First Sentence
Think of Vienna and a gamut of images surge forward to flood the memory banks: angelic choirboys thrilling a crowd of onlookers, proud white stallions strutting in measured sequence, grand imperial palaces and bombastic baroque architecture too beautiful to ignore, Art-Nouveau masterpieces of depth and quality, art galleries with unfathomable collections, and of course strong coffee, delicate pastries and divine cakes.

I bought this guide as preparation for living in Vienna for 9 months last year, and it was so useful, I must have referred to it almost every day. Detailed and informative entries on all the usual tourist spots in and around the city, as well as some "behind the scenes" places for the tourist who prefers to absorb the culture of the locals. There is also a section on day/weekend trips to surrounding towns and countries, which i used and found to be invaluble. Thank you Lonely Planet for another excellent guide.

My wife and I, and some friends spent four days in Vienna in late May 2007. We enjoyed the city very much, and found that we were constantly referring to this excellent guide. The required information was easy to find.

I bought this book as I was going to be living and working in Vienna for a few months....this book was my saviour...I used the maps at every opportunity and found the majority of information to be up to date and informative.
Some great tips in there including a nice selection of quirky options including the amazing funfair, Prater and the Funeral Museum?!
Good point of reference if you are on the lookout for a good place to eat, some basic lingo to learn and brilliant run down of museums and galleries to visit.
I would definitley recommend the Lonely Planet guide if you are heading to Vienna!

Nice, but...
I started feeling that Lonely Planet has, time after time, too much more info, but that, at the end of the day, that info is not exactly what you're looking for. Read more
