Now in its 3rd edition, the Time Out guide still amazes me with its wealth of information that is as useful for the tourist as it is for someone actually living in this city, and I say that as an Austrian who has lived in Vienna most of my life.
Researched by a team of writers who have no doubt been living here for some time, and helped by a number of Austrian writers and journalists who know the city intimately, the information is accurate, extensive and, what's most important, to the point, no matter which chapter you're turning to, be it history, politics, restaurants, shopping or lifestyle. What's extremely refreshing, especially in a book about a city like Vienna, is the total lack of cliché; quite on the contrary, the authors took great care to point out what's cliché and what isn't.
No matter whether you're coming for a few days or weeks, a couple of months or years, or whether you've already lived here for ages - chances are you will find this extremely useful. Not even travel guides published in Austria are this good.
The new 3rd edition is not just an update of the 2nd edition, but a complete rewrite. Whereas the 2nd edition was a slightly disappointing abbreviated update of the excellent 1st edition, this is again up to the high standards of this series of guidebooks, and is highly recommended.

regarding the october 2005 edition. This Time Out guide is 95% great, it has good insights and choices of places.
the only issue i have is for aticles in relation to the map guide. for example you look at a review and it gives a map location, address, page and grid number. you try to find this address and realise it can't be found. normally the map page number is wrong but the address and grid number is correct. so each time you have to flick through the city map pages to find the right grid location yourself. why 3 out of 5? because although it's a minor issue in print. in practical terms, it makes it really difficult for visitors to find places in the city. but like i said, still a great guide.

This book has been produced without due editorial care and attention - the index is arbitrary and incomplete, and I found many incorrect cross-references. A factual inaccuracy: Arnold Schoenberg's grave in the Zentralfriedhof is not in section 33C, but in 32C. Nor is it organised in a way that makes it particularly easy to use; in my view, the principle of organisation used in Michelin Guides is superior.
