The Rough Guide to Eastern Europe: Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria (1988)

Travelling through Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria the stereotype of a uniform Eastern Bloc is swiftly demolished. In their individual approaches to socialism, and even more so in their diverse Central European and Balkan roots, the three countries are as disparate as any in the West. Hungary, well-used to independent travellers, is easy-going and relatively familiar - and Budapest one of the great cosmopolitan cities. Much less visited, Romania combines a spectacular mountain heartland with a rural society at times almost Medieval in its legends, music and festivals. Bulgaria, though best known abroad for its Black Sea resorts, has a magnificent legacy of historic towns, churches, beautiful nature, and Orthodox monasteries. The Rough Guide is the first complete handbook to this region. Both practical and entertaining, it is packed with useful and unusual information, whether you're looking for nightlife in Pest, wildlife in the Delta, or Dracula's Transylvanian haunts.
