 English language books |
Oktober 6 utca, 11 District V Budapest 1051 Hungary +36 1 312 1295 http://www.bestsellers.hu/ |
This bookshop is rather small but nonetheless contains a good variety of quality British fiction. This is also the place to go if you're planning to continue travelling - it stocks Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Time Out, Everyman and other major travel guides to some pretty obscure destinations. There are also cookbooks, children's books and British magazines. The only drawback is that it is relatively expensive. Any title from the U.S. or UK can be ordered free of charge but you may have to wait a month or two for it to arrive. It is open on Sundays. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Vintage Hungarian wines |
Mammut Shopping Center, Lovohaz utca, 2 District II Budapest 1024 Hungary |
This shop sells most top-quality Hungarian wines. This includes hard-to-find wines such as Tibor Gal's gorgeous reds from Eger, and the expensive Tokaji Aszu from the Royal Tokaji Wine Company (which is partly owned by British wine writer Hugh Johnson). Stay away from fancy bottles: what's inside should be more important than the container. The shop is located just in front of the escalator on the second floor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Shopping mall with multiplex |
H-1032 Budapest Becsi ut, 154 Budapest 1035 Hungary +36 (0)1 437 4660 http://www.eurocenter-obuda.hu/ |
This mall is on the same street as another Obuda mall (Uj Udvar), which opened in 1998, showing just how intense the competition in Budapest has become. Eurocenter competes with its predecessor with the aid of a seven screen Hollywood multiplex, an Interspar and some forty five other shops. Parking is free. The mall is air-conditioned which makes it a pleasantly cool haven from the summer heat. Review © 2007, Wcities |
