Is this the right book for me?

What's the difference between this Pocket guide and Rick's Vienna, Salzburg & Tirol guidebook?

Rick Steves Pocket Vienna works best for people taking a short trip, or perhaps a return trip, to Vienna. Like our other Pocket guides, Pocket Vienna is smaller than the complete guidebook (and in full color), but still offers our best sightseeing advice, a handful of self-guided city walks and museum tours, and a foldout map.

For travelers who want to delve deep into Vienna, or travel elsewhere in Austria, the full-size Rick Steves Vienna, Salzburg & Tirol guidebook is a better option. It offers complete chapters for plenty more Austrian destinations, as well as more substantial (and more frequently updated) advice on Vienna itself: practicalities, sightseeing, self-guided tours, hotels, restaurants, concerts and nightlife, shopping, and the city's history and culture.​
Updates and Feedback

Latest updates: When we learn of critical changes to the information in our guidebooks on Austria, we post them. (Of course, it's still smart to reconfirm critical transportation and sightseeing details locally.) Armed with a Rick Steves guidebook and these late-breaking updates, you're set for a great trip!

Submit feedback: Once you've used this book in Europe, we'd love to hear your feedback — good or bad — about our advice on sights, hotels, restaurants, and travel tips. We're also interested in any tips or discoveries you made while in Europe. Your comments help us improve our guidebooks for future travelers.
