Now fully redesigned, this new edition of Cadogan’s unique three-city guide contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Vienna, Prague and Budapest are growing in popularity as city break destinations thanks to their beautiful city centers and increasing number of trendy restaurants and hotels. Prague offers the ultimate romantic getaway with its stunning medieval Old Town, cobbled streets, gothic churches and magnificent castle, the largest ancient castle in the world. The center of Vienna is UNESCO-listed and is a cultural paradise, featuring several excellent museums, the stately Imperial Palace that once served as the residence to the powerful Hapsburg dynasty, and Sigmund Freud’s house. Meanwhile Budapest, a veritable fountain of medicinal waters, is home to dozens of swimming pools and bathing halls dating back to the Turkish Occupation and a wonderful place to relax in a spa after all that sight-seeing and shopping.

From the Back Cover:

Three fairytale capitals, peppered with domes and dungeons, spiked with spires, laced by dreamy bridges and overlooked by castles in the air – Vienna, Prague and Budapest are linked by Hapsburg history, battle-scarred in more recent centuries, but all still glorious, and all thriving today at the heart of modern Europe. From Vienna's wine cellars, legendary caf� scene and top-class classical music, through the beer halls, Baroque gardens and golden Gothic chapels of Prague, to Budapest's traditional baths and stately boulevards, romance and adventure are guaranteed. Excursions further afield to spa towns, castles, palaces, into the woods and up the Danube, combine with Cadogan's usual entertaining insights, add up to a trip that will never be forgotten.
