Visible Cities: Vienna

by Annabel Barber

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.
