Eastern Europe: A Comprehensive Guide to Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland

One of the least-explored regions of Europe before the revolutions of 1989 and 1990, the former Eastern Bloc nations of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland have experienced an overall increase in tourism of 30% in the last three years and this pace is expected to continue well into the 1990s. In addition to comprehensive cultural and practical information on the capital cities of Prague, Budapest and Warsaw, this book goes off the beaten track with tours of the Baltic Coast, the Slovak countryside, Hungary's Great Plain and other less touristy areas that are now more accessible to independent travellers. It also features background essays on history, politics and cultural life.
