Bestsellers

The name of the shop may be Bestsellers, but here you can get your hands on much more than Tom Clancy's latest blockbuster. Opened way back in 1992, Bestsellers has been a lifeline for Budapest's English-speaking community for donkeys' years, with an enormous range of titles arriving every week from the US and UK. Needless to say if you're looking to delve deeper into the Hungarian psyche you can also find a number of the country's very own scribes translated into English. Why not try Peter Esterhazy's 'A Little Hungarian Pornography'. No, there aren't any pictures.

A wonderful shop with a good selection of English books. It's indispensable for expats here!
