Summary: Excellent Guidebook
Review: I went to Austria on a trip sponsored by my school's German department, and I brought this book along with me. I knew more than our tour guide about many things in Austria, and left with a real appreciation of Austrian (and German) customs. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Did the author ever venture into the 'out-back of Austria'?
Review: I've been to Austria COUNTLESS times and have been to all corners and nearly every valley in Austria...I bought this book with the hope that it might help to discover something new....and of course to check on the information on places I have been and been impressed by..... this book is seriously lacking in place to stay and eat in the countryside. It misses out on some of the very lovely and amazing Austrian accommodations and places to eat..either food , ambiance OR location(view).... Bummer...please get a new author lonely planet you really alwyas do a good job.

Summary: The Reason I've Bought 3 More Lonely Planet Books
Review: There is no doubt this author has travelled extensively through Austria. His writing is richly detailed and down to earth. He doesn't just tell you what's there, he gives you additional insights and opinions which help you decide whether or not you want to spend your time going to a particular castle or place. I felt like I was taking along a personal tour guide. I was so impressed, I've bought 3 more Lonely Planet books, 2 of which are also written by this author.

Summary: SPLENDID SCENARIO
Review: This handy guide leads you to the discovery of the splendid Alpine views dominating great part of the Austrian territory, and which attracts visitors both in summer and in winter. You read about Vienna, Salzburg and the other main cities, with hundreds of addresses for restaurants, cafés and taverns. You also get an illustrated section on Austrian architecture, as well as 50 detailed maps. You can't go wrong with this travelling companion.
