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

The biggest difference: The full-size Rick Steves Vienna, Salzburg & Tirol is not only a comprehensive guide to Vienna, but also covers Rick's favorite Austrian destinations, as well as nearby Bratislava, the Bavarian Alps, and the Dolomites.

Rick Steves Pocket Vienna works best for people taking a short trip, or perhaps a return trip, to Vienna — and not venturing beyond it. Like our other Pocket guides, Pocket Vienna is smaller than the complete guidebook (and in full color) but still offers our best sightseeing advice and a handful of self-guided city walks and museum tours.

For travelers who want to delve deep into Vienna, or travel elsewhere in Austria, the full-size 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.

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! Check our guidebook updates for Italy.

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.

This summer, my wife and I purchased three Rick Steves guidebooks: Spain, Portugal and Vienna. They will be used in planning our April 2027 two-month trip to Europe. Rick's books are our "go to" source for information about our destinations. We purchase new books for every trip! Each $30 book is a tool to add enjoyment to our vacation. Each Europe vacation costs beween $10,000 and $20,000, depending on where we lodge, how we get around, what we eat, and what we do. When we use Rick's guides to find new sights, walks, museums, etc., the $30 investment is well worth the small expense. We always cut up his books and take only the sections we will need. Traveling light is important. We are in our 70s and have been traveling to Europe since 1974. We want to enjoy every minute of each adventure.
