asks for them.
In any case, this is not to disencourage you from buying the guidebooks. On the contrary, please buy them right here.
