5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, fun, and opinionated, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be highly valuable in my trip to Vienna. I found the restaurant and hotel descriptions, short, useful, and (at least for the restaurants that I went to) spot-on. The guides to the various sites (Belvedere, Schoenbrunn, etc.) are also informative, and somewhat opinionated, which different readers will find either useful or irritating. All in all, definitely worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best., December 22, 1998
By A Customer
I planned a recent trip to Vienna w/ this guide & it proved indispensable. Sharp, concise, fun & up-to-date - The Rough Guides are the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointing, April 2, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Vienna, 2nd Edition (Vienna (Rough Guides), 2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I find the Rough Guide to Vienna not particularly "rough" - except as far as some of the information it contains is inaccurate or outdated. Other than that, it mostly concentrates on the tourist spots and does not even attempt to give readers or visitors the greater picture of things. It's not a bad guide, but it gives you only a very limited picture of what this city is all about. I was quite disappointed.

Buy the TimeOut Guide to Vienna instead.

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
