For Serious Travellers and First Time Visitors Alike. Budapest: a Critical Guide is an unusual, cult app— possibly the truest, most personal, and funniest insider’s city guide ever written about any major city, updated as often as necessary, by Budapest author/historian András Török.
“I came across this little gem in a small bookstore while strolling down Andrassy Ut. in Budapest. Its essentially a loving and learned essay on the city slyly disguised as a guidebook. Of course hes got the requisite walking maps, addresses and practical information, but what he really does is to capture the soul of the city and its denizens, past and present. Its clear that his evocative observations and opinions, laced with wit and candor could only have come from one clever guy whos truly lived the life in Budapest. Youll read every page of this book as though it were a novel. ” (From a reader.)
