1 I Love The Eyewitness Books
All of the major travel guide series are good, but Eyewitness books are something else. They are so full of maps and wonderful pictures that after you read them, you really feel as though you have already been to the place in question. All of the books have a similar structure: the inside front cover has a map containing the various color-coded neighborhoods, the back inside cover has a map of the metro system, Introducing Budapest, Budapest Area by Area (with more color-coded maps and detailed info on the attraction in each area), Traveler's Needs (including Getting Around Budapest), and Survival Guide. Trust me, this is money well-spent!
