A Must-Have for all Vienna Travellers!

This book was so great for our Vienna trip! We were the most well-prepared travellers for this city, which cut out plenty of stress, and allowed us to really enjoy our Vienna experience!

Any other guide would be a better choice

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.
