People say Budapest is the Paris of Central Europe. Maybe that statement holds because it combines western luxuries, architectural beauty, and cosmopolitan European traditions. Yet, this baroque city remains connected to its Eastern European heritage with steaming baths, an incredibly complex language, and lusty cuisine.

Budapest straddles a curve in the river Danube which bisects two distinct parts: the east side known as Pest, and the west side known as Buda, hence Budapest. It’s a very logical, well-laid-out city. Castle Hill is the premier destination for visitors and contains many of Budapest's most important monuments and museums, offering great views of Pest across the blue Danube. Pastel houses lining cobbled streets and stone balustrade overlooks give this citadel a fairy tale quality, while bullet holes from the unsuccessful 1956 uprising pockmark many buildings.

The main map of Budapest covers a large part of the central city in detail and is fully indexed with hotels, sites, architecture, metro stations, and parks. The City Centre inset map expands the old city grid and enables you to stroll the old streets and absorb Hungarian history and culture at your leisure. The inset map of the Budapest Metro facilitates your travel throughout the city.

One example of the importance of on-site research: when this Budapest map was first conceived in the early 1990s we encountered a unique problem with sudden unannounced street name changes. Streets named after heroic Socialist revolutionaries were changed without notice. The streets were renamed after heroes of the Hungarian National Liberation. Other maps relying on out-of-date documents still reflect the old street names. Imagine publishing a map and unknowingly using names like Karl Marx Ave. and Lenin Square. Whoops!

Fortunately, with our STREETWISE® Budapest Map, we adhered to a policy of physically researching and updating the city, thereby avoiding these sorts of mistakes.
