Vienna is one of the last truly European cities: her storefronts are architectural gems, her streets winding museums, and her history a showcase of intellectual and artistic glory. Viennawalks explores the treasures of this magnificent city, which can truly be appreciated only on foot.
A guide through Vienna's past, beginning with it's
inception as a Roman outpost, Viennawalks is filled with anecdotes about the city's
past and little known details of her people and cultural life. From
the lives and works of Beethoven, Mozart, Freud and Wittgenstein to
the best places to shop, stay and dine, Viennawalks is
written for people who want to learn when they travel, not just look.
