This is an excerpt from our larger guide to all of Hungary, focusing on Budapest and the surrounding area primarily. The author is a resident of Budapest, who knows the region intimately and takes us behind the scenes to discover its best features the sights, the places to stay and eat, the shopping, and all the activities. Millions of people every year hike into, bike, drive or climb into the green valleys and limestone mountain ridges of Hungary s national parks and the hills. Storks, eagles, wrens, blackbirds, woodpeckers, and flocks of thousands make their home in forests, grasslands, and cliff-sides. Majestic antlered stags and deer range the forest. Fresh springs and cold clear creeks tumble down from the mountains. The author takes us there. Sitting astride the Danube, Budapest has been called the Paris of Eastern Europe and The Pearl of the Danube. There are thousands of restaurants and virtually every type of cuisine. Hotels and nightspots are just as numerous and the author guides us to the best of them all. This is the only guide illustrated with color maps and photographs throughout. Print edition is 586 pages.

The second you land in Istanbul two things hit you: how vast it is and how chaotic. The cauldron of noise builds in the morning with the first call to prayer. As the city springs to life, ferries and tankers weave their way across the Bosphorus Strait from Asia to Europe and traffic chokes the streets. Hundreds of fishermen line the Galata Bridge in search of their daily catch to sell in cafés nestled below, while seagulls swoop and squall. At the end of the bridge, locals crush into the dark passageways at Eminönü's spice market and along the warrens of the Grand Bazaar for another day of haggling.

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is often referred to as the "Paris of the East." This vibrant city is known for its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively cultural scene. Divided by the majestic Danube River, Budapest consists of two main parts: Buda and Pest. Buda is the hilly, historical side, offering spectacular views and a wealth of ancient buildings. In contrast, Pest is the flat, bustling urban heart, home to many of the city's modern attractions and amenities. The city's origins date back to Roman times, and its long history is reflected in its diverse architectural styles, from Roman ruins and Gothic churches to Baroque buildings and Art Nouveau structures. Budapest is not just a visual feast; it also boasts a wide range of thermal baths, thanks to its location on a patchwork of thermal springs. These baths, some of which date back to the Turkish occupation, provide a unique way to relax and soak in the city's historic atmosphere. In recent years, Budapest has become a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. It offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, culture, food, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. From the grandeur of the Parliament building to the charm of the Buda Castle, the city is full of iconic landmarks that captivate and inspire. Budapest's culinary scene is another highlight, blending traditional Hungarian flavors with modern culinary trends. Street food stalls, cozy cafes, and fine dining restaurants offer a taste of the local cuisine, which includes hearty dishes like goulash and chimney cake. The city's markets, especially the Great Market Hall, are perfect for exploring Hungarian food culture and picking up local delicacies. The city's vibrant nightlife, characterized by its famous ruin bars, also attracts a younger crowd. These unique bars, often set in the ruins of abandoned buildings, provide an eclectic and lively atmosphere where you can enjoy drinks and music late into the night. Overall, Budapest is a city that combines old-world charm with modern energy, making it a must-visit destination for travelers looking to experience the best of both worlds.

On her thirtieth birthday, Gwendolyn Reese receives an unexpected present from her widowed Aunt Bea: a grand tour of Europe in the company of Bea's Sudoku and Mahjongg Club. The prospect isn't entirely appealing. But when the gift she is expecting--an engagement ring from her boyfriend--doesn't materialize, Gwen decides to go. At first, Gwen approaches the trip as if it's the math homework she assigns her students, diligently checking monuments off her must-see list. But amid the bougainvillea and stunning vistas of southern Italy, something changes. Gwen begins to live in the moment--skipping down stone staircases in Capri, running her fingers over a glacier in view of the Matterhorn, racing through the Louvre, and taste-testing pastries at a Marseilles cafe. Reveling in every new experience--especially her attraction to a charismatic British physics professor--Gwen discovers that the ancient wonders around her are nothing compared to the renaissance unfolding within. . . "A thinking woman's love story, it swept me away to breathtaking places with a cast of endearing characters I won't soon forget.
