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

  Budapest straddles a curve in the river Danube which bisects two distinct parts. The east side is known as Pest and the west side is 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, and 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 Center inset map expands the old city grid and enables you to stroll the warren of old streets and absorb Hungarian history and culture at your leisure. The inset map of 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 1990’s we ran into 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 Other maps who rely on out of date documents for updating still reflect the old street names.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.

  Our pocket size map of Budapest is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.

• May 1, 2010Great, easy to use, and waterproof map

  I used the map on my recent trip to Budapest, and compared to the other maps, was much better, easier to read, water proof (it rained for half of the trip). I rode my bike everywhere, and had the map on hand to find where I was. I highly recommend it. Granted, it only shows the most centric areas of Budapest, but that was all I needed in my travels.

  This map was a travel necessity. What a lifesaver, Budapest was a challange but Streetwise was very easy to use and helped us to get around. very durable!

• January 13, 2009Streetwise Budapest

  I happily used this map for my November 2008 trip. This map is first-rate -- the streets are clearly marked, the major destinations are labeled properly and placed correctly. I also found the inset map of central Pest (and where many of the major sights are) to be very helpful, with virtually all of the smallest streets marked. This map and my camera were really all I needed for many fine days of sightseeing in Budapest.

• January 10, 2009Way too much packaging!!

  The item in question (a plastic laminated city map of Budapest) was just fine and came as offered. But it was shipped in a ridiculous amount of unnecessary packaging which A) I'm sure increased my shipping costs and B) is very bad for the environment. I think it would be a good idea for you to look at whether or not all this packaging is really needed?

  Map is indestructible. Coupled with a compass attached to my camera it eliminates the appearance of being lost.
