This visual travel guide combines rich and detailed text with historical
fact, local anecdote, and information about colorful characters who
lived in Vienna and made it what it is. Entertainingly written, the
guide works for the armchair tourist as for the visitor who wants a
brief but in-depth analysis of the city-not an encyclopedia of all the
city contains, but a digest of all that is best about Vienna. This guide
for the literate and independent traveler includes information about
Vienna's world-renowned architecture, unique art museums and galleries,
its famous coffeehouses, and excursions to the Vienna Woods, Grinzing
and the Heuriger, and Schonbrunn.
