Product Description

Product Description

Despite being a magnet for nostalgia trippers and Habsburg fiends, there's much more than chocolate cake and waltzes lurking behind the porticoes of Vienna's grandiloquent Baroque palaces and in the mezzanines of its elegant nineteenth century apartment buildings. In particular, Vienna's vibrant art scene was given a contemporary jolt with the arrival of the MuseumsQuartier arts complex, and further enriched by the renovation of the world famous Albertina graphic art gallery and the reopening of the Palais Liechtenstein in 2004. With a quarter of a million fewer inhabitants than at the turn of the 20th century, the city is currently a spacious, fluid, multicultural arena whose enviable standard of living is bolstered by local commitment to investing in public transport, leisure and cultural activities and hi-tech industry. With the celebration of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 2006, Vienna marshalls one of its most enduring icons to consolidate its status as the capital of classical music, while inviting maverick theatre director Peter Sellars to give a contemporary spin to the concepts underlying the composer's work. This edition contains features on Vienna's signature fin-de-siecle architectural marvels and the Danube waterfront's current flirtation with the skyscraper. It is the best English language coverage of the city's feisty restaurant scene, chilled club culture, historic cafes and bucolic wine taverns. On publication of the previous edition, local listings weekly 'Falter' feared regulars would no longer find a table in their favourite watering holes. It gives full details of Vienna's ever-expanding family of museums and galleries, with features on the newly reopened Palais Liechtenstein and the latest developments at the Museumsquartier - Vienna's take on the Centre Pompidou.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best guidebook to Vienna, 4 Nov 2005
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars great guide BUT the map pages are totally off!, 9 Aug 2006
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars inaccuracy and poor editing, 12 Jun 2007
By S. Gardner "S Gardner" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
