Product Description
You'll never fall into tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go- they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!
City of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, pastries, and baroque architecture, Vienna became a showplace city under the Hapsburgs- and unlike many European capitals, managed to retain its landmarks through two world wars. Frommer's offers detailed, complete coverage of all the highlights. Rely on us for indepth reviews of attractions and museums, the best accommodations for every taste and budget, the lowdown on the dining and cafe scene, a complete shopper's guide, the best of the performing arts, and more- including side trips to nearby Danube River towns and Lake Neusiedl resorts.
If you're combining your visit to Vienna with a trip to Prague or Budapest (both are just a short train ride away), check out some of Frommer's other helpful guides for your trip, such as Frommer's Prague & the Best of the Czech Republic and Frommer''s Budapest & the Best of Hungary. For a book on more of Austria then "just" Vienna and the Danube Valley, see Frommer's Austria.

• Any Other Guide Would Be A Better Choice 19 June, 2005
Chose this guidebook over others as much to check out the Frommer's style as to get travel info. Normally I am a Lonely Planet guy, but since I was staying with friends didn't need a lot of in depth descriptions of logistics (lodging, travel etc.). Just looking for a description of some of the attractions.
I found the guide difficult to use. Although I didn't need much in the way of logistical support, there was really very little. There were only about 4 maps in the whole book and they were spaced out all over the place. Virtually no information on specifics for those arriving overland. Worse, the descriptions of the attractions any sense of enthusiasm. Normally when I read a guidebook, I get the sense that sites are over-hyped, but this book almost made me want to skip the city altogether.
I have found Frommers on-line a good source of info and reviews but won't be buying another of their guidebooks in the future.

• Disappointed Frommers Fan 17 September, 2007
We have a shelf of Frommer guides, US cities, Canada, Mexico, Europe & Asia. This was the first bomb. I found it totally useless and not up to the quality I expect from Frommer. Since it was the only guide to Vienna we had with us I feel my vacation was negatively impacted by it. After this experience I will not automatically purchase the Frommer.

• Good Book For Vienna 05 September, 2006
Just got back from a weekend drive to Vienna. There is a ton of usefull info in this book. I wish there was a fold out map covering all of Vienna though. (Our hotel gave us one for free). I can't speak for the Hotel recomendations but the restaurant picks were solid. For like 16 Euro you can get a 72hr public transit pass. This pass also gets you museum discounts and freebies at seletcted restaurants.
