Should I get Rick's Central Europe guidebook in addition to this Budapest book?

Probably not. If your trip is limited to Hungary, Rick Steves Budapest fits the bill — it's not only a comprehensive guide to the city, but also covers all of Rick's favorite Hungarian destinations, plus nearby Bratislava.

If your trip includes Budapest (or Eger) as part of a wider trip to eastern central Europe — to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, and/or Poland — Rick Steves Central Europe is probably the better buy. It includes thorough coverage of Budapest and Eger, albeit with less detail on Budapest than you'll find in Rick Steves Budapest.

Latest updates: When we learn of critical changes to the information in our guidebooks on Hungary, we post them. (Of course, it's still smart to reconfirm critical transportation and sightseeing details locally.) Armed with a Rick Steves guidebook and these late-breaking updates, you're set for a great trip! Check our guidebook updates for Hungary.

Submit feedback: Once you've used this book in Europe, we'd love to hear your feedback — good or bad — about our advice on sights, hotels, restaurants, and travel tips. We're also interested in any tips or discoveries you made while in Europe. Your comments help us improve our guidebooks for future travelers.

The Guidebook will be invaluable for the 4 days that I will be in Budapest next year identifying things to see, places to eat, and ways to get around.

Very informative

All RS guide books are great! He puts so much information including things we don’t think about and he makes really good suggestions. I really like the maps included.

Excellent content. A "must have" resource. Very thorough with no stones left unturned!
