Is This the Right Book for Me?
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.
