27th March 2009 - Bradt Travel Guides

It worked for JFK so why not Bradt?  The first new ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ city guide editions have hit the bookshelves of the free world and are certainly the proudest boast within earshot of Bradt HQ in the Federal Republic of Chalfont St Peter at the moment.  The City Guide series has been thoroughly refreshed and reformatted. The books still have the personal, opinionated and detailed information by expert authors for which they were already so respected, but now they are really stylish in look too – with a swish new design and far more colour and photographs. The colour, grid-referenced maps are easier to use too, and the books are conveniently pocket-sized. So sticky buns all round then…


Bratislava – Edition 2 – By Lucy Mallows
Indeed, who else could have been first to publish a guide to Bratislava?  One of the great Baroque cities of central Europe, Bratislava is situated on Europe’s most important river, the Danube.  As Mallows says, ‘It doesn’t bellow its beauty like Prague but states its case quietly and insistently… Bratislava is not the elusive “new Prague” and is probably quite happy being itself’.  Visitors can explore the car-free centre on foot soaking up the buzz of pavement cafes, tree-lined squares and elegant buildings.  This new edition includes updated reviews of ever-changing restaurants, cafes, and bars.  Also included is expanded coverage of day-trips outside Bratislava including the Small Carpathian Wine Route, a region full of wine cellars and internationally recognised winemakers.

Budapest - Edition 2 – By Adrian Phillips & Jo Scotchmer
Phillips and Scotchmer are winners of the coveted Guidebook of the Year award. Comprehensively updated – and still full of colourful reflection and corny gags! – this second edition of Budapest is the essential travel companion to a city that sits outside the euro zone and therefore offers better value than some of its European neighbours. As well as short breaks and business, Budapest has a growing reputation for affordable dental work, cosmetic surgery and luxury spa treatments – so visitors can really return 10 years younger...  Bradt’s new edition of Budapest will suit the culture vulture, the gastronome, the naturalist and the water baby alike.  So whether travelling on business, for pleasure or for pain, in high style or with finances frankly ‘a béka segge alat’ (‘lower than a frog’s arse’), grab a copy now.
