Having only four days in Vienna, we wanted to pack in the most while keeping an eye on expenses. The "Top 10" guide greatly facilitated the efficient organization of our sightseeing, cultural, and dining experiences. Took the guide's advice and saved/saw the most by using the airport train and hop on/off two day tour bus pass. The included easy to read compact city center map complimented the guide. It's not necessary to purchase a separate city map.

Very useful book as are all the TOP 10 books. Gives you good information in a quick orderly format. Maps are okay but a little small. The spots discussed in the guide could be denoted better on the maps. Otherwise, this is well worth buying and handy to have while touring.

I like to do thorough research before a trip and frequently use the "big" travel books. But unless you're visiting an area for a month there sometimes is more information than you can use. They're also not that portable, which means they're less useful as guides DURING the trip, and sometimes their maps aren't that easy to use.

This guide avoids all those problems. As with all DK Eyewitness travel guides, it's lavishly illustrated with photos, which help you see what places really look like, and it has excellent maps.

It's a perfect "take with" book. We spent 5 days in Vienna recently (stayed a block from St. Stephens, right in the middle of things) and we used this book constantly. Vienna is a wonderful walking city and this book was easy to tote; no travel guide is useful out on the town if you left it in your room. We typically start the day with a general idea where we're headed but like to improvise specific destinations, so we constantly need to check the map and look up attractions. This guide is ideal for that. I had several guides but this wound up being the one I used; it had the best detailed maps and just the right amount of information.

A well thought out guide with just enough information for a long weekend. The visit to Vienna using the guide certainly made us want to return.

Great book! Light weight (fit in my camera bag) and gave me a wonderful orientation of the city. Good maps included with routes for the Uban. Don't miss this opportunity!

We have been using DK Eyewitness Travel books for quite a while now. We use the regular size books and also the portable Top 10 books as well. I love reading the historical backgrounds that give you an idea about the country and people you will be visiting, the colorful pictures, maps, recommendations and practical information sections. I am so used to the practicality of the way the book is set up, I get lost when I look at other travel books. When we plan a trip, the first thing I do is look up the most current DK Eyewitness Travel book. Loved Vienna and this book did not fail us, again.

This book has great information. I think it will help guide myself through the city. Thank you.
