In general most of the prices were listed in the book as lower than they actually were.

The Pest Town Center walk- Pg 137 When it says "Head for the river, Take the street that runs along the left side of the big glass building at the bottom of Vorosmarty ter..." It does take you to the Promenade.. but not where it thinks you end up. You end up directly along side the Marriot, not between the Marriot and the Pesti Vigado. It is very confusing because it implies you are someplace else. I htink the Pesti Vigado is to the right- then you back-track to the Marriot and follow the directions again.

Also- I could not recognize at all where he was when he mentions the "Little Paris" Square in page 139.

On Page 141 where it indicates to turn right and walk along Karolyi Utca- you will not find the street name here because it is a ter- and the signs all say the ter name- not the street name. I peeked at the map and trusted the book- and even though there is no-where the name of the street the book gives- trust it and go.. eventually that street name shows up after you get passed the square. (Thank goodness a friend told me all streets in the ter bear the name of the ter... helped me to not worry about where I was)

I LOVED the guidebook! It was the ONOY reference I used during my trip- and this was the only walk I had any difficulties at all with- everything else was spot on!

For the most part I found that your price list were way off. For example the Gellert Spa has inflated their prices

In the recommendation for Cafe Kavehaz in Pest, it mentioned 1,000 Ft sandwiches. While we loved the cafe and enjoyed our pick me up, we did not see any sandwiches on the menu, and certainly nothing for 1,000 Ft. I don't know if they changed the menu after Rick's visit or not, but we were a bit disappointed. We did, however, enjoy fresh asparagus soup and wonderful cappuccino, and the atmosphere of course!
