Audio tour Summary
Budapest is a city that’s alive and bursting with energy again after the long, enforced slumber of the Communist years. Since the Iron Curtain finally rusted away Budapest has been moving up through the gears – well it does have a Formula One Grand Prix nowadays – and into an exciting city. On the social scene there’s a phenomenon called “Ruin Bars” which are opened at low cost in older, less polished surroundings but offering a lively nightlife. Let’s not forget the big, set-piece tourist sights though – that marvellously ornate Parliament building… fine Art Nouveau architecture … and relaxing boat trips on the Danube. They are all in this guide to the centre of the Pest side of Budapest made by travel journalist Tim Richards and helped by Eszter…

We found directions extremely vague, instructions along the lines turn left and across the square are of no use when the next point is a 10 minute walk. The information regarding some of the buildings was informative though. Some of which we would have never spotted on our own. The distance between points of interest was too great. We passed lots of things between points which could have filled a space.

Narrator gets his info from a DK Eyewitness travel book and still manages to get things wrong. For example, he bloviates about the Török Bankház (misspelled here as Toroq) and then mistakenly refers to it as art deco, when it is quite clearly Secessionist, a movement that predates deco by at least two decades.
