Product Description

Review

"A pleasurable read with ravishing photography plus maps and plans of supreme quality.' The Observer'


Product Description

Not many cities can match Vienna for fine art and fascinating history. This expanded and fully revised edition of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide includes 3-D aerial views of Vienna’s most interesting districts and cutaways and floor plans of all the major sights. Using the detailed maps and colour Street Finder navigate your way around beautiful palaces, churches and unrivalled art collections. With its hundreds of photographs, specially commissioned maps and architectural drawings, plus four great days out and specially devised walking tours, explore every nook and cranny of the Austrian capital. And after all that sightseeing, it points you in the direction of the heurigen - charming country taverns on the outskirts of the city where you can enjoy fine local wines. Whether you fancy taking in the grandeur of Schloss Schönbrunn, visiting the seven-roomed house once inhabited my Mozart, or capture panoramic views of the capital from the Danube Tower, this guide will ensure that you won’t miss a thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely helpful!, 17 Jan 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Vienna (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Hardcover)
I used this book, when being in Vienna with my husband for our honeymoon. It really helped us to find our way through the Habsburgs' palaces and the famous viennese cafes!! Austria's capital is merely one palace that consists of huge, elaborately constructed buildings! This book provided us with very accurate info about the city's history as well as many hidden historical attractions (e.g the catacombs under the Stephansdom and the Habsburgs' graves), which we would not have been able to discover without it! Its maps proved to be very precise and easy to use, also! I strongly recommend it to those who are interested in Austrian history and traditions!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the city, book OK, 17 Mar 2008
By ellie (England) - See all my reviews
It looked good on first looking through it but it didn't keep my attention for the duration of the stay.
It is well illustrated, the maps quite good, and it is quite comprehensive in terms of buildings and museums (well it is Vienna).
However, as someone who usually likes the eyewitness guides as a quick way of getting around, this one seemed a bit clinical and didn't appeal so much. Maybe I just didn't appreciate the detail in the book as much as I should have. In addition to the architecture, I enjoyed the Spanish riding school and the Butterfly House in the city, so as the week progressed I would have liked a bit more variety in the content, and some descriptions that would give me a real feel for the place.
Others may well have a different perspective?
As an aside, had some great Viennese cakes :-) - but I don't understand the excitement over the Sachertorte, thought it was very dry and not much flavour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice pictures, lacks depth, 3 Feb 2008
By Julie Cutler (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Vienna Eyewitness Travel Guide (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Hardcover)
Normally I'd go for an edition of the Rough Guide to get me round a city. I decided I wanted some pretty pictures as well- just in case I'd missed something when planning my visit. This book is heavy due to all the kaolin drenched glossy pictures (17 ounces/ 480g)- I'm starting to fret a little already about my hand luggage allowance (we're planning to travel without the anxious wait around the baggage carousel) .

It is however a complete pictorial guide to being a tourist in Vienna. I doubt we'll get very lost (as we normally do) on this trip as the full colour photos are distributed round a 3D projection of a district or building complex. There's a plan of the main airport and helpful photos of what a policeman and a 72 hour Vienna card look like. In some way it takes all the pleasurable guessing out of a trip to an unfamiliar place.

Where it doesn't score is the social detail- which I can best describe in these terms- The Eyewitness guide provides pictures of a wealth of Viennese patisserie- including the chocolate with cream confection "Mohr im Hemd". The Rough Guide to Vienna (Rough Guide Travel Guides) explains that this translates literally as the politically incorrect description "Moor in a Shirt".

In future I think I will purchase the Eyewitness guide first to see if a city has sufficient distinctive architecture, art galleries and yummy snacks to tempt me to visit. However it's back to the Rough Guides for insight.
