REVISED 2023 Streetwise Budapest Map is a laminated city center map
of Budapest, Hungary. The accordion-fold pocket size travel map has
an integrated metro map including lines & stations. Coverage
includes: Main Budapest Map Front 1: 17,000 Main Budapest Map Back
1:11,000 Budapest City Center Map 1:11,000 Millennium City Center
Map 1:17,000 Budapest Metro Map Dimensions: 4" x 8.5" folded, 8.5"
x 27" unfolded 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 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 Other maps who rely on out of date documents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 (R) 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. For a selection of the best restaurants and hotels,
buy the red MICHELIN Guide Main Cities of Europe. For driving or to
plan your trip to and from Budapest, use the Michelin Hungary Road
and Tourist Map No. 732.
