This 'alternative' tourist guide invites readers and users to discover and explore the various ways different national or other groups, from Germans and Jews to Serbs and Roma, have arrayed the Hungarian capital and contributed to the magnificence of this city. It offers whole walks around its quarters where particular groups have or have had a marked presence, and calls attention to sights worth visiting whille doing other 'usual' tours. Selecting from the almost infinite variety, it is the first tourist guide to present the cultural diversity of Budapest.

'I have been living in Budapest for over 25 years, and this publication is without doubt the most interesting one I have ever read on the city... REALLY' (Paul Merrick, the proof-reader)
