 Where's the pictures and maps? Have they even been to Budapest? June 14, 2007

Disapointment is the only word I have for all Budapest travel guides that I have purchased. I am anger at Fromer's inconsistency. I purchased a Venice book that had great maps, etc... This book was boring. No thrills.
Go to Budapest and re-write this book. Try a map or 2.

This seems extremely helpful (though I haven't taken the trip yet, so won't be sure for another couple of months). It has made planning my days in Budapest much easier and given me some insight into what to expect culturally.
Frommer's Budapest Review November 8, 2006

Very helpful, I don't think we would have been able to get around Budapest without it! We also went to a couple of the restaurants that were recommended, and we were quite pleased with those as well. The maps were all very useful as well.
Great help! August 27, 2006

We bought both this and the Lonely Planet guide for our trip to Budapest and lived by this book! I think the Lonely Planet guide is more for students backpacking across Europe, this is for the traveler not interested in only spending $20/day in Budapest. The recommendations were top notch, with the top attractions listed actually living up to the billing. All the restaurant reviews were dead-on, we ate at mostly reviewed restaurants and never had a bad meal. It felt like everyone in Budapest spoke English, so you really don't need a Hungarian dictionary, but it would be helpful if the back of the book had a slightly larger translation listing of foods, some important words like "liver" aren't included and can be a shock, especially in a pastry!

I am looking forward to visiting places that have been described in the book. This is our first trip to Budapest.
