Reviews

[Rupert Dreyfus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful and thorough. However, it lost a star for adopting what felt like a patronising tone. Just because I'm visiting Vienna, doesn't mean I intend to act like a bourgeoisie bell-end.

Appena tornata da Vienna meravigliosa

Finalemente sono riuscita a ultimare questa lettura in vista della mia partenza! L'ho trovata completa e piuttosto divertente a tratti, consigliata sicuramente a chi pensa di passare le vacanze in questa splendida città!

First time using a travel guide from the Lonely Planet series and it did the job on my recent trip to Austria. Detailed information about popular tourist stops as well as a briefing on history, language and culture. Even in the internet age, I still prefer traveling with a hard copy guide.

Informative.

[əm. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Di grazia, dopo un mese di studio stile manuale universitario, il minimo è recensirlo, anche se la cosa è ridicola essendo una guida di viaggio e non sapendo ancora se mi sarà effettivamente utile. A parte questo, è stata la mia salvezza nella programmazione. Il fatto che dia indicazioni su orari di apertura, prezzi, informazioni pratiche, consigli per tour tematici, alberghi e locali con brevi descrizioni mi ha salvato dalla ricerca matta e disperatissima a cui sarei statx inevitabilmente destinatx

Did the job while I was in Vienna. Went on the shelf when I got home. Never taken off the shelf since.
