About this book
The Rough Guide to Vienna is the ultimate guide to one of Europe's most elegant and civilised capital cities. From the world-class art galleries and museums full of Art Nouveau and Modernist pieces to getting off the beaten track and exploring the narrow, cobbled backstreets of the Innere Stadt or the lively cafés and bars of the Naschmarkt area, this guide covers it all. Frank, incisive reviews take you straight to the best of the city's coffee houses, restaurants and nightlife venues, from the minimalist to the magnificently traditional, while tell-it-like-it-is listings help you find the right accommodation for your budget, whether that's a boutique hotel off Karlsplatz, a grand classic on the Ringstrasse, or just a perfect budget hideaway. With inspirational photography, neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood accounts and detailed, up-to-date maps, The Rough Guide to Vienna is the perfect companion for a weekend away or a longer city break.
Make the most of your holiday with The Rough Guide to Vienna.
