5.0 out of 5 stars
Just got back from Vienna,
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Vienna 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Just used this book for a 10 day trip to Vienna, it was great. Excellent information, history, context, maps everything. We loved using this book and I was even reading in on the plane ride home. This book combined with a good stand alone map will cover you for all your needs. We used the "Streetwise Vienna" laminated map.
