Recommended Budapest Guide Books:

András Török's Guide to Budapest - written by a long time resident of Budapest who knows the city inside-out, we've been fans of this title ever since the first edition appeared way back in 1991. Describing the city through a series of guided walks, each are accompanied by detailed illustrations which, as well as being beautifully constructed, serve as visual identifiers to help navigate your way around the city.
 

Rough Guide to Budapest - the very latest guide book on the city from one of the most authoritative travel publishers around. Along with a useful 'author's picks' section, you'll find full listings for galleries, museums and attractions in Budapest, along with background on excursions to the nearby picturesque towns of Szentendre and Esztergom. Comes complete with detailed maps for the entire city.

Recommended Las Vegas Guide Books:

Unofficial Guide To Las Vegas 2006 - probably the only guide you'll need for downtown Vegas, this extremely well-researched title not only gives unbiased reviews of casinos, hotels and restaurants (with each rated accordingly), but also has its very own conference calendar, plus detailed information on lounge shows, headliner acts, nightlife and gambling rules. Our only criticism - if you're after information on sights further afield, then it's best read in conjunction with offerings from Frommer's or Fodor's.
 

Fodor's Las Vegas 2006 - ideal for first-time visitors to Vegas, Fodor's Gold Guide offering is jam packed with information, not only for sightseeing, shows and gambling once you arrive, but also in planning your trip to Sin City. Updated annually, each guide relies upon local experts who know the city inside-out. And, with options to suit all tastes and budgets, it's one of the most accurate and easy-to-read companions to Vegas that you'll find anywhere. Very good indeed.

Recommended London Guide Books

Rough Guide to London - expert coverage of the city's sights, from Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to lively Covent Garden and attractions along the South Bank. As well as detailed accounts of the city's neighbourhoods, including trendy Clerkenwell and Hoxton, you'll find up-to-date reviews of many of the capital's hotels and restaurants, plus detailed coverage of London's shops, pubs and clubs to suit all budgets.
 

DK Eyewitness Travel Guides 'London' - provides area by area descriptions of the major sights, along with a detailed section covering London's history. Although not quite as detailed as the Rough Guide to London (see left) or Time Out's London Guide, the book's excellent photographs and cutaway colour illustrations make it a worthwhile companion. Newly published in January 2006.

Recommended Prague Guide Books

Rough Guide to Prague - head and shoulders above similar offerings, Rob Humphreys' Prague guide offers an excellent full-colour introduction to the city, before giving the low-down on the city's Old Town, Prague Castle and attractions further afield. Reliable reviews of local hotels and restaurants make planning all the more easy, whilst sections on Prague's history, politics and culture, plus a selection of detailed maps, make this a truly indispensable guide.
 

Having been plaudits of DK's Eyewitness Guides for many years, their use of photographs and illustrations (to help convey sights and basic information that would, otherwise, take several pages of written prose to explain) make them worthy travel companions. Especially useful in places where language can be a problem, DK's Prague offering is a wonderful guide for non-Czech speakers, with cutaway illustrations of churches, museums and places of interest that make sightseeing a breeze.

Recommended Toronto Guide Books

Time Out Toronto - exploring one of the world's most dynamic and ethnically diverse cities, Time Out's Toronto offering captures, in a nutshell, the spirit of Canada's leading metropolis. Showing the best the city has to offer, expert local writers provide hints and tips on eating, drinking, and shopping, whilst also covering its thriving arts scene - including the prestigious International Film Festival. Of course, you'll also find listings for the best attractions, galleries, museums and hotels, as well as a trademark section detailing day trips out of town.
 

Insight City Guide Toronto - based on our experience of the previously published guide (this version is due out May 2006), Brian Bell's offering contains a number of itineraries and excursions - in and around the city - along with chapters detailing the history and culture of Toronto as well as suggestions for exploring the local nightlife, restaurants and sporting venues. Includes a detailed pull-out city map and visual guide to local restaurants.

Recommended Vienna Guide Books

Only In Vienna: A Guide to Hidden Corners, Little-known Places and Unusual Objects - from the outset it's easy to gauge just how much care and attention to detail Duncan J. D. Smith has put into crafting this excellent Vienna offering. Indeed, we'd go so far as to say that it's one of the best travel guides we've read in recent years. The city's sights are described here in detail, along with an excellent collection of accompanying photographs. All told, Smith's writing brings to life a city brimming with culture and tradition, with emphasis placed upon little known details about Vienna's major and more difficult to find sights. UK only.
 

Frommer's Vienna and the Danube Valley - often travellers explore the Austrian capital in conjunction with day trips further afield. Here, Frommer's offer detailed and complete coverage of all Vienna's highlights, with detailed reviews of the major sights, museums and galleries (along with accommodation listings). With the inclusion of side trips to nearby Danube River towns and Lake Neusiedl resorts, it's a well-written and thoroughly researched title which, when bought in conjunction with a decent Vienna map, offers almost everything that a first-time visitor to Austria would need.
