Berlitz Budapest Pocket Guide

Berlitz is one of the most recognized names in language learning and travel literature, dating back to 1878 when Maximilian Berlitz founded the first school in Rhode Island, USA.

The Berlitz Pocket Guide series, such as this guide to Budapest, is a global publication. While the brand has American roots, the manufacturing of these books occurs in multiple countries depending on the regional distributor and printing contract, often being printed in Italy, China, or Singapore for international markets.

Ownership of the publishing arm of Berlitz has transitioned several times. Today, Berlitz Corporation is a subsidiary of Benesse Holdings, Inc., a Japanese education company. However, the travel publishing rights (Berlitz Publishing) are currently owned by APA Publications, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom. APA Publications manages the creation and distribution of Berlitz guidebooks alongside other major brands like Insight Guides.
