Product Description
Product Description
Featuring the background on Vienna's culture and history, plus the practical low-down on everything from the clubs and cafes to how to get to see the Spanish Riding School, day-trips to the Wienerwald, Klosterneuburg, Esienstadt and others, this 2nd edition includes Viennese recipes and the rules of Tarock.
Excerpted from The Rough Guide Vienna (Vienna (Rough Guide)) by Rough Guides. Copyright © 2001. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
WHEN TO GO
Lying at the centre of Europe, Vienna experiences the extremes of temperature typical of a continental climate with hot summers and correspondingly cold winters. In terms of weather, therefore, late spring and early autumn are by far the best times to visit. There are other reasons, too, for avoiding July and August in particular, as this is when many of the city’s theatres and concert halls close down. Sure, there’s enough cultural activity to keep the tourists amused, but the Viennese tend to get the hell out. In contrast, Christmas and New Year are peak season in Vienna. Not only does the city look great in the snow – and you can be sure that the Viennese are very efficient about keeping the paths clear – but also the ball season, known as Fasching, gets underway, along with the glittering Christmas markets and, of course, the world-famous New Year’s Day concert. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most people visit Vienna with a vivid image of the city in their minds: a monumental vision of Habsburg palaces, trotting white horses, old ladies in fur coats and mountains of fat cream cakes. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages
