Hungary

With increasing airline coverage of Budapest, keen foreign interest in the local property market, a weak currency, and significant recent investment in hotels and other visitor facilities, Hungary’s tourist industry is booming. The first edition of Bradt’s won the Best Guide Book Award from the British Guild of Travel Writers; this thoroughly updated second edition further strengthens the guide, offering expanded coverage of Lake Balaton (which now has its own airport and is a popular resort destination), new walking trails in the countryside, details of the best thermal baths, information on dental and medical tourism, and much more.
