Once a mighty imperial capital and residence of the Habsburgs, Vienna is a city of enchantment, festive and lavish, with great powers of attraction. The Austrian capital's charm has beguiled many a musician. Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms, Haydn, Schubert and Strauss, were all Viennese by birth or adoption and music has become the spirit of this musical metropolis. Vienna the nostalgic, cherishes a rich architectural heritage with the added diversity of Historicism and the Secession, two uniquely Viennese periods. The charming Viennese enjoy strolling along the banks of the Danube, lingering to read their newspapers in one of the elegant coffee-houses of the city centre or singing while sipping local wines in a friendly open-air wine tavern on the outskirts of the capital.

4.0 out of 5 stars
an accurate, very well informed cultural & historical guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Michelin Green Guide: Vienna (Paperback)
At last the guide Vienna deserves! Not only full of informations about museums opening hours and location of tourist office or railway stations, but a real literary content for a cultural capital. The visitor needs such a focus on the rich and tumultuous history of the former habsburger city to enjoy her treasures. The michelin's touch gives you more : details, genealogy of each famous curiosity and a precious introduction to the viennese "art de vivre" that allows you to feel as an insider of this astonishing city. A good way for a successful journey. But it's really a pity you can't find any hotel and restaurant in this book. Why the hell Michelin does not give this information. Do they believe it is a good way to sell more "red guides" : they should at least give a kind of short list of "hotels de charme"
