Prague meets Warsaw with a touch of Paris - this sums up the allure of Budapest - the excitement of an eastern European city, rich in history but formerly out of bounds. Liszt, Kodaly, Vasarely, Varga, Turkish baths, whirling violins, devil-may-care gypsies, the famous Tokaji wine and of course a little goulash ...Old cliches die hard - though music and art still play an important part in the life of the city and the wonderful baroque and Secessionist architecture is there for all to see. Jam packed with information this guide offers the lowdown on where to secure a slice of that Hungarian rhapsody for yourself. It focuses on the best things to do and see in the limited amount of time available.
