The Budapest City Guides answer what visitors want to know before they go: where goulash and lángos are done properly, which thermal bath suits you and how to book it, how to enjoy the ruin bars without the stag crowds and which towns are an easy train ride away. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving every place a reason to visit, what to order or look for and a practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Bors Gastro Bar
Kazinczy utca 10, Jewish Quarter
A pocket-sized counter whose soup board changes every day. The bowls are generous and inventive and come with bread, which makes this a fast, warming lunch. From the food guide.
Irgalmasok Veli Bej Bath
Árpád fejedelem útja 7, Buda
A Turkish bath from 1575 tucked beneath a hospital, its eight-sided pool set under a dome. Small and mostly calm, with entry split into morning and afternoon sessions. From the things to do guide.
Valley of the Beautiful Woman
Szépasszony-völgy, Eger
Dozens of cellars cut into the hillside, where Egri Bikavér is poured for you right at the door. Plenty of them stay open in winter, when the valley is far less busy. From the day trips guide.
From the game straight into the city
World City Trail’s Budapest scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the historic centre. After the last clue the guides take over: lunch at Frici Papa, a glass of Tokaji at Kadarka Wine Bar, the HÉV out to Szentendre or a warm soak at Széchenyi on a cold afternoon.
