5.0 out of 5 stars
A very fine book,
By JAD (The Sunshine State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Austria (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
We wish we could see every place in this guidebook, but for our return visit to Innsbruck plus our first ever visit to Salzburg we used it to plan our trip and to get our bearings. It is a very fine book indeed and the photos, drawings and facts are worth more than the list price, not to mention the sale price. We liked the Street-by-Street pages that give a map that is in three dimensions, so you really get the feel for where you are. Perfect for following the red dashed walking tours and for wandering from the pathway knowing how easily one can get back again. It is a great book to have on hand to revisit in one's mind these far away places. And to look forward to the next time...

Great Guide!,

This review is from: Austria (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Turtleback)
I love this brand of travel books. The images really help you to identify attractions, as well as the birds eye view maps. I also enjoy the "must see attractions" call outs within each section. This book helped make our trip through Austria more well informed and helped us plan our major stops. We also got one for Budapest which was equally great.

This review is from: Austria (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Turtleback)
I had purchased a similar book for my son about France to help him with his French language courses in high school. I ended up spending more time with it than he did, and when I saw the other country titles, I decided to purchase a few more. The Austria book is excellent in that it condenses a lot of information into a very portable volume. The photos and illustrations are fabulous and the background historical and cultural information is superb. The listing of accomodations and restaurants also appears to be very well researched and provides a starting point for further Internet research. My favorite part of Austria is the Salzburg Region, and this book provides a genuine sense of what it is really like. I can definitely benefit from this book on future travel to Austria. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know more about the country, as well as for experienced travellers. Well done to the authors, editors, and publisher!
