4.0 out of 5 stars Good info, July 4, 2007

By	Sue B. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's Austria (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

Should have spent more time reading the book before the trip. Some helpful preparation tips. Had some great info and descriptions. The book is separated into geographic regions. If you are headed to a small town (as we were) it is more difficult to figure out which part of the book to refer to. Great for bigger cities and tourist destinations.

As for the other locations, the Frommer's Austria is an excellent guide for a traveller. It is candid, helpful, and informative. I especially appreciated the descriptions of the attractions in Vienna.
